Ristorante Portofino

Elegant in the city centre

The Ristorante Portofino ranks among Kiel's upscale Italian addresses and lies centrally in the city, within walking distance of the Holstenstrasse and the Bootshafen. The ambience is refined: laid tables with cloth napkins, warm lighting and discreet Mediterranean accents create a setting that invites a festive meal without feeling stiff. The attentive, well-trained service contributes much to the feel-good character. Anyone wishing to dine Italian in a stylish setting, placing a little more value on atmosphere, will be in the right place here.

Homemade pasta and wine list

The kitchen relies on quality and craftsmanship: homemade pasta in changing variations, fresh fish, classic antipasti and fine meat dishes feature on the menu. It is all accompanied by a carefully assembled Italian wine list, from which the staff are happy to suggest a fitting pairing. The dishes follow Italian tradition, are cleanly prepared and attractively presented. For lovers of Italian cuisine who appreciate the authentic and the refined alike, the Portofino offers a small culinary holiday in Italy.

The right occasion

The Portofino is especially suited to special moments: a birthday, an anniversary, a business dinner or simply a refined evening for two. It is open from Monday to Saturday at midday and in the evening, with a break in the afternoon; the house stays closed on Sundays. Given its popularity and upscale focus, a reservation is recommended, particularly at the weekend. Anyone wanting to enjoy the evening in peace is best choosing a table a little away from the door and taking time over several courses.
