    Del Porto is truly a hidden gem. I know the restaurant well and visited Manolo's many times in that space. The food is excellent and the service was very professional. The portions are large and the prices are on the higher side, but as you know, you get what you pay for! The drinks are excellent as well. I was really excited when I heard that the owners of Del Porto are from the same family that owns La Foccacia and Fiorino in Summit NJ. Both are great restaurants and Del Porto is similar to both of them - perhaps a little more business casual with a great bar. Highly recommend trying it out and checking out Elizabeth!!

    With great memories of meals at the Madison location a group of friends enjoyed a delicious dining experience again. Our server Dana was wonderful!! Patient, friendly and especially helpful answering our questions and making perfect suggestions. The burrata appetizer was a great start. The entire wait staff was very attentive anticipating all our needs. Our entrees included pork chops, filet mignon and filet mignon with crab cake. The full garlic bulb and bread dip was delicious. The white sangria a perfect accompaniment, too! Will make sure to leave room for dessert next visit....which will be soon👍
