We all enjoyed our meals, even my youngest who is a fussy eater. he wanted to take a pizza home for later. My only tiny improvement would be more variety pasta wise on the menu but apart from youngest, my lot including me would eat anything you cook as it is always delicious.

What is there not to love about this tiny restaurant in Maryport! Big welcoming smiles, big flavours and big value for money. Have a wood fire pizza, close your eyes and you could almost be in Rome. It is also only right that you end the evening with a glass or four of their home crafted Limoncello.

My friend and I had the most delicious 3 course meal cooked with locally sourced ingredients; as well as serving wonderful pizzas there are plenty of other options too. We took our own wine but also had Aperol Spritz, there is a drinks menu if you wish. Service was attentive and overall we had a most enjoyable evening: can’t believe it’s taken me so long to eat here. I’ve also had their takeaway pizzas which were fab, cooked in their wood fired pizza oven.

Second time at Portobello, this time with our daughters who were visiting us. They both said it's the best pizza they have ever had. Starters and desserts were amazing as well. The concept of bring your own drink (beer/wine) makes the evening more affordable which is great too. Can't wait for our next visit

Pizza wonderful as always but hard to cut as knives very blunt. (My guest also commented on this.) House salad very small. Ambience and service great.

Very good little restaurant that does very good food, not just pizza's. Not a huge menu but enough choices. Nice atmosphere and good and friendly staff.
