Delicious every time !! the fresh mozzarella the best !!

Great atmosphere. Good is awesome. Staff is friendly.

Perfect. I’m embarrassed to say that this is the first time I have been to Porta. This place has been hyped for years and I just couldn’t seem to get here, although I definitely wanted to. It more than lives up to, if not exceeds it’s reputation.Low-key. Down to earth. Very chill but hip vibe and the food was delicious. The flavor combinations were perfect. We had the margarita pizza and the summer Betty. Both blew us away and we are pizza snobs. Lol.We also had the-Hand rolled meatballs,-Pesto and sun-dried tomato risotto,-the Billy Ocean (Squid ink fettuccine, PEI muscles and octopus, garlic and capers)-The Gorgonzooch (fettuccini, Gorgonzola, arugula and Parmesan Reggiano)Each dish was nicely prepared, ample and full of flavor.Service was excellent with food coming out in a timely manner and very friendly and informative. Great recommendations by our server.We will absolutely will be back. I’m actually kind of mad at myself for waiting this long to finally get here. Do not make my mistake. It’s totally worth the trip!! Absolutely will be getting here more often. New favorite!

Food was good. Service was good. Vibe was chill. A single serving salad could be shared between 2 people. The risotto was new on the menu and so delicious. The pizzas are $17 for a small personal size pie. The pizza tastes good, you are paying for the extra love and attention your pizza deserves. Solid place to enjoy a drink or have a fancier not average pizza experience.

We had never been to Porta. This was our 1st time. We didn't know if we were supposed to seat ourselves or wait to be seated. We stood at the front entrance for the longest time, until we were finally approached by the hostess. We shared a margherita pie. It was good. Not the best pizza we've ever had. Not the worst either. The jazz duo was unexpected. They provided background music. The songs they played were not my cup of tea, but kudos to them for making an effort to entertain us. This eatery has picnic tables with hard chairs & benches. It's a let-your-hair-down kinda place. Nothing fancy. Very informal & low-key.

Perfect experience! Exceptional cocktails and food. Everyone was so sweet and professional. Our waitress’ name was Carly and she was amazing.

The waitress took a bite out of my kids food never go here!! They were all so rude and even yelled at my kid for wanting to change her order. Waitress has brown hair with a blonde streak.

Porta has a great menu. The food was delicious. Everyone at my table enjoyed their entrée. We were there when they had live music. It made for a very wonderful evening. I definitely recommend Porta.

It is not fine dining, but a perfect place for a casual dinner?. Our daughter celebrated her birthday ? with her friends. This place is popular among her high school friends. The menu is not too vast, but they cook everything very well. We ordered a few Pies of pizza?, I ordered a Monday Night, which was a Gnocchi dish, and my little one ordered a Gorgonsootch. For appetizers, we ordered fried calamari, and bread ?with fresh mozzarella. Everything was delicious. I do recommend making reservations, because this place is very busy and wait times could easily be over an hour during rush hours.

I had my wedding at Porta and it was perfect!! The whole team was amazing…Chandler, Elizabeth, Peyton, DQ! The food (pizza, passed apps, Nutella pizza, fresh mozzarella) was delicious. We used Jersey Shore Florist for the flowers and they were better than I could have imagined. Porta makes the whole process very easy…from adding on a floral archway, to naked cakes with flowers, to pizza tastings, to disco balls lighting up the whole room, and animals on the walls. Porta is also very reasonable compared to everyone else’s prices. We had a wedding planner but you could do without one since they will have a team there for you the entire time. We had 120 guests in the Monk room and Abbott room and that was the perfect amount.The only advice I would give is if you have some heavier set family members I wouldn’t put more than 8-9 people at a table so everyone can fit comfortably.
