The sweet tea tasted like plain flavored water — not sweet at all. I asked for a Barq’s root beer, but they brought a Mug instead. The food itself wasn’t terrible, but the service was another story. The person who brought it out spilled nearly half of my meal onto the table, then used a fork to scoop it back onto my plate without offering to remake it. After that, our waiter barely checked on us. They also pack way too many people into the back room; it was so loud I could hardly hear the person sitting just two feet away, even though the front area was nearly empty. Overall, very disappointing experience — I wouldn’t recommend this place at all.

I’m not sure why the overall rating here is 4.3 ⭐️
This restaurant is easily 5 ⭐️ +
My wife and I have been going here for our anniversary for the last 10 years, and multiple times in between, EVERY SINGLE TIME the food is excellent, the service is perfect, and the atmosphere is one that can’t be beat on the Northshore. In over 30-40 dining experiences now, we literally do not have a single complaint, it is fine dining restaurant perfection as far as we are concerned. ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

Del Porto is one of the best restaurants in St Tammany Parish. Also it has been for a very very long time. Ran to the T by the chef owners. Great job. The waitstaff is always 100% spot on. Food hands down some of the best around.

Keep the ladies in their bathroom and the men in theirs. No mixing.

Haven't been to this gem across the pond in a while but last night's trip to the Northshore did not disappoint. Del Porto was amazing as always. The bread, the white bean dip, the pastas, steak and chops were all wonderful. The service was outstanding thanks to Gina (manager) and Maddie (server). I’ll be back soon!

My colleague and I had dinner at Del Porto a few weeks ago. We both ordered tagliatelle and mushrooms and we both had food poisoning.

Arrived before Happy Hour ended, which is 6 P.M. Discounted drinks and small plates. The old fashion was excellent. Our party ordered a variety of small plates to share, including small pizza, Fritti (fried seafood and vegetables) and Stromboli (provolone and salami with homemade marinara sauce). All were very good with Stromboli taking the first place. For the main event I ordered Osso Buco. The Osso Buco was served over mashed potatoes and spinach in a rich gravy. This was the first time I had pork Osso Buco, smaller than a veal Osso Buco but a very nice portion, nevertheless. The Osso Buco was Outstanding. Finished the evening with the Lemon Penna Cotta. Besides the food, I have to shout out to Sean, our server. It has been a long time since I had such personal and attentive service. He was fantastic along with all the support staff. Sean made us feel as though we had our own personal butler. ENJOY, we did, and we will be back.

We were turned away at the door. Hostess said unfortunately we are all booked up tonight. I asked the whole night? She said yes. We got back in the car and I was immediately able to find a table 45 minutes later.

Food and service were excellent. Noise level made it very difficult to have a conversation at the table.

The food was delicious from the caprese salad appetizer to the risotto and the snapper. Even though I wasn't able to get my osso buco, the snapper was light and tasteful.

Ben was very gracious and informative. The Amberjack special and the house-made tagliatelle were outstanding as was the wine. I don't usually have dessert but opted to this time; the tiramisu did not disappoint and my husband loved the smoked Italian coffee.
