Portofino - Carta

My ice cream cafe didn't have any ice cream, just cream and jelly that tasted like stale coffee grounds water

Portofino in Timmendorf has been one of our most popular restaurants on the island of Poel for years. We love the store

Despite pre-ordering, I still had to wait about 20 minutes. The shop was full but unfortunately we didn't like the pizzas. More like pizzas from the train station and not like those from the Italian restaurant Ver carta

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.

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.

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. Ver carta

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.

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.

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. Ver carta
