Portofino in Insel Poel

Portofino in Timmendorf has been one of our most popular restaurants on the island of Poel for years. We love the store 🥰…. The location is inviting, the service is friendly and funny. The food is always delicious and to our complete satisfaction. Dogs are also welcome at Portofino. Christian and Simone & Pino 🐶 P.S. We know firsthand that it is not true that Portofino will only be an ice cream parlor from next year. The restaurant business with pizza, salads and bruscetta remains; but without pasta and meat; From next season you will find these in the Vellas at the port of Timmendorf.

Delicious food, friendly service and fair prices. 👍

It was very tasty 😋 and nice service

Italian cuisine is an insider tip, but unfortunately only this year, as next year there will only be ice cream. It's a shame, because the food was very good. Spatially, something could be improved. The service was very friendly and accommodating. Next year unfortunately only ice cream, it also tastes very good, but the pasta...🍝😋

The pizza came pretty quickly (about a 10 minute wait), nice place in the sun 🌞 Ideal for a quick snack 👍

Great service. I picked up pizza and waited for it and was able to enjoy the time with a beer. Spontaneous

Delicious pizza 🍕 Good ice cream 🍨 a little too expensive

Delicious pizza and ice cream sundaes...

We decided to have dinner there. And were warmly welcomed. Staff was friendly, courteous, helpful. The menu was clear and well sorted. Food was great and was delicious. What wasn't so good is the men's toilet area, there was a broken vase with flowers on the shelf, holes and the walls (old drill holes) in general I'm sure the condition could be better👍🏻 all in all we were very satisfied, please keep it up☺️

We only ate ice cream in a cone. We found all 3 varieties to be very tasty. The service was extremely friendly. Grazie Mille!

Fresh seafood? 10 percent, the rest was surimi, not real seafood. The portion was small and tasteless. My husband's beef tenderloin was gristly and salty. But nobody is interested there either, the tourists are processed like they are on a conveyor belt. Definitely not recommended.

"Mini" Pizza Diavolo for 14.90 - underbaked and 2 slices of salami, "pizza rolls" - 4 teaspoon-sized mini flatbreads - the absolute impudence is the tiramisu - a mini cake with a dollop of cream - what's that? This restaurant has gone from top to absolute debacle in recent years.

Today we asked whether we could eat here with our dog this evening and spontaneously decided to have 2 limonchello cups on the terrace. Unfortunately, after eating the delicious Eisnecher, it was not possible to pay the €14.60 with an EC card. To do this I actually had to go to two EC card machines in town because the first machine was out of service. Result: 1. The waiter did not receive a tip. 2. Dinner will not take place at Portofino. ???? Where exactly is the purpose of the boss who ordered this according to the waiter's statement?????

Delicious pizza. Cross and juicy

I had dinner there today with my wife, we had beef carpaccio with rocket and parmesan as a starter, and a frutti di mare for the main course, the waitresses were all very nice and in the mood to joke, very pleasant! We were warmly welcomed, the orders were taken quickly and the food, both starter and main course, arrived quickly. It took a while to get the bill, but "Hey, I'm on vacation, you have time." The food was delicious, we would love to come here again.

Great Italian restaurant, ice cream very tasty, food very tasty, service first class, rarely eaten so well!!! Highly recommended 👍👍👍

Good food and friendly service.

Very, very tasty ice cream and friendly staff. We'd love to come back

Very friendly and helpful service. The food came very quickly and was good.

Incredibly delicious food and service. The ice cream is also excellent

Burnt pizza. Overcooked pasta. Terrible hood 🤢 the worst of my life. Let's forget about the service.... Guys, catering is important! It's because of this local guy that people no longer go out to eat. Wakes up!!!!!!

Nice Italian with delicious food and ice cream, we were there several times.

Ice cream very tasty! 👍 We also liked the pasta and pizza, but we deducted one star for that. We had everything to take away, so we can't judge the inside of the restaurant; unfortunately it didn't look so lovingly decorated from the outside.

The food is nothing special, but the prices are touristy. The staff is unfriendly. During three visits over three years, our order was forgotten once (even though it was paid), was burned once and this year it wasn't even taken because people who were there after us were given priority. The Fischbaud is better.

Waiting for over an hour to then eat cold pizza that was way too expensive. Doesn't bother at all Unfriendly service

Very tasty and the staff is friendly and helpful. Great, keep it up.

