LA PIZZERIA Lübeck
Pizzeria Portofino
Pizzeria in Lübeck
A tucked-away courtyard and a wood-fired stone oven give Portofino its setting at An der Untertrave 63. Founded by Dominik Pokorny in 2019, this family-run Lübeck restaurant makes its own pizza dough and allows it to mature for up to 48 hours.
Pistachio, pear and truffle
Pizza Pistacchio e Mortadella pairs mortadella with fior di latte, ricotta, pistachio cream and fresh mint. Pera e Zola takes a sweeter direction with Williams pear, Gorgonzola, roasted macadamias, walnut crunch and honey. The namesake Portofino combines truffle cream, fior di latte, fresh mushrooms and salsiccia. The Margherita uses San Marzano tomatoes, fior di latte, olive oil, Pecorino Romano and basil. Calzone encloses salami, ricotta and scamorza with San Marzano tomatoes.
Vegetables to start
The carpaccio here is made from beetroot, served with buffalo mozzarella, rocket, honey and pistachios. A vegetable antipasti platter for two combines marinated vegetables with Italian cheeses. The pizzas bake beside the flames in the wood-fired oven.
Pasta from the oven
Pasta Al Forno consists of rigatoni with homemade basil pesto, mozzarella and Parmesan, baked in the stone oven. Rigatoni Boscaiola comes with a cream and truffle sauce, salsiccia and mushrooms.
An alcohol-free dessert
Portofino makes its tiramisu without alcohol. Panna cotta with fruit purée is another dessert option. To book a table, contact the team on 0451 58242233.
