Italian Night

We went to an Italian restaurant in Leichhardt, called Portofino on Norton Street. It was good, but just too noisy, it's a pity, we needed to shout end to end even though it was just a pretty small table. The portion of the dishes was surprisingly small. We thought the pizza were be an extra large and pasta were be in a huge big bowl. But it ended up like Domino's medium size pizza, and a medium take away box of pasta. But, after all, we enjoyed it a lot... =)

Ah song's LINGUINI AL POLLO (House smoked chicken breast, shitake mushrooms, mascarpone, chives and cream) Yummy!! That was the best dish of the night. Strongly recommended.

Tze hui's Al Polloollo e Zucca pizza (smoked chicken, roasted pumpkin, mushroom) It was quite unique, the first time I had pumpkin as pizza topping. It matched perfect and balanced the cheesiness. Worth to have a try.

My LASAGNA DI CASA (A traditional recipe with layers of pasta, veal ragu, tomato and besciamella sauce) It was quite good, just not much of a surprise. It's good for sharing though, would be too rich to have the whole plate alone.

Aaron's PORTOFINO pizza (Double smoked leg ham, cabanossi, roast capsicum, mushroom, onions, pineapple, anchovies and olives). I loved the anchovies and cabanossi. The toppings were just nice, generous but not too much. Worth trying too.