I ordered 4 pizzas to pick up. I know from other pizzerias that you are offered a grappa while you wait and are not rudely sent outside to wait. The size of the pizzas was a joke, even my children were still hungry afterwards. One pizza was almost burnt. And the quality wasn't good for a pizza from an Italian restaurant, I'm used to something different. Sorry, but not recommended.

Overall ok, not a bad restaurant. In terms of ambience it could be better, you sit outside close together and rather dark, between yapping dogs and smoking guests, a bit like being in a train station. Good for dog owners and smokers, but not for the majority of guests in my opinion. Dealing with a hair found in the food should have been more professional. The pizzas were extremely tasty, but topped sparingly.

World's best pizza and the world's best ice cream!! We are thrilled :)

We had takeaway pizzas and ate on the beach. Pizza tasted good, but was very small and had a thick crust, so even children weren't full after eating a whole pizza. The sizes of the pizzas were also different and one was in the oven a little too long. Price-performance definitely doesn't fit, you're paying primarily for the proximity to the beach.

Although it is always busy in high season, the service is always friendly. The food and the ice cream are simply delicious and the price is simply great

We were there with 4 children. The people were very nice, even though it was full, they accommodated our every request and tried to serve us quickly. The food was very tasty and the price was completely okay.

Went there for dinner a few times. The restaurant is busy in the evenings and many people also order take-away. The two of us with a dog had no problems getting a place. The food is delicious, the service is friendly. The portion sizes are good. A tiny point of criticism, unfortunately our food didn't come to the table at the same time on our last visit. That can happen and it wasn't the case with the other tables. We'd love to come back.

We were there three times in total. The ice cream is delicious, but was comparatively very expensive (€1.80 per scoop, we only paid €1.50 everywhere else). You should definitely change the ice cream labels. They looked very worn and are not very inviting. We ordered the pizzas to go and they were ready on time. However, the price is also very high here, but the taste was still ok. I would warmly recommend that the owners put more love into the property. You won't find any ambience here and there's still a lot of room for improvement when it comes to hygiene.

My ice cream cafe didn't have any ice cream, just cream and jelly that tasted like stale coffee grounds water 🤢If you can't do it, you shouldn't offer it! My daughter's spaghetti ice cream was OK. That's why just 2*

We were there on a busy day. We got a table straight away and were served very nicely and quickly. We then had to wait about 30 minutes for the food. It tasted good. What we have to rate as negative is the cutlery. It was dull and cutting a pizza like that was almost impossible. Maybe you should add a pair of scissors. This is super quick.

You can't give this place a star, I've never had such a bad meal at an Italian restaurant. Pizza cold, garlic bread burnt and hard, gnocci soggy. And the ice cream seller wasn't in the mood for customers. Not recommended.

Had dinner there today as a family with 2 adults and 2 children. The waiters were super nice, drinks came promptly and the food was simply a dream. We'd love to come back. ☺️

We were there for the farewell dinner on August 8, 2024 and had a very good meal, pizza ok, pike perch fillet good, tiramisu unfortunately was out (a shame), but the raspberry sundae with hot or warm raspberries was the crowning glory that evening. The service was attentive and friendly despite the high season. All in all, a good price-performance ratio under today's conditions.

Today we ordered 5 pizzas and bruschetta to go. We were supposed to come back in an hour, which was very sporty, but what was then presented to us was a disgrace Pizza consisted of dough and little toppings, everything was carelessly thrown onto the pizza and the toppings were also laughable. We've never had such a bad bruschetta either. Never this store again for us.

Once and never again. We often bought our daughter ice cream, which is fine. I found the visit to the restaurant itself rather unpleasant. We had a very pushy waiter. There were just 3 small slices on the salami pizza I ordered. In my opinion the whole thing had nothing to do with pepperoni pizza. Burnt edge. During our stay, an Italian compatriot loudly asked the manager whether he had treated himself to his Ferrari yet, so of course we had to save on the salami. Purely a tourist place, not for locals.

If you have children, you shouldn't eat here. The owner thinks he has to complain to children, even though they were just playing in a normal way while waiting for the food. Absolutely disrespectful. Actually strange, as the size of the pizza is more like a child's portion.

Our favorite Italian for years! We've probably already tasted our way through the entire menu. ;-) The ice cream is homemade and super delicious. Sometimes you have to wait quite a long time for the pizza. Especially when there is a lot going on. You can tell from the waitresses that they are uncomfortable keeping their guests waiting. I have no problem waiting. I'm on vacation after all... So far I've only ever had very good food. The staff is friendly and humorous. Unfortunately, I also get very stressed every now and then. All in all, I can recommend the Portofino. We'll definitely be back on our next vacation.

