What People Are Saying
from Google"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."
"We had an absolutely wonderful evening at Del Porto Ristorante. From the moment we arrived, the experience felt thoughtful and inviting. The food was outstanding—every dish resonated with the bright, comforting flavors you crave from Italian and Mediterranean cuisine, crafted with evident care and high-quality ingredients. My favorite drink, the Old Fashioned, was expertly prepared and came with a dramatic smoking presentation that added a memorable touch to the evening. The service truly stood out. The staff were attentive without being overbearing, and our party felt genuinely taken care of. The chef deserves special praise; it’s clear they’re passionate about their craft. They checked in with us and ensured every detail was perfect, which made the night feel extra special and personalized. The atmosphere complemented the meal beautifully—warm, inviting, and stylish without feeling stuffy. It’s the kind of place you want to return to again and again. In short, superb food, impeccable service, and a delightful ambiance. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a memorable Italian/Mediterranean dining experience. We can’t wait to come back. If you’d like, I can tailor this to include the exact dishes you enjoyed, the restaurant name, or a specific moment that stood out."
"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."
"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!"
"Great atmosphere to chill and talk. Came here for brunch for my friend’s birthday and I have to say the service was spectacular. The server took care of us. The food here was well paired with the drinks. JT was awesome. The service was very attentive. My cappuccino tho needs more pizzaz - needs something more to it; it was kinda bland. The avocado toast was filling and be prepared to take big bites. Pancake stack was small. For the price of the toast, the taste was just ok."
