The sumptuous flavors of the Mediterranean meet Hawaii’s tropical bliss at Café Portofino, an Italian dining destination in the heart of paradise. Featuring exceptional Italian food and your choice of al fresco and salon seating, the Italian restaurant offers European-style fine dining conveniently nestled on a stretch of Kauai beach reminiscent of the beautiful banks of the Mediterranean.

At this Italian restaurant, take a seat surfside as you embark on your culinary journey to Italy. Start with fresh steamed Manila clams, a classic caprese salad or an antipasto platter to split from Café Portofino’s mouthwatering selection of authentic Italian food.

Choose a classic entree like spaghetti alla marinara, chicken piccata or lasagna with fresh seasonal vegetables. Or, indulge in the freshest seafood you’ve ever tasted with signature Hawaiian fish selections like opakapaka and opah, prepared to your liking and sautéed with a sauce of your choice, such as white wine with capers, tomato and spices, or authentic guazzetto.

No Italian dining experience is complete without a perfectly paired bottle of wine. Café Portofino’s excellent wine list places a special emphasis on the wine country exports of California and Italy. And don’t forget to leave room for an irresistible dessert like homemade gelato or decadent tiramisu alongside a steaming cappuccino.

For delicious Italian food you’ll love and a fine dining excursion you’ll never forget, choose Café Portofino, open nightly and just perfect for a romantic date night, a special occasion, or an important event. To secure your reservation, call (808) 245-2121 or visit their website.
