We very much enjoyed our dinner! The waiters are professional, the hand crafted pasta delicious, the ambiance cozy!

Just had the loveliest dinner at Il Porto with my grandparents. We all loved our homemade pasta dishes and agreed that this was one of the best meals (and restaurant ambiances) that we've ever experienced. Jesús was an excellent server, so enthusiastic, attentive, and cheerful. 10/10 service.

Was really surprised by the food quality after going because of such high reviews. The bread was served with cold butter (no olive oil?). That was fine but then I ordered the mussels with linguine (white sauce) and it was completely tasteless; I’m not a person who needs a lot of sodium, but it tasted like raw noodles - it had no taste. I thought fine I’ll try something else. Then I tried my wife’s linguine (red sauce) that accompanied her calamari, and it tasted like Ragu which was even worse. On the plus side, the service was phenomenal.

I worked with Alberto and Myra to cater an adult birthday party on a Saturday night. They were fabulous. Friendly, responsive, helpful, kept in touch. The food delivery and pickup were seamless and the food was delicious! We ordered eggplant parmigiana, chicken Marsala, baked ziti, vegetarian lasagna, and caprese salad for 36 people, and they brought enough bread and butter to feed an army! Only negatives: the sternos under the chafing dishes went out after an hour, and I think they overestimated the amount of food we needed. That's only a partial negative to me because I'd rather have too much than not enough, and we had leftovers and froze the rest. The price was very reasonable too! I would highly recommend their catering and will definitely use them again.

Service and ambiance of this place is A1. Never had to ask my server for anything. He was on top of everything. Ordered drinks and clams and was amazed. Once my chicken piccata came I was severely disappointed. Had no flavor looked unappetizing and it came with bland pasta with cheap red sauce. Was appalled at how great the restaurant felt but how much the food lacked flavor. Server didn’t make it clear that the linguine came with red sauce. Thought it would come as one with the piccata. May come back really unsure after
The chicken parm goes insane. Really good drinks as well. Nice owner and staff are great and fun to talk to.

Great but pricey food; easy parking. Seemed to have a waiter in training -- my friend I dined with had particular financial constraints and asked questions about prices of certain items to which the waiter rolled his eyes...how not to make a good tip. This is a service industry; if you can't provide service without eye rolls, go train for some non-service position somewhere else.
