Porta is a lively restaurant known for its fabulous pizzas and great cocktails. The food is good, with pastas and apps available for brunch. The vibe is hip and fun, transforming into a huge dance floor on Friday and Saturday evenings. Customers enjoy the roof, especially in winter, as it is kept warm and cozy. The bar is popular, with Abraham, the bartender, always quick and friendly while making awesome drinks, including the White Door, which is a favorite. The inside is large, and in summer, sitting on the roof is a great option.
The menu features favorites like spaghetti, acorn squash, and corn pizza. All the pasta dishes, especially the ricotta and meatballs, are top-tier. The pizza is great, with some mentioning the Carbonara Pizza as tasty but a bit runny with egg, suggesting a lightly scrambled or fried egg instead. The double pasta portion may be limited, and the stairs can have a strong smell. Porta offers vegan options, but not on the dessert menu. Parking is in a walkable neighborhood that is starting to get decorated for the holidays. Kid-friendliness includes covered cups and coloring pages, though crayons are needed. The restaurant’s accessibility wasn’t confirmed, but bathrooms are downstairs. The arugula side may be dry unless added to pizza, and bread and butter or garlic and oil should be complimentary. Despite some minor issues, Porta remains a lively spot in Jersey City, perfect for pizza, dancing, and enjoying great drinks.
