Restaurant Portofino Verden in Verden (Aller)

A perfect little trip to Italy, the food is remarkable! The ambiance is lovely and the aroma of delicious food is wonderful!

Modern restaurant with a pleasant atmosphere. The pasta with vegetables was very tasty.

It was our first time there, and we really enjoyed it!

Excellent service and delicious food as always! Thank you for years of top quality.

Very tasty pizza. My favorite is and will always be Pizza Pazza. The combination is simply delicious. Everything is a bit on the expensive side, but the quality is good. It's always busy, but there are plenty of seats, so you can easily drop in at short notice.

The food was incredibly delicious, very freshly prepared, and the portions were generous. The service was super nice, fast, and friendly. Unfortunately, this place doesn't come around that often anymore. There's a wide variety of food and drinks on the menu. We'd be happy to come back.

Nice staff :) Always happy to come back!

I ate there with my colleagues on Monday. When I entered the restaurant, it was really busy, and I was worried that we'd have to wait a long time for our food because it was already so late. That wasn't the case. The service was very attentive, and the food arrived in no time. Parking is a bit difficult.

Unfortunately, we can't give 0 stars for service. We had pizza, which could have been better, but it was okay. Then for dessert, ice cream with Rocher. I ordered raspberry, blueberry, and hazelnut. After a while, the waitress came and explained to me that they didn't have any Rocher, and asked if nuts were okay. I agreed. The ice cream arrived after a short wait; we'd already finished our espresso. I started eating the ice cream and took a bite of the cone, which was like rubber. As I continued eating my ice cream, I noticed that a scoop of ice cream was missing. In the end, they talked their way out of it and searched for explanations. They couldn't calculate the ice cream and gave me a free espresso, saying it was more than one scoop of ice cream. Okay... if you can afford that... fine. Unfortunately, we can't recommend the place either, unless you're in the mood for excuses from the waitress.

I've rarely experienced such poor service. We had to wait half an eternity for our food and actually had to ask if we'd been forgotten. No apology, no request for another drink. The rudeness was beyond compare. When the food finally arrived, it was good, but the service definitely didn't improve. I won't be seeing that place again anytime soon.

The restaurant is well located and well-frequented. It offers an extensive menu, efficient service, and friendly staff, even in confusing situations. Highly recommended.

Unfortunately, there was no food and we had to wait a while for the beer, even though it was hardly busy.

Superb ambiance with a wonderful summer terrace Very clean and inviting The staff is attentive and friendly – special requests are no problem. They are happy to offer advice The food is delicious! The pasta and pizza are a delight, and we recommend the focaccia as a starter (the best we've ever had). We'd be happy to come back anytime!

Yes, but for ice cream only cash payment, but that may have changed

The restaurant is highly recommended 👍

Everything was very tasty, thank you

We drove a good 70 km yesterday to eat there because it's supposed to be really good. Because of all the construction, we arrived a good 15 minutes before the kitchen break. Nevertheless, we were sent away. Despite explaining the long journey, there wasn't even an attempt to find a solution. According to the internet, the kitchen doesn't have a break on Sundays - just once and never again!

There were seven of us there and we felt very comfortable. The food was plentiful and really good.

It used to be one of my absolute favorite restaurants – we went here regularly, often several times a month. The quality of the food was excellent, the value for money was good, and the atmosphere was lively. It's all the more sad what it's become. On my last visit, hardly anything was the same: The food has significantly declined in quality, the selection seems altered and less appealing, and unfortunately, the taste is no longer what it used to be. The ice cream at the end was particularly disappointing – artificially sweet, lacking any authentic flavor. The prices are now very high. That alone wouldn't be the problem – good quality can come at a price. But the value for money is simply no longer there. Added to that was the unfriendly service at the bar, which was slow to arrive – and this was when the restaurant was almost empty on a warm Friday evening. It used to be hard to get a seat here at times like these. I don't know if the owner or the kitchen team has changed, but something is clearly going wrong here. It's a real shame for a restaurant that once had so much charm and quality.

