Portway Italian

Alion

The Portway is our most favourite restaurant. The staff, food and location is just perfect. The staff are great with kids and are really friendly. For a real homely, traditional Italian evening you cannot go wrong with The Portway - we love it.

We wished we hadn't of bothered! I booked what I thought was a romantic Italian meal for two but we got far from that at this restaurant. Firstly we booked a table for 8.30 and didn't get our starter until 9.30 and main course until 10! It was so packed there weren't even any seats at the bar for us to sit and relax until we did get our food! Staff seemed busy and the service wasn't what we expected. There is a very wide range of food on the menu but we chose this restaurant because we wanted Italian food and the food was not very Italian. Not a pizza or garlic bread in sight on the menu. Mainly steaks and chicken in different sauces. The only thing remotely Italian in this restaurant is the staff ! As for romantic it was like sitting in your living room packed with rowdy people! I would not recommend this restaurant!

Walking into the packed restaurant we were dubious that we would actually sit down on time - we were right! Our table was booked for 9, we sat down at 9.40 and got our starter at 10 - we actually left the restaurant at midnight! The service was good but you get the impression that the restaurant runs similar to a cheap airline - overbooking and hoping that not everyone turns up! That said, the food was delicious and the waiters were attentive. Well worth a visit if you're not in a hurry!

The food and service is always of an excellent quality always fresh fish and lots of specials to choose from - The best Calamari anywhere!
