bend bulletin restaurant review 2017
"The ravioli (my selection, on a recent visit, was filled with wild mushrooms)
and meatballs (four of them) were prepared with a wine reduction and served
​with grilled focaccia. Accompanied with glasses of red wine, they were delicious."

"No time for a wine tour of Europe?  Portello is Bend's next best thing.  Hungry? Fill up on Bruschetta, salads, and panini's, or grab a classic cheese plate to go with your wine!"

bendoregon365 review 2015
"In addition to their fantastic rotating wine selection, maybe it’s their comfortable couches 
or friendly servers that keep people coming back. They also have a nice space for outside 
dining. Their menu of appetizers, salads, soups, paninis, and delicious bruschetta is always 
good. Try their “Chocolate Tasting” or “Chocolate Souffle” for dessert!"

"all of the great deals on both food and drink were made better by the outstanding service 
provided at portello...the servers are quick to greet all customers, came with an offering of 
bright green castelvetrano olives to munch on while we perused the menu and answered all 
of my questions (which usually add up quickly)....I was impressed from start to finish"
