Our server was very friendly, but had his head in the clouds! Did not write our order down correctly, forgot to bring my husband his drink, did not bring us bread and ended up bringing our salads two minutes before our meals arrived. (Which I do realize may not be the servers doing.) My son had Pesto Chicken, which he said was very tasty. My husband had the Garibaldi sandwich, which was very tasty, but seemed lacking in toppings. My dinner was the Fettucine with Chicken and Broccoli. Sadly, this seemed like it came out of a box. Not bad, just not special. They need to up their game, to stay in business and attract people to keep coming.

Porta Bella did not disappoint. Apps, entrees, and dessert were all delicious, staff was prompt, friendly, with overall great service. We ate inside and enjoyed the atmosphere, the courtyard is lovely.

Terrible food! If you’re going here thinking it’s like paisans this is not it! My sons pizza tasted like a soggy cracker. My pasta tasted like it was frozen and reheated… At least our waiter was nice. Next time taking the wife and kids to Naples

Very disappointed overall and a waste of money. Our waiter appeared to be distracted and in a hurry with only a few customers. The food was terrible and one of our orders was wrong which the waiter noticed after we were done eating. Was a waste of money and will not recommend to anyone.

First time experience and will return!! Was seated quickly as walk-in . The facility is a bit worn from years of service. However the host who doubled as wait person was polite , knowledgeable and efficient!! The food was delicious!! Well worth a try, particularly if you enjoy Italian.

Food was excellent portion sizes are generous for the price and service was great. Anything with steak here is good or I recommend the spicy meatball sub if you're into that.

The cannoli was really good! The lasagna not so much :/

Portions were very generous and delicious. Our waitress was so kind- she was a college student and she put up with all our questions and gave us recommendations.
