Traditionalists: This is your spot. Portofino’s, named after a city on the coast of northern Italy, inspires nostalgia, even if it’s your first time stepping into one of its locations. It doesn’t stray too far from the classic Italian template: mozzarella is a key ingredient in all of its specialty pies, and there’s a special attention to sauce.
