Portofino Taupo

Portofino Restaurant was established in 1980 with its first location in Parnell, Auckland. Over the past 45 years, it has grown to become a loved and trusted family-owned franchise with several locations across New Zealand. Drawing inspiration from the rich flavours of Northern Italy and the freshness of New Zealand’s local produce, Portofino has created a signature al fresco dining experience that captures the warmth and authenticity of Italian tradition. Over the years, its commitment to quality, consistency, and genuine hospitality has made Portofino a cherished name in New Zealand’s dining scene—where family, flavour, and tradition come together.
