Great restaurant. Mussels were delicious and everything else we ordered. The lamb pie was like the one we had in Ireland, crust was flaky good. Brisket sandwich was fantastic too. Service was great; beer was good. And just loved the whole ambience. Fun place and great food!

Had a lovely time catching up with friends. The Vaso Shimp was tasty. Elizabeth raved about the flounder. Vaso is on our “visit again” list.

We had a business dinner at Laporta's and it was a big success. Our server, Denise, was very accommodating and professional, and the food was excellent! There were eight people in our party and everyone raved about how delicious their meals were. About halfway through our dinner, the piano player started playing, and this added a nice touch to the ambience of the restaurant. I highly recommend Laporta's.
