ristorazione — Linares · Andalusia
In the heart of Linares, in Jaén, the Greco family has spent decades bringing to the table the Italian cuisine of their homeland: Calabria. A direct thread connects them to grandmother Bettina's trattoria, opened in the 1960s, and to recipes that have never strayed from their origins.
The story of Portofino begins long before the restaurant opened in Linares. Fabio and Laura Greco are custodians of a family legacy dating back to the 1960s, when grandmother Bettina ran her trattoria in northern Italy. Those Calabrian recipes, handed down without adaptation, remain the backbone of the menu to this day.
The dining room at Portofino welcomes both the table for two and larger groups, with four customisable menus designed for those who want to build their own path through the dishes on offer. A cuisine the restaurant itself describes in precise terms: tradition, genuineness, discipline, authenticity. Not slogans, but working principles stated and applied every day.
From the kitchen come dishes that carry the names of Italian tradition: fusilli al forno, scaloppine alla valdostana, vitello tonnato. Recipes that seek no updating, because their strength lies in fidelity to the original. With over fourteen hundred reviews and a rating of 4.6 out of 5 on Google, Linares has recognised the value of this cooking.
