Portola Bistro is a vibrant new dining destination offering a blend of European flavors with an emphasis on French, Italian, and Mediterranean-inspired cuisine with a California flair. The restaurant features a warm and inviting atmosphere, an indoor space, heated patio, and bar, and wood-fired pizza oven. With a carefully crafted menu, Portola Bistro is poised to become the go-to spot for memorable dining experiences in Portola Valley.
The restaurateurs are well-loved for their other popular Bay Area restaurant—Barbayani Taverna in Los Altos.
This is our third time dining with Portola Bistro. Each time, we are very pleased as are our friends. The food is inventive and delicious. The service is excellent. Don't be fooled by the shopping center location. This is truly a gem.
