Elizabeth's of Portofino ( Dining / Italian ). Located at 897 Post Road, Warwick, 3 miles from the center of Cranston. Portofino’s restaurant, located at 897 Post Road in Warwick, Rhode Island, has been an institution in Rhode Island for the last 25 years. Under the ownership of the Alves family, Portofino’s became known as a “wonderful little Italian restaurant” and was a popular place to meet friends or celebrate a special occasion. In 2004, the Alves sold the restaurant to a gentleman that didn’t have the same passion about Portofino’s. So in November of 2006, Elizabeth and her two children, Philip and Nicole, bought the restaurant with every intention of bringing it back to life. The first thing they did was change the name to Elizabeth of Portofino’s so everyone would know that she had arrived. Learn here about Texas Holdem poker. www.elizabethportofino.com
