We had a great experience here! The food was absolutely delicious—fresh ingredients, well-seasoned, and beautifully presented. Be prepared to eat, the servings were huge! Service was super friendly and attentive without being overbearing. The menu has something for everyone, and everything we tried was a hit. Highly recommend and can’t wait to return! (Ignore my little plate… I ordered so many appetizers that I was super full, so I shared with everyone else!)
Easily the best Italian restaurant we’ve been to, and a must-visit if you’re in the area. We’re often out of state due to military life, so we only make it here a couple times a year when visiting family in Jersey, but it’s always worth it. Favorites include the crispy zucchini chips, mussels fra Diablo, grilled king octopus, spicy penne vodka, Hatfield premium pork chop, and an unforgettable short rib tomahawk (special menu). While the linguini vongole and capellini & colossal crab pasta weren’t our favorites (the sauce was a bit too watery—just personal preference), everything else has been outstanding. For dessert, we typically get the chocolate filled churros or affogato, both solid options. This time we stuck with the crispy zucchini chips & premium pork chop and also tried the spaghetti carbonara and chicken francese paired with an eggnog coquito (from special menu) and it did not disappoint. Jhostin took care of us (and great service team). Top-notch service every time. I ABSOLUTELY recommend.
Absolutely recommend this place and truly hope they maintain the quality of both food and service. We went there to celebrate my graduation, and they did not disappoint. The food was outstanding—we loved the grilled calamari, veal steak, lasagna, tiramisu, and coffee. As I always say, a great dining experience starts with the first bite. When the server brought fresh, warm, perfectly crusted bread with olive oil infused with fresh garlic, herbs, and spices, I knew I had made the right choice for our small celebration. When our server, Larissa, presented the tiramisu beautifully decorated for the occasion, I knew I would definitely return whenever I’m in the area. A memorable experience from start to finish.
10/10 highly recommend! From the food to the service everything was delicious from start to finish. Naomy was our server and she so helpful and friendly. JT was also amazing with a beautiful personality. If you’re looking for great food, service and atmosphere come here!
Larissa at Del Porto Ristorante is truly exceptional! From the moment we walked in, her warm energy and attentive service set the tone for an incredible dining experience. She was knowledgeable, friendly, and made each moment feel special without ever being overbearing. The food was absolutely amazing — every dish was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. And the atmosphere? Stunning. Elegant, cozy, and the perfect backdrop for a memorable night out. Larissa elevated the entire experience, and we cannot thank her enough. We will definitely be back!
