Really good food. I'm picky so 5 star food has to be exceptional. Love the atmosphere. Valet parking is required.

I would give zero stars if I could. We booked a table for 4 adults and brought our 10-week-old baby. Upon arrival, the host was incredibly condescending, lecturing us that 'a baby is a person' and therefore we were a party of 5. We didn't say anything at the time; we were hungry and just wanted to eat. Despite there being plenty of empty tables inside (maybe some reserved - lets give the benefit of the doubt), they proceeded to seat us outside in below-freezing temperatures. They simply turned on a patio heater, but trying to keep a newborn warm with a subpar heater in that climate is close to impossible and unsafe. We actually tried to make it work because we were hungry, but it was just too cold.
When we finally got up to leave, the staff simply smiled. There was no solution offered, no care, and zero empathy. It felt like our business wasn’t wanted. When a business is this indifferent to a family's safety and comfort, especially with a newborn baby, makes you wonder why - we left with a really uncomfortable feeling as to why we were treated that way. Would it have been different if we were not obviously foreign looking? Absolutely disgraceful service. Save your money and go somewhere that actually values its customers.

Great outdoor dining tent. Service was pleasant but could be improved. The food was disappointing. The pasta dishes lacked in flavor both seafood items had crab(?) shell pieces in them (seafood crepe & artichoke/crab dip).

Although the room is small and tables seem not quite large enough for our party of 4, Portico never disappoints! The food is fabulous, and portions are large! They have a fun seasonal cocktail and mocktail menu . The valet parking is a nice touch. A wonderful date night dinner !

Had heard many things about the place, so went into dinner with no expectations. Very nice, and quaint restaurant. We sat inside, but they also have a nice outside area. We were immediately waited on and told the specials and took our drink orders. We ordered our appetizer, I think it was garlic baguette- tremendous. My wife ordered rock fish and I ordered the filet mignon. They both came with mashed potatoes and sliced thin vegetables. My steak was Perfect. The vegetables were to absolutely die for. The fish was great. We had dessert, I had custard and my wife had the lemon cello cake- both were amazing. Great evening and a very good experience.

Shaky start but they figured it out. Food was terrific and plentiful. Staff could use better training and speed of service could benefit from zone coverage.

Always great staff and service - newt spot hidden in a neighborhood. Would love to live closer!
Juliana was a great server. Came back and checked on us multiple times. The food was delicious especially the meatball and calamari appetizer. This is one of the first restaurants the calamari came out hot! The ambience is nice the voice level is usually moderate so it's easy to talk comfortably.

The dinner was great and our waitress was wonderful. I loved the tiramisu. The noise level was a bit loud but didn't ruin the experience.

Date night! I had one of the specials, the lamb chop and hubby had the seafood crepe. We started with the grilled artichoke appetizer and was more than enough to share. I would have preferred a baked potato but that wasn't an option and the mashed potatoes were tasty.
