A BIG THANK YOU TO IL PORTO for refusing to become greedy, like so many restaurants during/after Pandemic, and serving such DELICIOUS food! Your portion size of the eggplant parmesan is incredibly GOOD, & coffee-chocolate gelato is to die for!Please don't change, going downhill like many Gaithersburg & Germantown restaurants. BRAVO for Il Porto!??Such a beautiful atmosphere too.
We were here for a rehearsal dinner. The staff was incredibly accommodating, especially given the size of the party. The food was ok, again, good for the crowd. The calamari and white pizza appetizers were delicious and plentiful. The chicken was very well cooked, not dry at all, but the sauce was just a little on the bland side. I had the tirimisu for dessert which was good, however unexpectedly doused in cinnamon. It took a long time to get everything, but I blame that on the size of the party, not the restaurant. Would be better with less people.
Fabulous food! Don’t get put off by the strip mall this place is absolutely fantastic! Staff are friendly and welcoming and recognize us as our whole family have been going there for so many years now I can't even count. It's everyone's "favorite place"! Ate there last week and sat outside watching the sunset. Got take-out tonight and it didn't disappoint! Pro Tip: If you are ordering take-out, make sure to ask what the daily specials are! They are amazing!
The atmosphere and the service was excellent. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. My subtraction of a star is only because one of the ladies I was with had to add quite a bit of salt to our pasta, almost like they didn't add salt to the water before cooking.
Amazing! The calimari was the freshest and largest pieces, perfectly cooked. My eggplant was soft but not mushy. And dessert was out of this world, flavorful and tasty. Highly recommend this restaurant!
Consistently great service and fantastic food. We always recommend them for lunch and dinner. Good for business meetings as well.
Charming and warm place. The staff, the dining room and the intimate atmosphere are all very nice. The food was good. Presentation was a bit lacking for my rockfish but it was still very tasty. Not enough lump crabmeat for the price though.We dined as a family and everyone enjoyed the food. My vegan husband liked the bean appetizer and his angel hair pasta entree as well. I can't wait to go back for date night. Lovely place!
One of my favorite restaurants. Never had a bad meal. Always look forward to going there.
Order the white pizza with extra fontina cheese. Nor a chance you can go wrong. The service staff are all very friendly and accomodating. Great restaurant.
We have been going to Il Porto for years, and each time we leave with an overall excellent experience! I stopped eating at those two well known spots Italian spots in Georgetown a long time ago, since walking into Il Porto's doors! You can't go wrong with any of their menu items, and their drinks are always on point. But, what gets to me the most, and what warms my heart is how the staff makes you feel like you are dining with family! It's a great gem that we have in Montgomery County!
