Ordered takeout tonight. Order was ready quickly and accurately. It was really good. Portions were very plentiful. Will definitely order again.
Our family got together to celebrate dad’s birthday and SO happy we chose this restaurant! From the moment Selena came over to our table -she made sure dad felt special :) The wine was excellent…the garlic rolls were sinfully good, the soups were delicious-minestrone and mushroom were our favorites. Now dinner- my fish and linguini prepared so well -…my husband loved his dish -eggplant lasagna ala mamá (i think it was called) and my cousin raved about her chicken cacciatore! For dessert -they sang to dad over a yummy cannoli…thank you Selena and team for such a wonderful celebration dinner! LC
Our server was good but he forgot couple of items, we ended up telling him not toBring them anymore. Very busy during dinner time. Good garlic rolls.
On 3/21/22, I was having birthday party for my son. And opted to order pizza. I called placed on hold for over 5 minutes at that point the phone disconnected. Called again laughter came on other end and was asked to hold then was hung up on. I call several more times and same thing laughing please hold then hung up on. The most worst experience ever. Needless to say I never ordered my pizza. I will never order from there again. Thank you nyp in boynton for coming to my rescue. Will from now on order from them.
Took my Grandma out for her birthday here. The food was very good (especially the bread), but the restaurant was very understaffed. It took over an hour and a half to get our food. We felt bad for our waiter because it looked like he was covering the entire restaurant and helping in the kitchen.
5-Mar-2022 2nd visitDecided to return. Another menu with nice portions. We arrived a bit after 7pm... several tables open outside (mild night for outdoor dining). Seated promptly. Once our waiter greeted us with menus, he asked us for a drink order, we asked him for garlic rolls. Took our order, returned with our drinks, NO BREAD. Asked again. Then he came back to take our orders (still No Bread).After we placed our order, (soup or salad is included), I asked for house salad, no tomatoes, add onions (they complied last time). And asked for Bread again (3x now).Let's put it this way... after asking 5x for bread, we asked a waitress from another table. She promptly brought out the garlic rolls.My salad came with tomatoes and no onions. When I asked about it.. didn't get a sorry.. didn't get onions. Got an absentee waiter. When my meal arrived, the pasta was wrong. I waited for too long for the food and bread, so I just dealt with it.Very disappointed with the lack of service. How many times should someone have to ask for bed (BTW, the table beside us immediately got bread upon being seated as well as side plates for the bread.)Bottomline... good food (when they get the order right). Service lacking. Removing one star.Photos added this time.Oh yeah... Fra Diavolo is on the menu, however check your bill before paying. They charge you extra for it.×××××××××××××××Mid Feb 2022 - Great food. Large portions. Accommodating (they allowed me to change my chicken dish from a wine sauce to a red sauce). Garlic rolls included. Inside & outside dining.Service was a little slower than expected (maybe they were short staffed Sat night).Will I return? Yes. Want to try something else on the menu.Sorry... forgot to take pictures. Next time.
3 visits in past month. First and third we’re sad. Both times I had Marco wait on us. This kid on first visit was clueless, slow, forgot buns and no xtra sauce, we asked for. Today, Marco was just as bad, no, worse. We were first two outside, he came over. Asked for wine and he served it. Gave our order, both the chicken parm. Mushroom soup and salad. Asked for rolls and xtra sauce on spaghetti as in first time. By this time two other table had guests. Our buns came, lovely with tons of garlic and warm, soup followed by salad. All was good. Waited almost 30 minutes for main dinner. He was busy bringing out a pizza a couple of subs for the table behind us. I asked for our meals as we had ordered before this table and was told it would be right out. Then he proceeded to take another tables order, after which ours came out. No xtra sauce, and lukewarm spaghetti. He’s. Been there long enough but is still clueless. His tip was $3.00 and me telling him to smarten up. For a place with a great turnover, they could power wash the outdoor seating area. It’s sickening. The toilet so so, but the door leading into the kitchen was disgustingly vulgar. This owner is only interested in the money nothing more. If anyone dares venture here, try the bathroom and look to your right at the door to the kitchen. I hope the counters where they prepare the food is cleaner. I for one, will not be going back. William
We e heard a lot about this place so, we decided to give it a try. There were four f us and each had a different entree. Entrees come with soup and salad and rolls. Portions are large most people take enough home for another meal. Waitstaff was pleasant and on point. The outdoor seating is a nice touch. We will be back.
Great local Italian and pizza joint. You can tell the ingredients are fresh and homemade. Delicious food at reasonable prices and huge portions. Even their soups and salads are really good. Best francese sauce in S FL in my opinion. Don't miss the Monday night pizza special either.
Through COVID we have enjoyed Porto Bella's covered patio, friendly unrushed service and authentic Italian cuisine. The breezes keep the patio from getting overheated yet removed from car exhausts of the nearby parking lot. The menu is long with several daily specials. Lunch specials and prizes are superb and an early birds dinner also pleases the bargain shopper. But the food is the center of attention. One needs to choose among a variety of Italian specialties , and pastas, both with meat or fish or a long list of options for the vegetarian . Lunch starts with warm garlic knots or rolls . Then we choose the veal or Chicken parmigiana ( $11.95 or $10.95) which comes with pasta of choice with marinara sauce. The servings are two complete chicken breasts or two large veal steaks battered and deep fried with ample parmigiana cheese melting as it arrives sizzling. The pasta of choice is quite ample . I prefer angel hair. WE have had the meatball sub, veal parmgiana sub and chicken club sandwich which are ample and filling with fries on the side. But the baked dishes are quite large, fresh and excellent quality .WE always take another lunch home from Porto Bella! The pizzas are also favorites here but we choose again and again the baked items or a special. Porto Bella honors its own coupons if printed for 15% off and also gives a senior discount. They honor us all with great cuisine. I try to tip well to say thank you to their helpful staff.
