Elias was our server, and he was friendly and offered great menu selections. The Arancini balls were crispy and filled with risotto, capers, and mozzarella, with a touch of vodka sauce. The fried artichokes were filled with goat cheese and accompanied by balsamic vinegar. The lasagna served with mixed vegetables was absolutely delicious. The lasagna was moist and the meat sauce was full of delicious flavor.
Very cute place, decent food, nice service. Had dinner here with a friend, we had reservations for 4:30 pm. We dined inside, would love to come back on the patio sometime.
5 stars every time! Only valet parking offered so the tipping was a surprise there! The regular menu is excellent but the specials make this restaurant exceptional! Ordered the yellowfin tuna special and it did not disappoint! Fresh tomato soup and salad for my friend! Cannoli for dessert, easy to share! Our waitress was amazing and helpful with menu suggestions-always a plus! The ambiance of dining on the patio is what makes the experience of dining at Portico!
Delicious lunch on the outdoor patio. I ordered the half sandwich and salad and hubby ordered half sandwich and soup. The lemoncello cake for dessert was awesome and was recommended by our server, Rock, who gave us excellent service.highly recommend this charming restaurant on River Road. \
My daughter and I went here last Saturday night- What a true Gem 💎 this restaurant was! We called- they were booked- okay how about Bar seats 👍. We had a fantastic meal and the bartender ( female) was exceptional. We ordered one special and the Ravioli as our main entrees. Both were Amazing. Honestly we plan on driving back for dinner one night- from Chesapeake VA ( it was that good!). Loved the meals and took a dessert home that was outstanding.
