A flawless, lovely afternoon. Wonderful service! We ordered a pizza, octopus, short-rib pasta, wine, pannacotta, biscotti, and expresso. Each dish was perfectly made and often surprisingly so. The restaurant even served my wife a birthday treat, which many fail to do.

Il Porto continues to be the best neighborhood Italian place. We tend to come earlier in the evening because we have small children. The staff and the owner are so welcoming! The pizzas are delicious and the pastas never disappoint. Don't sleep on the baked clams or the crab croquettes.
