PORTALE 21 - Opificio di cucina In Marino

A private and enchanting corner of Marino with a welcoming summer terrace: the dishes draw inspiration from traditional dishes but are respectfully reinterpreted with grace and elegance by chef Valentina. The wine pairings are expertly crafted thanks to Federica's excellent advice.

Excellent restaurant, without a doubt. We ate some very interesting dishes. The courtesy and attentive service was truly excellent, as was the expertise of the serving staff. They suggested truly perfect wine and food pairings. What can I say? Everything was excellent, even the location was very elegant. I would definitely recommend it for a romantic dinner!

We ended up here by mistake while on a bike ride. Absolutely everything was perfect, the food was exceptional, and the girls were incredibly kind. Definitely one of those places you have to try. Brave, brave, brave!

very good, from the raw materials, to the dishes to the care of the guests

This restaurant never disappoints! We've been coming since it opened, and it's always a guarantee: top-quality, expertly prepared food, friendly, attentive, and welcoming service, a clean, well-kept atmosphere, and large, well-spaced tables. It's perfect for couples looking to enjoy a romantic dinner and for families looking to share time and good food! Try it without hesitation. My husband and I are vegetarians and have always chosen without hesitation... The cardoncelli mushrooms and eggplant meatballs have always remained in our hearts... Thank you for the excellent work you do.

Last night I celebrated my husband's birthday at this restaurant, and I can't say enough good things about it. After a long time, finally a place where quality and customer service go hand in hand. The food was impeccable: dishes crafted with attention to detail, authentic flavors, and top-quality ingredients. Every course was a pleasant surprise. The service was equally top-notch: the staff were courteous, professional, and always attentive, without ever being intrusive. A special thank you to the staff for helping make this evening even more wonderful. We'll definitely be back!

Overall, a nice place and excellent food. My only criticisms are that the starter and main course menus are too limited, and the Chantilly cream for dessert could be improved. You can't serve cream with all those lumps.

We were lucky enough to try this place after searching online for a post-wedding lunch at the town hall. Luckily, we were led to Portale 21, where the owner agreed to open specifically for our small event, modifying the menu after a joint discussion to suit our needs. The quality of the food is excellent, the place is very well-maintained and beautifully decorated with a distinct modern style. The service was absolutely impeccable, discreet yet always present; the young woman who assisted us knew perfectly both the dishes served and their composition, as well as the possible beverage pairings. I would recommend it to anyone.

An exceptional experience! I had the pleasure of dining at this restaurant and was truly impressed. The place is very welcoming, perfect for a relaxing and enjoyable evening. The fish is incredibly fresh and impeccably cooked, with original and flavorful dishes. A special thanks to Eleonora for her professionalism, always attentive, friendly, and capable of making guests feel at ease. The wine selection also matched the cuisine. Highly recommended!

I discovered it through social media. Even though I'm not from the area, I went to try it as soon as I had the chance. I was impressed by the attention to detail and the way they presented themselves. Dinner was a success. The place is beautiful, the atmosphere is quiet, and the staff is kind, attentive, and knowledgeable. They never seem too stuffy. The menu invites you to play. It makes you want to try something new. Some dishes work very well, others less so. The dessert selection, for example, is limited compared to the rest of the menu. Unfortunately, two of us had some issues with the meat. We still paid for it even though we didn't eat it. I found this a bit rude, but I have to say that every restaurant behaves differently. It's a shame.
