    Was looking for somewhere to eat near the airport and found this hidden gem on Open Table. Drinks, food and service were all amazing. Valet parking made for easy in and out. All of the waitstaff were great and made for an exceptional old-school Italian restaurant experience.

    Food, service outstanding. Had a group of young athletes w big appetites and refined palates. Portions full sized. Services team was great and fully engaged. I'd go back in a minute. Fully priced, but worth it. Steak was great, as was chik parm alla vodka, zucchini chips, anti pasta, cannoli n churros spot on too. Vongole strong too! Artie Bucco would be proud!

    we were staying at a hotel airport flying out the next day. Took an Uber to the restaurant without high expectations and were pleasantly surprised.. Walking through the door, we were immediately impressed with the ambiance of the bar. Has a very stylish interior. The staff were friendly and attentive. My wife had a delicious eggplant lasagne, and my rigatoni with meatballs was better than good enough. Very generous portions. Nice bread, olive, and cheese plate to start. Overall, two thumbs up.

    Service was slow, even tho there were only 3 tables occupied. Server was confusing, didn’t know the menu items, and overall just not great service. Food overpriced for location.

    This place is absolutely beautiful inside and the ambience was incredible for it being Valentine’s Day, it was well decorated. The service was great until we had to wait 1hour and 20 minutes for our entrees after being told by the waiter that we needed to order appetizers and entrees together due to it being so busy. Which we understood very well and did exactly that. In terms of pricing it’s more on the expensive side but the plates come well serviced and full. We had a great experience over all and loved the vibes of the place.

    What a gem! This restaurant is 11 minutes from my house. Loved the vibe and the decor for Valentines day! They offer valet parking! Our server John Williams was excellent. Food was great and flavorful. The pasta was homemade! . They make a great Espresso Martini 🤣 we will be back!! This restaurant featured on the Sopranos, Artie Buccos Vesuvio!

    They were understaffed for Valentine’s Day which made service extremely slow. Food was good not great (Vodka sauce & shrimp/Chicken Parm alla Vodka). Our waitress seemed like the only one serving 7-10 tables downstairs. She did the best she could and must’ve been overwhelmed. The price didn’t match the quality, but I would eat there again on a none holiday to point out the differences.

    First time at del Porto since space was Manolo’s. The renovations are very nice and a big change. The food was very good as we had fried zucchini chips, carbonara and pasta with clams. Stars of the show are the staff. So friendly and well trained. They are an excel team. Stephanie was our main server and couldn’t have done enough. Great night out.
