This place is a hidden gem! Pizza’s are incredible, all their pasta dishes are amazing. Had the chefs special shrimp scampi (lightly breaded) wow! Doughmaker for the pizza has been there 25+ years. This is a must stop! Take it from a professional!

It's like stepping back in time to a 1950's-60's supper club. Plastic-covered table cloths, fading Italian artwork on the paneled walls, and an "All-Sinatra-All-the-Time" soundtrack. The table staff are all seasoned pros who don't hesitate to get sassy with the guests. The food is okay - but not much more than that. Our dinner companions who ordered pasta dishes (Lasagna and a variety plate with Manicotti, Ravioli, and Stuffed Shells) enjoyed their entrées more than we enjoyed our chicken dishes. The chicken breasts in our entrées (Chicken Parmesan and Chicken Porto Fino, named for the restaurant) had been pounded too thin then overcooked, so they were drier and tougher than they should have been. The side salad was unremarkable, and the other sides were not worth eating. The broccoli arrived cold and the side of spaghetti was bland and ordinary - not even as good as you'd make at home, much less restaurant quality. The house-made bread didn't meet expectations - although it was warm, it had almost no detectable flavor. If you have a hankering for Italian food while in Daytona Beach, this might scratch the itch somewhat, but I predict it won't be a highlight of your stay.

This place was a pleasant surprise and within walking distance from our hotel. We didn’t expect this place to be what it was. What we experienced was fine Italian dining for a great price. Everyone working there seemed to be Italian and the food was amazing. Very authentic! They served homemade bread, salad, or soup with our meal. I didn’t get pics of the meatballs or ziti that my youngest son ordered but his meal was just as good as ours in the pics below. It was good enough that I would visit it a second time while staying here.

Delicious! So glad we got to experience this place and their specials. We had a large party. The wait staff was very accommodating. The food came out pretty quickly and the waitress continued to refill drinks promptly. Very Satisfied!

June 2022 When we arrived we got seated right away, 2 of the waitresses were arguing with each other, save it for after hours ladies. Ice tea good, Salad good, Bread good, Spaghetti it was ok, the Chicken Parmigiana not so good kind of rubbery, not to tasty. Please clean dried food splatter on blind and wall we sat near kitchen. Ok 8/8/22 Every place deserves a 2nd chance so family went back I ordered Spaghetti with meat sauce, Taste Great ! My wife enjoyed the Combination Pasta she says taste wondeful try it. They were able to seat a party of 20 people. And the Pizza was good. Thank You Porto Fino.

We had an amazing experience!! Billy, our waiter, was knowledgeable and attentive. He was also hilarious!! He kept our glasses full, our bellies full, and our hearts bursting with laughter. He didn't mind stopping stopping have a quick conversation and that was nice. To top it off, the food was delicious! I had some chicken florentine soup and pizza; both were extremely yummy. My wife had the chicken alfredo and she subg high praise about it. We're only here in Daytona for the week, and have a few restaurants we want to visit, but, if given the opportunity, we will be returning

We had the best dinner and the sweetest server! We ordered the pepperoni pizza and usually I’m not a big pizza fan but it was delicious and the cheese pull was so satisfying! The New York strip Med Rare was delicious! My daughter ordered the chicken Alfredo it was also 10/10. Salad with the house Italian dressing is a must try!

Now this is the way Italian food should be. Perfection. During our recent visit to Daytona, we ordered carry out from hear. The pizza was perfect. We ordered a 12 inch meatball Parm sub that was hands down the best I've ever had. And the Tiramisu was so good I can still almost taste it. Exquisite! Staff met me at the door made me feel so welcome that I kind of hated to leave. You won't be disappointed in this genuine Italian restaurant.

I like this place and sometimes folks have a bad night. Tonight was one of those. I called to let them know they packed up some many day old lettuce for my pick up. You know the kind, wet squishey and eeeew. When I called the cashier tired to tell me it’s fresh every day. BS. Next time just offer to replace. Millie’s is close enough as is Johnny Hulas. Not coming back for a while.

Was on tour and this hole in wall. Italian bistro was across the street so I tried it after returning from track. What a gem of a old school Italian restaurant. From the owner and staff was a welcoming 60s vibe dinner from the fresh bread to the homemade sauce. From the plastic table covering to the faded photos on the wall. A true blast from the past. Thanks for a great meal ...

