Portorosa Restaurant Pizzeria Review

A very Freo experience.
Can recommend the occy - was perfectly cooked, so tender.

delicious meal, lovely atmosphere.
Food definitely brought back memories of Italy.
hidden gem.

Average food, small portions and not the best value.

Very reasonably priced and full meals are very filling.

The Portorosa has terrific tasting food, with good portion sizing and I would give this restaurant a 5 star review, if it was just for the food alone.
When dining in a restaurant and ordering entrees, I don't expect them to arrive after 2 of the main meals arriving and further to that I'm also not keen on the 5 remaining meals arriving 9 - 10 minutes after the 1st two meals.
I ordered drinks at the time of ordering the meal and they arrived in a timely manner, though I would of liked another round of drinks, unfortunately I wasn't able to attract the attention of the Staff and no Staff returned to see if our table would like more drinks (the empty glasses would have been a give away, for most restaurant Staff) - so the service would be 3/5 in my view.
I will definitely return for another meal, as the food is great, I will just hope that the meal experience has improved by next time.

I found myself freementle by chance and ate in this restaurant, the atmosphere a bit cold but the dishes of chef Vittorio made up for all the other shortcomings. Thanks chef

We had seen the good reviews so we gave it a go,the staff were nice but the food was not very nice.
My meat lovers pizza was very soggy and undercooked,spaghetti seafood dish was not flash and the garlic bread was very oily and average tasting as well,my wifes veal dish had nice veal but very average veggies and mash.
It was my wifes birthday so it was very disappointing,we wont be back.
Cant believe people rave about this place,you should go over the road to pizza bella roma,food is a lot nicer,been going there for over 10 years,awesome place.

Waste of money, so expensive for low quality pizzas!!

3.5 stars. We've actually come here more than once, because it's open a bit later than the other restaurants in the area, has a big menu, service is decent, the food is fine. A bit on the expensive side for pasta, but all the other Italian places in the area are the same price anyway. This time around I was a bit dissapointed though. Our entrees were delicious (arancini balls and sardine/octopus plate), my pasta (crab linguine) was fine albeit nothing special, although my partner ordered the Filetto Pepe rib-eye with green peppercorn and brandy sauce for $39.50, which was a let-down for the price. I've posted photos of each meal and the final receipt, so you can judge for yourself rather than trusting me. The steak meal came with mashed potato and unseasoned plain steamed vegetables, pretty much what you make for yourself in the microwave from those single-serve vegetable pouches. Not what you expect from the most expensive dish listed on an Italian restaurant's menu. I also ordered a cocktail drink (Portorosa Sunset for $15) which was a really tiny mini glass of what I think was juice with some sparkling wine, not worth the price.

Scotch fillet was very tender and the mushroom sauce blended well with the tenderness of the meat. Sensational in the taste buds.

They take soo long to make the food but overall the food is pretty good and worth the wait.

wow this is just like being in Italy
Amazing food, hospitality plus
thanks to the chefs, Anthony, Vanessa
& Joe definitely be back

Extremely good food, and good size portitions. didnt have to wait long for food just had to wait a while for them to take our order

Amazing staff well priced wine dog friendly Thank you it was a beautiful birthday

My dinner with my husband and daughter was fantastic. we order, special menu scallopine marsala and served with hot mash potato very fantastic, my husband really like mash potato. till he ordered one more portion. my daughter really liked pizza meat lover. and I was order fish involtini very good taste, and salad was amazing with orange.
i will come back, try with other menu.

Everything is too salty and rich in tomato, the wait was not worth it. Staff not even ask how was our experience.

Traditional Italian Restaurant. Wood fire pizza is great here. Must try. Never found such best taste.

Shall come back with my whole family.

Horrible service - waited 10mins just to get some water to our table, 20mins for the drinks we ordered, not to mention waiting 45mins between our entree and main meals.
Everyone around us had dramas; wrong meals, stuff up s in the kitchens, people waiting up to 15mins just to order drinks when they first arrive. No stuff organisation - we were served by 4 different stuff members.
Food was reasonable but the very poor service outweighed it.

My favourite Italian in Fremantle. Pizza is always perfect & muscle in white wine is what dreams are made of. I have tried most items on the menu. Meal sizes are on the large end, so bring your appetite.

Great food in a lovely location! Very good range, quality. Service needed a bit of more work, but I guess it depends who is serving you. The other waitresses seemed very friendly and helpful! Love to hear some Italian in the air

The food was impeccable and beautiful. Mrs has pork belly salad with scallops with relish, apple almonds, and fennel which was delightful on the tastebuds. Everything married together perfectly.
I had the portorosso barramundi cooked in champagne.
Expresso martinis were perfect and everything id expect.
Pricey but the food is definitely worth every cent.

This is the best restaurant in Fremantle. The food and staff are all top shelf. Couldn't fault it.

Excelent service friendly staff always great us like family

We went here for dinner last night and the meal was lovely. Funnily enough, the bruschetta was the stand out for us!

Impressive grilled seafood platter excellent value!

Food was OK, nothing which really stood out or made you go.. Wow!

Customer service was friendly and attentive.

