"Wir kennen das Portofino schon, seitdem wir hier im Ort sind, und es ist immer wieder ein Highlight! Neben den unglaublich leckeren Milchshakes, für die wir schon lange Stammgäste sind, gibt es seit Neuestem auch eine fantastische Pizza – klassisch, auf den Punkt gebacken und einfach köstlich. Der Besitzer ist außergewöhnlich herzlich, immer gut gelaunt und geht auf jeden Wunsch ein. Man fühlt sich hier sofort willkommen, und genau das macht den Charme dieses wunderbaren Lokals aus. Ob für ein schnelles Eis, einen gemütlichen Kaffee oder jetzt auch eine leckere Pizza – Portofino ist und bleibt unsere erste Adresse in der Umgebung. Absolute Empfehlung!"