We have had dinner at Porto-Fino for many years and returned tonight. We all had had pizza, which was delicious, as always. Our server had personality plus and has worked there for 45 years. We enjoyed the Sinatra background music and it added to the atmosphere. Such an enjoyable evening!

Wonderful food, friendly staff, quick service, and great atmosphere! The food is very good and incredibly worth the price. A nice cozy place to come for pasta. :)

Our pizza was AWESOME! Cute little beachside restaurant. My only complaint would be our server. She wasn't the friendliness. We came to learn from talking with the sweet, nice young girl that they called her Grannie & she had been working there since she was 18. Well, I said that explains a lot & we nicked named her Grumpy Grannie. Again, the pizza was AWESOME & if we pass through the area again, we would stop & dine in.

A trip to Italian gastronomy, the spectacular lasagna and the Founder filet in seafood sauce a delight. you can close with a tiramisu, accompanied by a bottle of Italian wine Caposaldo

Our appetizer was great, the wine was great, but we had expectations for a robust Italian meal and it just missed that mark. I noticed that a lot of the food in the area was bland, which was all around disappointing. We left with our bellies full and the server was engaging and funny. Just add more seasoning and this place hits 5 stars, also the shrimp scampi is not good, needs to be cooked differently and add butter sauce and noodles.

Nice cozy Italian restaurant, good for family. We had dinner during our Daytona visit. Food was tasty and service was quick.

We had pizzas and egg plant Parmesan.. generous portions. Best of all was the friendly old school service from our waiter. He was great with talking to our kids and just seemed very authentic and enjoys his job serving people. Great for families.

This is the best Italian restaurant I have ever experienced! The service was excellent! The cook was very genuine. I could feel that the cook really cared that you personally liked the food! My wife and I are here from Montana and we have gone to Italian restaurants in Vegas that weren’t this good! And the price was very reasonable! I would have paid more for this meal!

Excellent Italian food! We were a party of 9 and they accommodated us at the last minute, no questions asked. Service was fast, never waited on drinks or appetizers. Highly recommend when in Daytona.

Our family loves this place! Every time we are in Daytona we eat here at least once. Fresh food, huge servings, and amazing service. Ask for Billy, he will make your experience the best!

It was a cozy very well themed place, amazing staff, very nice and always there to help. The meat sauce on my pasta was hands down the best I've ever had.

The atmosphere is nice, however, the formal vs the casual street wear is off putting. Staff was chewing gum and looking at their phones during service. Calamari was mostly tiny squid, and inconsistent. I had the white Zinfandel wine and it was very pleasant. Some of the decorative lamps are a little off putting....the salad also had way too much vinaigrette dressing. The clam chowder was soaked in whatever sauce they had and the clams tasted....off. probably wouldn't come again.

I ordered a chicken parmesan sub bread on the side and they refused to make it they said I had to order a whole entire dinner the place is very old fashioned I went to Genovese Cafe and got myself my sandwich with bread on the side no problem and as I stated I ordered that pizza from Porto fino and there was barely any mushrooms on it quite disappointed! George the owner is rude.

Linda our waitress was spectacular!! My husband never pays a compliment, and he said WOW she doesn't let my drink sit empty. Excellent food and service. The sauce is delicious and baked bread is very soft. Had to edit review to mention the busboy, I believe his name is Zack (muscular young man) huge asset to the restaurant. He didn't allow a finished plate to sit long on the table. Excellent Job is an understatement. We will be back with friends next time.

The food and desert was extremely good! In addition, all of the servers, especially Billy, were excellent and made our dinner a very enjoyable experience. I would highly recommend coming here.

Best spaghetti and meatballs I've had in years. Pizza was excellent! The atmosphere is classic baby.

Chef’s Scampi and veal parmigiana were terrific! Linda was a fabulous waitress! Everyone was sweet! Old school Italian restaurant! Lots of wine! Dessert to go! Fair prices. We’ll be back!

Long time popular , family style Italian Restaurant. Nice atmosphere with all the favorite Italian songs playing for more ambiance. The lovely Julia was a most pleasant server ; personable, knowledgeable and attentive but not intrusive. Food was tasty and well presented. We’d return for sure.

Fabulous reception and service. Saundra my love and I stopped by for a late dinner. Delicious minestrone, salad, Fettuccine alfredo! Authentic Italian cuisine and atmosphere. Love it! Dan served us, Billy assisted. Thanks again guys!
