Tucked away on 20 High Street in the heart of Bath, the Portofino Italian Restaurant Bath Menu delivers a memorable dining experience that feels both authentic and elevated. This charming Italian eatery blends classic recipes with modern finesse, making it a strong contender for those seeking quality Mediterranean fare in a cozy, elegant setting.
From the first glance, the menu offers a well-curated selection of traditional Italian dishes, ranging from antipasti and wood-fired pizzas to creamy risottos and rich, slow-cooked pasta. The Linguine alla Marinara, loaded with fresh seafood and balanced by a subtly spiced tomato sauce, stands out for both flavor and freshness. Similarly, the Tagliatelle with wild mushrooms and truffle oil offers a deeply satisfying earthiness that’s hard to rival.
The starters are no less impressive. The bruschetta is crisp and generously topped, while the calamari is lightly battered, tender, and paired with a house-made garlic aioli. What sets Portofino apart is its ability to balance indulgence with refinement-each plate is beautifully presented, and the portion sizes are satisfying without being overwhelming.
Service is consistently warm and attentive, adding to the welcoming atmosphere. The staff demonstrate genuine knowledge of the menu and are eager to make recommendations based on dietary preferences or wine pairings. Whether you're there for a romantic dinner or a casual lunch with friends, the ambience-characterized by soft lighting, rustic décor, and gentle Italian music-enhances the overall experience.
Compared to other Italian restaurants in Bath, Portofino confidently holds its own through a combination of quality ingredients, thoughtful preparation, and a menu that doesn’t try to do too much. Instead, it focuses on doing the classics exceptionally well. It’s a testament to what a true Italian dining experience should feel like-authentic, flavorful, and heartwarming.
