Both the PONCHATOULA STRAWBERRY & GOLDEN BEET SALAD and the ITALIAN CHOPPED SALAD were truly stellar! The whole order of the ARTISAN GARGANELLI w/gulf shrimp was perfect for the two of us to split and was excellent as well! Everything else we had (appetizer, olive oil & focaccia, drinks and desserts) was on par with a restaurant of this caliber. All in all, a great evening out to dinner for the two of us.

We have been to Del Porto on several occasions and have always been pleased with the food and service. We have been both at lunch and dinner. The main area is desirable, not the side section in the front near the kitchen. This is where we were on our last visit (the only negative to the experience). We introduced a couple to the restaurant. They were extremely satisfied and said they will return.

My wife and I have dined here for our anniversary for the past 10 years (along with other random visits) and we have never had a less than perfect experience..They have somehow perfected the art of keeping a diverse menu while keeping the food and service consistently amazing..Add to it the many locally sourced items and the in house made pastas etc and it just adds to the reasons we love it.. Our fav!!

There is never a time when I eat at Del Porto that I’m not drawn to memories in Italy. We traveled for 20 years to Italy 6-8 times per year, this is one of the few restaurants in the US that has truly authentic Italian cuisine served in a relaxed atmosphere with a smile!

Our party of three was celebrating a successful dry January. The ambience was so pleasant, low volume music, very appropriate to the restaurant. The food was fabulous, and our server, a young lady, was very attentive and contributed to our most enjoyable, dining experience.
