I ordered a linguine marinara. Presentation, good. Flavours, aweful, no woeful!
The sea food was chewy, over cooked. Arrived with a scent that it was starting to smell, old ingredients. The sauce, bland, rushed and not cooked down to improve flavour.
I've had two meals in Tamworth Thursday and Friday both were not worth plating.
Sorry Portobello, you are well below the standard of any Italian restaurant I have visited.

We had a starter each for me and my girlfriend, as well as a main course. The starters were amazing, fresh bread and perfectly cooked cannelloni. The mains came out not too rushed to allow for time to relax, the pasta we each had was beautiful, and the pizza we had between us redefined how good meatballs can be. Desserts were equally delicious, the waffle is amazing. Overall, this is one of the best restaurants in Tamworth and has amazing service as well provided by Katie on this occasion. I highly recommend it.

Fantastic family Italian restaurant. Clearly very popular. Huge choice of food, something for everyone and it looked and tasted stunning. The chefs really know how to cook and all the staff knew what they were doing, great atmosphere. Recommend the steaks, it was one of the best we've had in Europe. Will be back again soon.

I doubted family run Traditional Italian Restaurants after experiencing so so quality food and samey options delivered by overly passionate staff. Portobello Restaurant has put my faith back in the Italian culinary experience.
On entering I was met by grounded, accommodating staff that ensured I was happy with the choice of table. Staff were smiley, chatty and assisted joyfully with the menu options. I opted for some nibbles and their excellently priced 2 courses for £19.95.
The atmosphere in Portobello Restaurant is relaxed, sociable and family oriented. The minimalist artistic interior beams

Down In the Tamworth Area for a conference, decided to come here for friday dinner (20/04/2018) restaurant was easy to find in the town centre on the road coming up from the castle away from the river. Was seated very quickly, atmosphere is simply decorated but provides a nice atmosphere. Food was very tasty and presented nicely. For Starters I ordered a mix of bread and Olives with a dipping oil, the bread was served warm and crusty which was very good. The oil served had a nice fruity taste which went well with the warm bread. The olives were also very tasty. For Main course, I went for the meatballs