Atmospheric place, very polite service

I had the misfortune of visiting this pizzeria and it was a complete disappointment. The pizza was not only dry, but also slightly burnt around the edges. The wait was unbearably long, especially when I requested the bill. The atmosphere in the restaurant was so unpleasant that I was only happy when I was finally outside again. To make matters worse, I also had an upset stomach the next day. I definitely don't recommend this place.

Edit: A day later we had stomach problems which can be traced back to the visit!!! Pizza was very dry to my taste. The pizza was also a bit burnt, but that was limited. The ambience wasn't my thing, it was way too loud and very cramped inside, I can't say anything about the outside. The service was friendly, but ignored the fact that we wanted to pay and made us wait another 15 minutes. All in all it was okay but not necessarily worth a second visit. Since this is my opinion and impression, I ask you to respect that it can of course be an individual and better experience for everyone.

Everything seemed very chaotic and confused in the Portofino. The employees were stressed, but quite nice. We ate the pizza prosciutto and spaghetti alla siciliana. Unfortunately, the ham on the pizza wasn't enough for our taste, but we can highly recommend the spaghetti with pesto, goat cheese and lamb fillet tips. However, we had to wait almost an hour for our food.

The pizza is delicious. The waiters are all friendly and quick. Unfortunately, the cola was more like water. The ice cream is super tasty. So overall, highly recommended

Waited 4 hours for food and it was cold. Never again.

We had dinner as a family with two children. Table was available immediately inside. Service was nice but stressful. Food and drinks arrived quickly. The taste was ok, but not appropriate for the price. Something Italian is missing here. Value for money not given.

Food was delicious. Price-performance ratio is good and the staff is very friendly.

Very nice restaurant with nice staff. Food tastes great, whether it's ice cream or something savory, in this case pizza.

Service was good. Unfortunately not really eating. Pizza totally greasy, not well topped, fries not really crunchy and schnitzel from the frozen food... it's a shame...

Unfortunately, the pizza didn't have enough toppings and the ice cream tasted very artificial Too bad

Neither the pizza nor the ice cream tasted good. The pizza has fewer toppings than a store-bought frozen product. My Hawaiian had a slice of ham and 5 pieces of pineapple

Disappointed! Price/performance ratio from the starter was bad, expected more for the money. The main course was also rather satisfying. We don't go there anymore.

Real Italian ice cream! Delicious. 🧁👍😋

We ordered 5 pizzas to take away on site. It was said that it would take about 15 minutes, but then it was 40 minutes, okay. the restaurant was very busy. In our opinion, the quality of the pizzas was poor, too little toppings, cut into quarters and cut into quarters. Another tip, get the bill.

The Pinot Grigio is fantastic. We need a photo of the bottle 😂

Absolute recommendation! Short waiting times when at full capacity. Delicious food and typical Italian hospitality round off your holiday here. Thank you!

Very nice service, delicious food

We were with you again and after all these years we have to say... Quality is excellent, staff is outstanding and the boss even lends a hand himself 👍 We are always happy to come to you again 🫶🏻 Annetta, Giulietta, Anton, Peter, Sybille and Thomas

Here you can buy delicious ice cream in a waffle. I've never had eggnog ice cream either. Tastes good 😋 Gladly again.

Due to the many negative recessions, we were positively surprised. The food was absolutely fine. Children's food is solid, pizzas are not earth-shattering, but I have eaten many that were much worse. The ice cream was very good. Service friendly and accommodating.

Very tasty food and super nice service. Thank you very much and see you soon

Very friendly and attentive staff. The pizza and pasta were really tasty and the value for money was good too.

Went there with 6 people, ate 5x pizza 🍕 1x beef fillet steak medium, everything from the finest, very very tasty! Always happy

Very nice service and super tasty pizza and ice cream at fair prices.

Eat little for a lot of money. Ate there with several people on site. I had a noodle dish with beef. I usually don't eat very much and therefore attach more importance to the quality, The meat tasted good, but for 17€ it was really very little, the dish was advertised as spicy and pepperoni, it tasted more like a normal tomato sauce without any spiciness, unfortunately... And the amount of pasta was very manageable, so I was still hungry afterwards. Someone else at our table had a turkey dish and was very surprised by the quantity, it was more like a starter for the price of a main course. So all in all very manageable portions for a lot of money. Oh yes, and many drinks are only 0.3L on the menu, but are then served as 0.5L drinks without asking and are of course charged that way. So all in all, once and never again.

