This week's review is of Portofino Mediterannean Grill (18825 US Hwy. 19 N. Clearwater; 727-286-6234
), where we witnessed some of the largest portions of anything i have ever seen on a plate that wasn't intended to feed an entire family. Frankly, i thought it was too much, but it certainly increases the value if you take it home and make three or four meals of it. The interior, it should be noted, is beautiful. In fact, on one visit, one of the people I was with took a photo of the blue-lit, wave-textured white wall (pictured) and made it the background on her phone. Also, I thought it was funny that I could find no vestiges of the building's former life as a Hops ... until i looked at the high-top tables outside, which were inset with barley and hops and other beer ingredients. Here is a link to the review, and here is a link to the restaurant's website.
