Great spot for drinks and pizza. The wait staff are all helpful and quick with service. The pizzas are nice and great for sharing. We enjoyed the Italian Stallion, Meatball and Arugula pies. When we dined there some appetizers were out of stock already but there are some other tasty choices. Nice spot for a delicious meal

Honestly horrific. The atmosphere seems good, but then you’re met with 20+ min of sitting at the table with no one checking on you when you’re one of 5 tables in the whole place. The food, however, was the greatest disappointment of all. The menu wasn’t spectacular to begin with, and with the limited items they have, they couldn’t get even close to edible. The pizzas were nearly entirely burnt. The calzone WAS entirely burnt to a crisp. I actually mean completely black with specks of non burnt dough. NOT EXAGGERATING. I’m not sure how they are okay sending this stuff out of the kitchen. The server felt horrible, despite her limited appearances as it became clear no matter how many times the kitchen “tried” it was just the same awful result. The only meal we ended up paying for (out of multiple attempts and four different orders) was the amatriciana, which was quite literally out of a can then blasted with a handful of salt. Horrific. We asked for some fresh oregano, which they don’t have. The server forgot. When I reminded her after 15 min she brought back dry Italian mix. Clearly they don’t have fresh ingredients.

If only the food was as good it’s aesthetic. Do NOT eat here.

I made a reservation for 6 in hopes to have a lunch on a rooftop with church members but they did not open the rooftop for few reasons. They instead offered us few meals for free of chage which made all of us smailey 😉

Stopped by Porta on a weekday night for a light meal and had a great time. The place has a nice, indoor biergarten vibe, has exceptionally warm and hospitable servers, and great food/drinks as well. We had the Crispy Chicken Lemon Cutlets (huge portion size and delicious, and the lemon nicely complements the slightly dry chicken pieces) and the Garlic Oil Pasta (amazing flavor).

Every year, I come down here to get my taxes done, and we always find a new place out here in the area to eat. This year, we chose Porta. I’ve never been here before or heard of it. I just happened to see it this time around and said ok let’s try it! The menu is different from what I have seen at an Italian restaurant. It was a little pricey, but it’s not an everyday thing, so ok! The server was nice, and the atmosphere was well lit. The decor was different, but creative. It looked like it might have been an apartment building from back in the day, and they decided to keep some of the apartment doors with the apartment number still on them. Pretty cool! We decided to go with what we knew, which was pizza. There were other choices, but I wasn’t too familiar with those dishes. We got a meatball pizza and another one that was like almost a veggie one, I can’t remember the name. The meatball pizza was good, but the “meatballs” were actually flat pieces of meat. I’ve never seen a meatball like that, but it still tasted ok. The other pizza was actually pretty good. They are like a small pizza size, so we ordered 2 pies for 3 of us. We still had left over, so it was good for our party. I would recommend if you want to explore new flavors and decor choices! However, ask for ice with your water, I am not a fan of room temp water when eating a meal.

Went with my mom for brunch. Everything was okay! I got the Pangea which is just some scrambled eggs, a salad, and fingerling potatoes. My mom got the eggplant parm. The only thing that we didn’t like was the Three Trees Salad. It had a very bitter flavor, I think from the arugula and the radicchio, and there wasn’t any dressing.

Great venue, good drinks. Loving the rooftop vibes in the summer. Food takes a really long time to make. Waiter came and shushed us to wait for the food. For that I am giving 2/5 stars. A shame, because it could be a 5/5.

This place was disappointing. First off the whole place smelled like wet dog for some reason. Also the right most TV at the bar is apparently stuck on channel 7 and they are unable to change it so enjoy wheel of fortune instead of the baseball game.