Nice and quick service. FOOD very tasty... Ambience very cozy. Anytime again.

Ambience good Spaghetti lukewarm I don't have to have it again

The service and the entire house are very friendly and welcoming. Customer requests are happy to be fulfilled here. The food is very tasty and freshly prepared with a lot of love. And both the wine and the dessert were always a pleasure. We love coming here again and again and can happily recommend it to anyone. It's great that something like this still exists. Thanks so much.

I ordered a waffle, when the waffle arrived it was very small, hard and not fresh at all. But there was also cream, sauce and strawberries on it. When I was finished I took a quick look in the kitchen and didn't see a waffle iron or a crepe maker, even though both were offered on the menu. So it was just something that was bought ready-made.

Wasn't the burner here, the worst bruchetta for a long time, pizza ok, dead flies on the windowsill could be removed, it's just designed for tourists. I think you might say that others come every day, we wouldn't eat there again go

A bit expensive for the quantity, but overall recommended. Ice cream, milkshake and espresso, coffee with milk were very tasty.

We were there for the first time today as part of our vacation. Tables outside are relatively simple and careless, no decorations or blankets, nothing. Waiters relatively taciturn. Prices relatively normal. There was only BIT on tap, unfortunately too expensive. The rocket salad we ordered was terrible, lettuce leaves were wilted, and the portion was small for €10. Canneloni were ok. Overall a mediocre restaurant

We ate there for the second time and, just like the first time, it tasted delicious. The service is always attentive and very friendly. We would like to come again. Clear recommendation from us. P.S.: The ice cream is a dream 🌞😋

No card payment possible. Not up to date anymore!

Food is ok. Waiters are hectic. No nice atmosphere. Toilets are a shame.

Fabrizio photographer great photos

Cappuccino?! Rather hot milk with brown water. I've never had a cappuccino like this before. Especially not at the Italian restaurant. Is the coffee machine broken?! And card payments from €20?!? How long ago did you stop here?!

Very nice little restaurant, clean, delicious ice cream. Very pet-friendly, Luca, an employee, immediately brought water for our dog. I would highly recommend it.

Very nice Italian restaurant. Clean and orderly. Delicious food and drinks. See you again soon!

Fast service, friendly staff, good food

There were six of us and we ate there twice. It was very nice, especially very good food. We had pizza and pasta, both tasty and of good quality. The appetizer platter was also very good. The boss put it together for us. We were well served by the boss and the extremely nice waiter. It was a fun atmosphere. We liked it. We recommend it with a clear conscience. I only give 3 stars for the ambience because it was too cold in the restaurant.

Very nice and personable! Good food and a feel-good atmosphere.

the people are always friendly and the food is great, especially the tiramisu from Fabricio

Tasty, quick and attentive!! Pizza excellent, beer good too!! Just been back!!! A very good salmon fillet and an even better tiramisu!!!!!

If you want good food you should come here, good service, great food, well-kept restaurant. Always my pleasure! Thank you ❗

We just stopped by to pick up a scoop of ice cream for the beach walk and were very satisfied with both the taste of the ice cream and the authentic Italian condition. P.s For those who want to try it the Italian way... "Voglio una pallina di gelato, per favore."

The waiter Luca is always the friendliest and most professional of all!!!! Attentive and kind in service! Delicious pizza!!!! The boy in the ice cream window is always very kind and smiling, congratulations, I really recommend him to everyone!!!!!

Luca is waiter number 1...!!!! Never seen something like this!!! Kindness, courtesy and speed!!! Congratulations Luca!!!

Very polite and courteous service…Luca is the best☀️🤩!

The staff was friendly, the atmosphere in the restaurant was cozy and the food was very good.

The food was excellent and the service too. Kind regards Jägermeister

Hello...I was at Portofino yesterday with my colleagues...I had a pasta dish with scampi. My colleagues had pizza and calzone...we all really enjoyed it!! Very nice service and a must is the lemon schnapps 😄😄

We were able to sit outside in the nice weather. There were still blankets in case it was too cold The food was great! Really highly recommended.

Very good food and the staff were very friendly and always had a good saying.

Best homemade ice cream on the Baltic Sea.

Very nice restaurant with delicious food. Everything was fine. Very nice service.
