Porta Bella Italian Restaurant, a long-standing establishment in Madison, offers a charming old-timey atmosphere reminiscent of Chicago-style Italian eateries. The facility shows some wear from years of service, but this adds to its character. The pastas are perfectly cooked to al dente, and the food is delicious, with generous portion sizes that provide great value for the price. The beer on tap is delightful, and anything with steak is recommended, along with the spicy meatball sub for those who enjoy it. Located conveniently near a public parking garage across the street, the service is commendable, with friendly waitstaff, including a knowledgeable college student who provides helpful recommendations. The cheesecake and Genoa's Chicken Pesto are highly recommended, and the patio allows for an enjoyable outdoor dining experience, while the inviting interior creates a cozy atmosphere. The sausage pizza features big chunks of delicious, nicely spiced Italian sausage, making it a must-try.