Prices have risen dramatically. Unfortunately, the value for money is no longer good.

Very tasty breakfast buffet. Nice atmosphere. Friendly staff. We were very satisfied.

We were thrilled with the service, the food, and the friendliness. When we're back in Verden, we'll definitely enjoy delicious pizza and pasta there again. 5 well-deserved stars

The Portofino is very well organized. Planning a Christmas party? No problem! Large groups? No problem either! Buffet? Delicious! Our requests were met very well. Many thanks to the Portofino team! I'd love to plan with you again 😊👍

Delicious Italian cuisine and friendly service.

I was there in May at the invitation of a friend and sat on a covered terrace. After a long wait, I had to go inside and ask to order. Interestingly, we had to stop the waiter from clearing our plates twice, even though we weren't finished eating. The third time, we let them clear our plates because we just wanted to leave anyway. The food was pretty mediocre.

Das Essen hat uns noch nie enttäuscht ! Die Bedienung war immer Freundlich Und das Ambiete sieht auch gut aus, es ist immer sauber und gepflegt.

It's truly the best hazelnut ice cream I've had in a while.

Bad food, served lukewarm and in no way in keeping with good Italian cuisine.

The Portofino is a great restaurant, and the food and drinks are excellent. The only thing that bothered me was the €4.60 price tag for a latte micciato.

Baguette unfortunately very dry

The food was good, the service was okay, the prices were miserable. No longer recommended since the new menu. Too bad.

Super good food and very nice restaurant. Nice service. We really enjoy coming here

There wasn't much going on when we visited. Unfortunately pizza wasn't available until 5 p.m. So we had dessert in the form of ice cream and tiramisu. We will come back for the pizzas. The ice cream and tiramisu were tasty, but average. My partner made a faux pas with the tiramisu and it was replaced without any problems.

Best Italian restaurant in the area. With a wide selection of appetizers, pizzas, pastas and drinks. With top quality and large portions. I can only recommend it again and again. Even if you prefer something sweet, this is the right place for you. At lunchtime there is a large selection of different types of ice cream, sundaes and other desserts.

Just the right place to celebrate it 25th anniversary. Reasonable prices, Great food, friendly service, incredible flexibility. The place is located centrally, lots of sitting place in and outside

Rarely have I had such a delicious pizza!

Tuna fillet probably had to be bought from Edeka first, first it took forever for it to arrive (the pizzas had long since been ready), then it was still frozen inside 🙁. They then brought it back into the kitchen and continued cooking it, but it still wasn't tasty. In addition, dirty tablecloths and toilets, a wobbling table... as a consolation there was a scoop of ice cream on the house... we won't eat there anymore!

Great and really nice staff, you can eat and drink comfortably without looking at the clock. I had a good latte caramel... for the 2nd time and not the last time when visiting Verden!! Thank you very much😊

The breakfast buffet was good and tasty

Absolutely recommended. Everything was right there.

My family celebrated my mother's birthday here. It was very nice and delicious! Extremely family-friendly restaurant, gladly again!

Nach vielen Jahren waren wir wieder einmal im Portofino. Viel hat sich verändert. Nicht nur die Räumlichkeiten haben sich verändert. Auch die Speisekarte. Die Gerichte sahen nicht nur sehr ansprechend aus, es schmeckte auch sehr gut

Great atmosphere, very good and fast service. The food was very tasty. All in all, perfect, we'll definitely be back!

Highly recommended. The food is very tasty, the selection is varied and the service is very friendly. The prices are appropriate for the good quality of the food.

Smartly furnished, no need to reserve a table for lunch. Staff friendly. Rooms rather fresh to drafty. Waiting time reasonable. Food good.

There was a bit too much salt on one meal, otherwise the food was good. The restaurant was poorly heated.

Very nicely furnished, friendly staff, worth a visit even with children.

