Portofino is a bistro-pizzeria on the Historic Quay. It overlooks Hartlepool's most famous attraction, HMS Trincomalee. Surrounded by free car parks, it is the ideal venue for lazy lunchtimes, fast teatime treats and party nights.

Stopped off at Hartlepool to use as base for trip on to Newcastle, needed somewhere to eat. Good old trip adviser came up trumps. This is not a top class Italian restaurant and that is reflected in the cost of the dishes. This must be the worst entrance to a restaurant, up the back escape stairs. I trusted trip advisor and kept the faith. Great food, not over priced, amazingly friendly staff, perfect service. Relaxing.I have no idea how the few bad reviews could be fact. There is more than enough room between tables. The staff all made a point of checking if all was ok even to the extent of one waiter coming from one side of the room over to me to see if I needed another drink. How many times have I been in a restaurant and a waiter covering another area comes over to ensure all was ok ? Never, so this was impressive and meant a 4 star went to a five star. Pity this restaurant is over 400 miles from home!The food was so good, well cooked and no skimping on ingredients.Loved it!!!!Dear TonyshopThank you for your review of Portofino and for putting your faith in Tripadvisor. Our Entrance isn't the the greatest but it certainly makes for some amazing views whilst eating. Your review is one that fills me with reassurance in my early journey of business owner having been here 21 years but only owned the restaurant a year and a half. We know we aren't fine dining as you say but we believe consistency is key to been successful in the industry hence why we are the oldest restaurant in the town. Ive passed your comments on to the waiting staff as this is the kind of response they will grow from after all life is all about the little things. Thank you so much for your kind words and we look forward to seeing you again when passing. All the best, Regards Noel

Again, a surprise lunchtime visit with friends. Absolutely remarkable prices including lunchtime specials which explains the significant number of people dropping in. I had mussels( £7) to start with ( extremely good and plump) followed by Lamb chops - four decent sized ones with mash and a sprig of rosemary (£11.95).Very very friendly staff and, I must say, a great place to get relaible food

Celebrated a birthday night out with 10 family and friends and can only say after nearly 5 years in business this restaurant is consistent in its service, food quality , ambience and perfection in its food presentation. Every starter, main course and for the 3 of us who could manage a dessert was served piping hot in a manner that could not be improved. I promised myself chicken and king prawn dish and was not disappointed. The sauce was amazing. Well done Tony and team. You should be very proud of your success. Special mention to waitress Elisha who continues to welcome all customers in a calm friendly manner.

As always the food here is great. Excellent service from friendly staff. The prices are good especially when you compare it to other places who charge nearly double. As a family we have our favourites to share but we also try any new dishes on the menu. We've been going since the restaurant opened and never had anything except excellent food.

This eatery was highly recommended and I thought we would give it a whirl. Front of house young girl was amazing and very attentive. Presentation was very good. We had just finished starter, I found mine rather bland and the mains appeared so it all felt a bit rushed. I had seafood and found it under seasoned and over cooked. It also had mushrooms with the dish and the textures just did not work. Portion size was large. I was just âokâ and for me I wouldnât return. Thank you for coming to visit us. It's always lovely when people comment on how great our members of staff are! Sorry you did not feel our food was up to your standards. We will take your comments on board.
