    This place is absolutely beautiful inside and the ambience was incredible for it being Valentine’s Day, it was well decorated. The service was great until we had to wait 1hour and 20 minutes for our entrees after being told by the waiter that we needed to order appetizers and entrees together due to it being so busy. Which we understood very well and did exactly that. In terms of pricing it’s more on the expensive side but the plates come well serviced and full. We had a great experience over all and loved the vibes of the place.

    What a gem! This restaurant is 11 minutes from my house. Loved the vibe and the decor for Valentines day! They offer valet parking! Our server John Williams was excellent. Food was great and flavorful. The pasta was homemade! . They make a great Espresso Martini 🤣 we will be back!! This restaurant featured on the Sopranos, Artie Buccos Vesuvio!

    They were understaffed for Valentine’s Day which made service extremely slow. Food was good not great (Vodka sauce & shrimp/Chicken Parm alla Vodka). Our waitress seemed like the only one serving 7-10 tables downstairs. She did the best she could and must’ve been overwhelmed. The price didn’t match the quality, but I would eat there again on a none holiday to point out the differences.

    First time at del Porto since space was Manolo’s. The renovations are very nice and a big change. The food was very good as we had fried zucchini chips, carbonara and pasta with clams. Stars of the show are the staff. So friendly and well trained. They are an excel team. Stephanie was our main server and couldn’t have done enough. Great night out.

    Everything was amazing, from the service to the food. The octopus was exceptional. So delightful. Our server Eli was a sweetheart and helped us with cocktail choices and he was so on point. I was obsessed. Such a great dining experience.

    My 3rd time visiting, second time being served by Justin. Great drinks, Great dinner, great service. Pasta dishes are fantastic and specials menu keeps me coming back for new options. Zucchini chips and octopus are a favorite. Always accommodating, friendly and filling.

    The majority of us enjoyed our food very much. Our experience was where things went a little wrong, food allergies are not something to take lightly. But the manager was as more than accommodating. So we appreciated that. But we recommend for any large parties that the restaurant has more than one server or waiter at the table. This will lessen on things going wrong with orders. But we had a good time regardless.

    Our third visit, and we live about a half hour away. Even though there are plenty of Italian restaurants near us, Del Porto is something special. The food is so good, the portions are generous and there are always lots of interesting specials, making it very difficult to choose! We had zucchini chips, paper-thin and crispy, a wedge salad with a Caesar style dressing, eggplant lasagne and short rib ragu, and were quite happy with all of it. Our server, Justin, was great - so attentive without being obtrusive. The only disappointment was, we saw a favorite bottle of wine on the list but they were out of it. No matter; made another selection and thoroughly enjoyed the evening.
