Wanted to find the perfect place to bring 18 people for a special dinner. Found it! Ports lived up to its stellar reputation- fantastic food, service and atmosphere. Thank you

We had high hopes for this place, but it fell flat. The food was not seasoned well, very bland Bolognese. The hot mulled cider cocktail was room temperature, and the rest of our dishes were nothing we would rave about. The bread was good and the oil with seasoning was a nice touch. Our server was overloaded taking care of the whole dining room and the bar by herself. We won't be returning.

Ports of Italy: Where the customer is not always right! 50$+ per person on a casual weekday night. The food was mediocre but flavorful. There was a hair in our cocktail, and our server kindly told us he would replace and it “It’s on me”. However, the cocktail was still present on the bill and we subsequently had to argue with him extensively to have it taken off the bill. While the server still got a generous tip, it was a sour moment that ruined our evening. I can’t say I’ll be back anytime soon.

What an absolute gem of a find, recommended to us by a local family friend while we were visiting. Beautiful restaurant with food that was simply superb. It would be my go-to Italian if I lived there for sure. Grazia mille for our delicious lunch. Definitely one I hope to return to next trip. Go! Go now!

The meal was overall very good, especially the fettuccine and polipo. The risotto with the ossobucco was extremely salty and hard to eat. The server wasn’t especially warm and friendly, long waits between each visit and no water refills.

This was an unexpectedly delightful experience! We were staying in Camden and didn't realize how quickly restaurants filled up on a Sunday night when many places were closed. Instead, we opted for a short drive up the road for a late dinner here.

The restaurant itself is gorgeous. From the moment I walked in, I knew this place was going to be something special. From the decor and ambiance to the views of the river I felt like I was in a more sophisticated restaurant.

Wayne took great care of us and made sure we had everything we needed. It was extra special that we had the opportunity to meet and chat with the chef who was so warm and gracious.

Finally, the food! I selected a Blueberry Thriller Mocktail which I loved. It is so nice when restaurants have an actual mocktail menu - it really shows them going the extra mile. Bread (warm and fresh) came out quickly along with dipping oil. So good that I didn't wantvto stop eating, but needed to leave room. The husband and I split the rollatini and the gnocchi pesto. Both were fantastic, but the eggplant rollatini really blew me away. All of the food we tried was fresh, delicious, and worth the cost (which honestly was not that bad comparatively).

Highly, highly recommend stopping here for a meal.

Do not go here if you are a woman by yourself. You will be treated rudely and condescendingly and honestly the food just isn't that good to put up with his shoddy treatment. I left.

Sitting outside was lovely. The service was fast and not rushed. The waiters were very kind and knowledgeable. The Caesar Salad was delicious, fresh with creamy dressing. I got the Tagliatelle Bolognese. It was amazing. I highly recommend getting it. The portions left you full and comfortable but not stuffed quite honestly perfect. The wine selection was excellent and don’t skip out on the fresh homemade bread.

Party of 3 for lunch. Food was good. And beautiful plant arrangements all around. The server could have been a little more engaged in her job. Just seem a little distracted.