An Italian as you would expect.

Went to the breakfast buffet today and everything was beautifully presented and delicious. However, I have 2 small points of criticism 1. With such a great buffet, I would have expected fresh rolls and no baked goods 2. the Nutella that was filled was so hard that you couldn't spread it. Everything else was great.

The food and service are simply top. Unfortunately, the structure of the room makes it very loud, which makes it difficult to have a conversation at normal volume. The decoration is very attractive.

Very good ice coffee to eat cake with the family 😋🤗

Pizza and pasta sensational. There's plenty of food on the plate for the price. Finally a calzone without peppers, ☺️. Both thumbs up

Our favorite restaurant in Verden! Super delicious food, pleasant atmosphere and great service!

Hmm, the service is friendly, but somehow slow and the other service (a gentleman) is inattentive. There were only three tables occupied and my neighboring table had to draw attention to itself four times... until someone reacted. I would have expected my pizza ingredients to be completely spread out on the pizza, and not thrown on top so carelessly. At 17 € and a few cents. The cutlery had water stains and either the knife was blunt or the dough was tough.

Typical Italian food, very tasty, very friendly staff!

Hello dear ones. The tiramisu you served was dried out. Unfortunately the taste is sad. Even the mediocre coffee and the thick layer of cocoa didn't help save the dessert. I find on-site feedback incredibly important. This is the only way to respond to your guests. Apparently you also have a concern, otherwise you wouldn't ask for reviews on the place cards in exchange for vouchers. So we gave the food back. Everything was said to be as usual. Too bad. We won't be coming back.

It's always very tasty. Good service

We had pizza and tortellini, both were ok, although at 16.90 for a pizza it wasn't exactly cheap. The parking situation in Verden city center is, however, very modest, but the restaurant can be easily reached on foot from the free parking garage on the Aller. The service was friendly and prompt and the atmosphere was quite modern and appealing.

Great ambience, nice staff, always delicious

We were here for the second time today, it was very good again. It is further recommended.

How cool, coincidentally, homemade gluten-free pizza base is available here today. And I was the first guest to order it. The pizza was really tasty, please be sure to mention it on the menu and website so people know. And....definitely keep it 🙂. I'm so happy, I can finally eat pizza in the restaurant again.

Totally great ambience, super delicious food for such a critical person like me and the service was simply bomb

Very good atmosphere, delicious food, pleasant service😊

Very nice restaurant with an outdoor terrace in summer, large selection and good service

The restaurant, located in the center of Verden, is very tastefully and really beautifully decorated, which almost invites you to linger. The service is as warm as it is professional and competent. The kitchen is absolutely recommended. I chose the shrimp pan (with fresh mushrooms) as a starter and the pork fillet with Gorgonzola sauce as the main course. My request to change the side dish - I preferred pasta - was met with a friendly smile. To put it simply, the restaurant is fully recommended.

Were invited here by friends. Food is very good and plentiful. We were very satisfied and will definitely come back again.

Spent a very nice evening here with friends with delicious food.

I came here with my family for dinner and really enjoyed it. The staff is friendly and welcoming. One thing I didn’t like was that it was very cramped, you sat and talked and there wasn’t even a meter of distance from the next table. The pizza is very tasty.

I celebrated my birthday at Portofino with 16 people and it was really nice. The food was very tasty and the service was friendly, not intrusive but always available. Many thanks to the whole team! I would happily recommend it.

We ordered catering for our wedding from Portofino and are completely happy. Super flexible, super sweet and delicious food. Thank you very much!

The E The and the service are very good. We like coming there because we know that we will be well served there😄

Delicious pizza and pasta in a cozy atmosphere. We had 2x pasta (275+284), which tasted very well seasoned. The pizza (270), on the other hand, hardly at all - despite the pesto. It was a shame that the pizza cutlery was just normal cutlery and it was difficult to cut it into bite-sized pieces. Therefore 1 star deduction for each. Drinks cooled with crushed ICE are great, so you have more drink than ice in the glass! We'll definitely come back and try the ice cream and tiramisu.😉

Service, food, ambience was excellent.

