    My partner and I came in for lunch today and I gotta say, it was amazing. It seemed to be a quieter lunch but that’s what I like. It also looked like the two chefs that were doing the prepping, for maybe dinner service, were also the ones serving us! I have to say they did a fantastic job handling it all. The man who served us was very helpful and cooked our food wonderfully.

    Reading some reviews on this place I was worried about the service but it seemed they changed management because it was quite delightful. Very good energy and delicious food.

    Thank you Portico Chefs for making our lunch so enjoyable.

    Came here on a weekend recently and truly I’m surprised a place like this is even still getting business.

    Our server Katy was amazing and so kind. After placing our order we had waited for 3 orders of bread, 2 came and the other was 5-8 mins behind. No problem as it was nearing end of the night. One person had asked for balsamic for their burrata. By the time the third bread came out entrees were coming out. We asked for additional balsamic as the prior one was out and the server was more than accommodating however the owner made a huge fuss about how we shouldn’t have gotten another as there was one on the table. When I say the remaining one had just a small residual left I’m not kidding.

    Fast forward to the main dishes, I had ordered the Mediterranean lemon chicken with roasted vegetables. My dish had literally 4 small pieces of chicken, a burnt zucchini top and that was it for $23

    The manager and her husband are truly ruining it for their staff. Never should you reprimand an employee like that in front of their table, nor tell the dish washer to get in the back and not be seen. It truly felt like we were in a different dimension with how they were operating this place. I have previously worked in the industry and for very high end companies. Never have I seen someone treat their employees this way.

    We did tip well as it wasn’t our servers fault for the hiccups and she was doing her absolute best. However management needs to fix their attitude asap.

    I can’t say I’d recommend this place unless you are able to enjoy lots of wine and ignore the degrading behavior displayed.

    Basic kindness/grace for their waitstaff is much needed. I see the owner has replied but has yet to mention the issues with the dish served. It was our servers 3rd day on the job and she did wonderfully but management needs help!

    My husband and I popped in here while out puttering around. I’m so glad we did! We were planning on just ordering appetizers but they were so good we needed up sharing a pasta dish too. It was incredible! Every bite we had was delicious. We are planning our next visit already!

    I cannot say enough wonderful things about this place! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with such warmth and kindness — the staff truly go above and beyond to make you feel welcome. The food was absolutely outstanding. I ordered the lasagna, and it was easily one of the best I’ve ever had — perfectly layered, rich in flavor, and absolutely melt-in-your-mouth tender. You can really tell that the pasta is handmade fresh in-house — it had such an incredible texture and delicate taste that you just can’t find everywhere. Every bite was perfection.
    I will definitely be coming back and trying even more dishes. I highly recommend this place to anyone who loves authentic, high-quality Italian food. If you’re a pasta lover like me, you must try their house-made pastas — they are truly something special. Overall, an amazing experience all around — from the food to the atmosphere to the genuinely sweet and attentive staff. 10/10!

    Visited my sister in Sebastepol with my other 2 siblings (1.5 hr drive for me). We walked along downtown & stopped to look at posted menus before turning back around to come to Portico & SO SO glad we did! We sat outside on a lovely Sat afternoon & had the best service & some of the best food & desserts ive ever had! My sister has traveled abroad & let us know how authentic everything was (the owner is from Italy & is a wonderful cook & baker!) I really would like to bring my siblings & parents here for their Anniversary soon & would definitely try to purchase a whole cake & tiramisu. Everything we ordered was 100% absolutely delicious & I will gladly make the drive just to eat here again. Italians love to feed people & as a food lover, I appreciate that! Homemade everything!
