Portabella Ristorante

Great local pizza spot- for a takeout pizza and salad, or for an Italian hoagie for lunch, but their entrees are surprisingly good as well. Friendly staff, a few good beers on tap as well. Highly recommended if you live nearby, as there are few options in the Varina area.I have used them for catering and they make some beautiful salad trays, which are perfect for office lunches when paired with a few pizzas.One recommendation: for takeout pizza, when you get it home, throw it in the oven at 400-450 degrees for a few minutes to crisp the crust up a bit more and it will be perfect!

We are here again. And got all the same as last time. I love the Italian sub. Had half left over as usual. I are the lettuce, tomato and onion off as if a salad. Since I think shredded lettuce doesn't keep well in the fridge. It goes limp. So it was like a side salad.

Don't know what happened... the last 3 times I've gone, the food had been blah or burned or just flat out made with a idgaf attitude. I ordered a pizza and a chick parm sub and the sandwich was a freaking joke, hard as a rock burned bread, 1 sliver of chicken and no sauce.... Straighten up Portabellas.

Inedible! The fried zucchini that was boxed came with a full tablespoon of oil as it was not strained properly or the oil in the frier wasn't hot enough. The pizza sauce tasted metallic like from a can. The only flavor profile was the cheese since it had twice the amount it needed. Toppings were placed under the thick blanket of cheese so we also got to enjoy nearly raw vegetables with our double cheese. Not to mention, paid extra for a Sicilian style pizza, but a round pizza was made in it's place.First and last time we will ever come here! No one in our household, even the teen could eat, out $60!

Food is okay. Nice wait staff. Salads are weird; they look like deli lunch meat cut up on iceberg lettuce. Pizzas are the best thing to order.

Unbelievable value and food for all the menu items. They have daily specials and you cannot find a better lunch special. Ask about half price entrees as they run these some evenings. I have tried many different menu items and I have never had a bad meal. Love the lunch specials as you get large portions for only $6.99. Highly recommended the steak and chicken hoagies and especially the Italian dressing. Great waitstaff and customer service. Such a clean restaurant.

Food is great & quick service! Daily specials make this place even greater!!!!!!!!!!

2/27/25- I did a takeout earlier this evening for a kids spaghetti with meat sauce. The lady that took my order, ask me if I wanted cheese on it and I said no. I live in North Carolina so I was on my way home. To my surprise when I got ready to eat it, it had cheese on it and I specifically said no cheese. You all have the best spaghetti in the Virginia area. I won't be back up that way until sometime Tuesday so I'm hoping that the management will make this right for me. I took a picture of it. I did scrape some of the cheese off of it. Please make it right for me. Thanks.

I ordered their cheese steak sub last night and it was soooo good!!! My order: Lettuce, tomato, mayo, ketchup, fried onions, banana peppers, and pickles-the best combination and the bread was perfect, slight crisp on the outside and soft on the inside!

Food was good. Delivery was left on the porch, did not ring the doorbell. Would like to order some time in the future.
