Not many great places in the area... Had never heard of it and went on a great recco from a friend that lives near by. Small, quaint and charming ran by an Argentinian family with home made food. Had a delicious veal chop with a lobster bisque that was creamy and almost perfect (could have used some chunks of lobster in it), but full of flavor. Great for a romantic dinner or with the family.

Caffe Portofino

This is a cafe and a casual French restaurant. From breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea to dinner, all available. The facade looks ordinary, there is no hole in the sky, connected to a chic small garden. It was beautiful to eat in the yard on summer evenings with lights and candles. Food was fresh and seasonal.

this place is amazing! friendly and just wonderful fresh food! worth it for your money and you just have to eat here!!

Mauricio the owner always makes us feel at home. Always order the hog fish if its a special on the menu!

We visited on a Tuesday evening at 6:00. The place was nearly empty. We chose the Eggplant Napolitano to share as an appetizer and were quite pleased. My wife had the fish special -- Sea Bass Piccata -- and I had the early bird special Veal Ossobuco. The special just allowed me to get a bowl of the soup of the day for a few dollars less. The soup was &quot;White Bean&quot; which I took to mean Italian Cannellini beans. Was I ever surprised when the soup showed up filled with Black-Eyed Peas (which are actually beans but are not what I would call &quot;white&quot; beans). The soup was quite good, but definitely was not the Italian version I expected. The Sea Bass was perfectly cooked with a crisp edge and excellent Piccata sauce -- actually a quite amazing dish we would order again in a heartbeat. The Ossobuco was fork-tender (as it should be); some of the best I&#39;ve had in quite a while. My wife had a glass of Prosecco and we shared a reasonably-priced bottle of Ca Montebello Pinot Nero (Italian Pinot Noir). Both wines paired well with the food. The waiter&#39;s English was broken and we had a little trouble communicating, but in the end the meal was quite a delight (except for the soup&#39;s confusing identity).

We&#39;ve eaten here a few times on previous occasions, and it&#39;s in our opinion, consistently good. We always like to find an Indian restaurant as it makes the usual fayre not seem so repetitive. Starters were a selection of different samosas and they really were tasty. Main, we always share a chicken Biryani as that particular dish is our favourite, and it&#39;s plenty for 2 people to share. Sag paneer is great, so too, the Bombay aloo. The owner always stops by to say hello, and is normally found in the kitchen cooking. The service was good, we didn&#39;t have to wait for anything. This is not to say we were rushed, were most certainly were not. It&#39;s a really nice change to the busy rush of other eateries who clearly just want the table back ASAP. We are back here in June, so we shall indeed return. It&#39;s a no brainer. As for the previous diner, Average at best, if you do have a pallet for Indian food, then this is without doubt the best within 20 miles of Brickell. Note that the others closed. That&#39;s saying something.
