Reviews for Locanda Portofino

Situated next to a wine shop on 11th & Montana with no visible signage, this Italian restaurant offers authentic dishes like their unmatched penne vodka and an inviting patio area perfect for warmer weather. Although they now charge $4 per basket for bread and include a 20% service charge, the excellent service, charming Italian waiters, and delicious homemade pasta make it a worthwhile dining experience in Santa Monica.

Nestled next to a wine shop on 11th & Montana, the restaurant offers a unique dining experience without any visible signage. The penne vodka is a standout dish, drawing me back repeatedly, while the charming patio adds to the ambiance, especially when the weather is warm. Although I was surprised by the service charge and the cost of bread, the excellent food and attentive service make it a memorable destination for Italian cuisine.
