Portofino Restaurant Ceases to Trade

In a lamentable turn of events, the culinary landscape of the Quayside in Douglas is losing one of its most cherished gems. Portofino Restaurant, a fusion of Mediterranean and Italian cuisine that has delighted the palates of locals and visitors alike for years, has sadly ceased trading. The news has left patrons disheartened, as they bid adieu to not just a restaurant, but an institution that has been synonymous with exquisite dining experiences.

The Journey Comes to an End:

Portofino, nestled in the heart of Quayside has been more than just a place to savor delectable meals. It has been a hub of social gatherings, a venue for celebrations, and a backdrop for countless cherished memories. The decision to cease trading was undoubtedly a difficult one for Mario Ciappelli, who has poured his passion for culinary excellence into every dish served at Portofino.

Challenges in the Culinary World:

The restaurant industry is notorious for its challenges, and the Isle of Man the last few years has not been immune to the economic and operational difficulties that have plagued many establishments in recent times. Rising costs of ingredients, labour, and overheads, coupled with the unpredictable nature of the hospitality business, have forced Mario to make the tough choice to close the doors of Portofino.

Farewell to Culinary Mastery:

One of the defining features of Portofino was its commitment to culinary mastery. The chefs, namely Jimmy Ashworth at this establishment were known for their dedication to crafting dishes that elevated the dining experience for its patrons.

Memories and Gratitude:

The final days of Portofino approached a few weeks ago now, and it has been hard for Mario to turn down Christmas bookings this time of year as I am sure you all appreciate, but, with the market conditions and increasing costs along Marios health feeling the burden after 50 years in the hospitality scene, 35 of those at the helm of his own ventures such as The Max, La Cucina and of course Portofino at 1 Quay West!

Looking Forward:

As Mario bids farewell to Portofino, it is a poignant reminder of the challenges faced by those who endeavour to create culinary experiences that transcend the ordinary. However, the end of one chapter often marks the beginning of another. Perhaps, in the future, we will witness a resurgence of the culinary spirit that made Portofino a beloved institution, but for now, Mario is focusing on his health and family.

In conclusion, Portofino Restaurant has closed its doors, and Mario is extremely grateful to all his suppliers, chefs, and staff who contributed to its legacy...and of course all the patrons over the years for your support!