Meal menu greeting. (Small sticker) We charge an extra 1.5% for EC or credit card payments! We went and by the way it's been banned since January 2018.

The pizza was okay, the service and the ambience were A1,

My wife and I were on a short vacation in Verden for a few days. We “came across” this restaurant while strolling in the evening. A first quick glance showed us an ice cream parlor, then we went in and were immediately spoken to in a friendly manner. A great restaurant with good food and nice staff. Went back the next day...were greeted and recognized. The food was great again, and so were the employees. Unfortunately, when paying the bill with a card, an additional charge was due without being pointed out. I asked because the final total seemed a bit “odd” to me and was then given this information. Paying a bill with a normal card, i.e. not a credit card, is actually normal. I have never paid extra for it in any restaurant. Even if it is only a small amount, it should be mentioned...or. this is not justified.

The pizza and the pasta were delicious. Unfortunately, the knives are not suitable for cutting pizza. Payment with EC or Visa costs the valued guest 1.5% of the invoice price. That really doesn't fit into today's times.

Penne arrabiata worthy of the name.

Very nice atmosphere, large selection of dishes, very tasty food and friendly service. We'll definitely be back!

Were served in a friendly and very competent manner. We'd love to come back. The food was very good 👍.

Delicious food in a central location right in the city center. The seating area outside is particularly nice and invites you to linger. A good choice if you want to eat in the city.

The pasta was great, the service was mediocre at best.

The food was okay, but the wine was served in martini glasses. When prices have risen significantly, charging an additional 1.5% for card payments is outrageous.

Ich wurde sehr gut bewertet Spaghetti mit Lachs und Parmesan waren sehr lecker. Bei schönem Wetter schmecke auch der trockene Rotwein gut.

The variations of the pizzas are wonderful, but the pizza arrived almost cold. Probably a lack of communication between kitchen and service or problems in the kitchen. But then I would have liked a hint from the waiter. Taste ok but not more. Service seemed rather annoyed, apart from a young waiter who seemed very committed but somehow left alone. That's why we didn't say anything about the temperature of the food. Last summer the quality and price-performance were significantly better. Of course you have to charge these prices to cover the costs, but then the quality and service should simply match it.

Great food. Staff is not very attentive. It takes a long time to pay. The decor is boring

I ordered the plaice fillet from the lunch menu. Another fish came, I complained about that. No action from the waitress. I was so looking forward to a plaice fillet. Will I go again???

I personally find there is no soap in the toilet and paper is bad And the waiter stresses you out to order

As always, the food was delicious, but the prices for the drinks are really a disgrace! I was there last time.

We actually always enjoyed eating there, but after the last time, never again. Two dishes, three drinks €80??? An Ipanema for €10.50, more crushed ice than drink. Come back to reality people. ...... Lg Anja Borchers

Very good and very reasonable prices

Delicious food, attentive service, nice seating on the back terrace

Very nice and attentive staff, we were there with 3 wheelchair users and it was no problem at all to sit inside. Ramp was offered by the staff and you absolutely didn't feel like you were causing any trouble.

Delicious food in a relaxed atmosphere on the main street of Verden. recommended

Tasty, fast, wonderful service. Nice atmosphere. Thank you.

I can highly recommend the stuffed chicken fillet.

Very nice staff, delicious food. We had lasagne and Italian burgers. Highly Recommended.

Incredibly friendly service, you really feel welcome! The food is absolutely authentic and really tasty. And the prices are fair and reasonable. Our absolute favorite restaurant!

Machine-rolled, over-salted pizza dough. Mixed salad with canned corn. Lasagna with ham without any indication on the menu.

Hello, I ordered 42 euros and paid 84, they cheated me. Disgraceful, they don't want to give my money back 😡😡
