Cafe Portofino

Cafe Portofino

Did you know that there is a difference between Italian food found in the US and Italian food found in Japan? There is and the two types of Italian food are very different from each other. So starts my review of Café Portofino.

In true Disney form, this restaurant buffeteria hustles guests through the food line with trays, allowing guests to select their choices and pay at the end of the line. While at Disneyland a roll and butter are usually included in your meal, keep in mind that at Tokyo Disney Resort, everything, and I mean everything, is a la carte. This includes the roll and butter. Skip the roll and butter. You’ll be able to afford a loaf and a block of butter back in the US for the price that we were charged.

The spaghetti that I selected tasted unique. I am fairly well versed in Asian cuisine, considering my parents taught me how to eat fish heads at an early age, and the Japanese spaghetti did not quite meet my expectations. Without much garlic or spices, the spaghetti most closely resembled the Chef Boyardee canned delicacies found at grocery stores. But this is the way Japanese-Italian food should taste and is quite popular there.

A better choice for meals at Tokyo Disney Sea would be the vending carts or a full-service restaurant. If you are not pressed for time, try exploring Ikspiari, the entertainment complex outside of the parks that can be reached by the Tokyo Disney Resort Line monorail.
