I've passed by Porto Romano numerous times but somehow, never thought of trying it. SF did try on one fine day and she got SL and I to join her for another meal there..
Porto Romano is a cozy little restaurant, you'll feel just at home the moment you step in. We promptly took our seats and check out the menu. Having a nice array of antipasti, soups, pastas, pizzas, risottos, seafood, meats and desserts to choose from, it took us quite a while to decide what we'll be having. As we were not too hungry that night, we decided to just have mains..
Though I'm always a sucker for pasta alfredo, I wanted something tomato-ish that night and we had Porto Romano spaghetti and Salmon with Fettucine. 
The Porto Romano spaghetti was an absolute delight, the tomato based sauce was sourish and sweet at the same time; with a hint of slightly burnt garlic which gives a wonderful aftertaste. The combination was so addictive, we were lapping up the sauce as much as we could ;p. The pasta was done al dente, accompanied with a generous amount of fresh seafood.
The salmon with fettucine was also good, though it still paled in comparison to Porto Romano spaghetti. 
The sauce used for this dish was different compared to the previous; it was tomato with cream, hence, the sauce texture was thicker and tasted richer. Again, the fettucine was done al dente, and we had a generous amount of salmon in this dish.

Porto Romano's version is thin crust, topped with beef pepperoni, ham, mushrooms, onions, cheese and some other toppings which I cant recall. The pizza was tasty, loved the slightly charred, crunchy crust. My only gripe would be the 'wet' toppings. Not sure why the toppings were rather, erm, wet (even the base of the plate was wet).. Some toppings actually slide of the crust when we tore it from the pizza. Yes, slides down and leaving you with the crust and base in your hands. Oh well, still tasted good..

Total bill was RM113 including drinks and after dinner coffee.
And this is the picture (or suppose to be) of the tiramisu... 
Before my camera decided to konk out for good.. :-(. Just got the diagnostic, this baby will be costing me RM400 to fix it (which incidentally is only 14 months old! just after my warranty period :-( ). Should I have it fix? Or invest in a new one? I'd better decide fast before my photo stocks runs out!