Great family friendly restaurant, great service and great Italian cooking. Reasonably priced. Love the house wines and pizza's fully recommended.

Really good food, meals beautifully presented, kind and polite staff.

Their woodfired oven pizza was quite good, even if we are miles and miles away from Italy.
Excellent service too. Thumbs up!

First time I have ever written a review. Ever. I haven t cooked a home cooked meal in about 5 year also.
No food speacialist but yet this place nailed it. Every bit of pasta tasted liked everything they cooked it with and I ve never had anything close to that before.
Just my review, but well worth it!!!! I swear

Cold beer to go with the great pizza. Loads of options, very friendly staff

Great food a friendly staff. Pizza was stone baked and extremely tasty. Pasta was fresh. A nice little spot for a romantic dinner with the missus.

Great place. Great staff. Superb food. Can't wait to go back!

Not the cooks fault. You just know when they are using the cheapest ingredients possible.

Really really really bad experience at this place , the food is really salty and oily my tummy feel bad after eating here cause the food is very oily .

Overly expensive. The food is good but there isn't enough - especially for the price you are paying.

Friendly and personal service, lovely atmosphere and authentic Italian food.

The wood-fired pizzas are so good, highly recommend!

Amazing Food, great staff. One.of Fremantle best restaurants.

Fantastic service and great quality fresh food. Was very impressed with the pizza and pasta my partner and I shared. Highly recommend the chicken and bacon pasta. Family friendly relaxed atmosphere.

Good pizza, lovely place to sit and watch the world go by..

Friendly staff, prompt service and delivery of food.

I found myself eating in this place and each course I chose on the menu enhanced my taste buds ... I thank chef Vittorio who was able to explain each course to you in detail

Craving for going out for since the lockdown, the service was slow as the waiter was only a few meters from us, yet we have to wave to get attention for service. Out come the garlic bread but no taste of garlic , dinner was ok.

Dessert was really good
Friendly staff

Great customer service, great food. Good all around experience.

We had a delightful lunch. My husband had grilled octopus ( a special). It was tender and delicious. I had eggplant parmigiana and it was also outstanding. We sat outside in a relaxed atmosphere.

Visit in the early March. The homemade pasta was good! Nice service.

Great tagliatelle al gamberi and T&J's special pizza

I've been sitting in Fremantle and wanted to try something different. I had a craving for pasta and seafood and something on the menu stood out. I wasn't sure what to order and checked with the staff and they immediately recommended the pasta dish and I was left with taste buds swimming in paradise. The stuffed mushrooms were absolutely delicious as well. Staff were amazing and friendly. Definitely worth visiting and exploring the magic of their food.

Fab food. Great atmosphere and really good value. Thx so much

Great service and delicious food, staff accommodated our menu tweaks with a smile. Definitely recommend.

Shocking service! I dined there tonight with my 2 children. We had to ask again for drinks. Again as to where our entree (which was garlic bread and olives) was. Finally we had to again chase up our mains. No apologie as we watched diners come and go around us.

The new restaurant is really nice. The new menu is excellent and the staff are really great. Checking that everything is well. Definitely well worth the visit

Lovely Italian restaurant with an authentic look and feel situated in bustling part of Fremantle but off the main road so you avoid some of the noise and crowd. Greay tasting food and good proportions.

Delightful restaurant with very happy and friendly staff. Beautiful food. X lynz. U.K

The food is amazing especially the tortelloni..thanks to the Chef Vittorio!!!

Anti pasta dish was great , and pizza was great not to pver done with toppi gs and cooked in a woodfire, waitress es whete on the ball very pleasurable experience.

Food is always top quality. Service is excellent and a great location for people watching.

Amazing pasta and pizza!! It was all so delicious I ended up cleaning the sauce off the pasta plate. Pizza was freshly made as soon as we ordered and served to is straight from pizza oven. Food came out in no time and staff were both very friendly and lovely. Also the bathrooms were really clean. Location is pretty central only 5 to 10 mins walk from station.

i went to portorosa for dinner with 5 friends last weekend, we had pizza for share the taste was good.
we ordered chilli mussels very good taste, scallopine marsala the taste no really yummy but i really loved hot mash potato and fresh veggies..
also we liked mistomare, but the chips under cook.
and the last we share greek salad look very well presented in plate, tidy and good size.
good restaurant good atmophsere and friendly

This restaurant is absolutely fantastic. The gnocchi was delicious, the service was incredible, but the best part was the dessert dumplings. There plate was full of the golden dumplings, and the warm maple syrup and Nutella just went perfectly with it. It was amazing quality and quantity for $8. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone and everyone.

Disappointed with long wait for our orders to be taken after the waiter told us he was going to come back in 2 minutes and served patrons that came in after us and when we called him again after 20 minutes he was rude and shouted at us that we are not the only patrons needed to be served.We arrived at 7pm only to be served at 8:30pm whilst patrons who had come after us were already finished their dinners. Besides the poor service the food was ok. Not the best Italian Restuarant in Perth.

We had seafood latter and a plate of bread with butter and oil balsamic vinger we enjoyed it just enough for 2 nice place recommend it
