A kosher Italian restaurant and bar on HaMelakhot Boulevard, with stone-oven focaccia and pizza, handmade pasta and fish

Portofino is a modern Italian bistro named after the fishing village in Italy that its owner, Daniel Peretz, visited and fell for. The kitchen bakes focaccia and pizza in a hot stone oven and serves handmade pasta, salads and fish, and every evening it adds specials built on what is fresh at the market. Its desserts are made in the restaurant by its chef, Uzi Rosha Gavizon. The bar pours white, red, rosé and sparkling wines and cocktails such as Aperol spritz and Campari orange. Breakfast is served on Friday mornings, and business lunches run from Sunday to Thursday between 12:00 and 17:00.
