    My 3rd time visiting, second time being served by Justin. Great drinks, Great dinner, great service. Pasta dishes are fantastic and specials menu keeps me coming back for new options. Zucchini chips and octopus are a favorite. Always accommodating, friendly and filling.

    The majority of us enjoyed our food very much. Our experience was where things went a little wrong, food allergies are not something to take lightly. But the manager was as more than accommodating. So we appreciated that. But we recommend for any large parties that the restaurant has more than one server or waiter at the table. This will lessen on things going wrong with orders. But we had a good time regardless.

    Our third visit, and we live about a half hour away. Even though there are plenty of Italian restaurants near us, Del Porto is something special. The food is so good, the portions are generous and there are always lots of interesting specials, making it very difficult to choose! We had zucchini chips, paper-thin and crispy, a wedge salad with a Caesar style dressing, eggplant lasagne and short rib ragu, and were quite happy with all of it. Our server, Justin, was great - so attentive without being obtrusive. The only disappointment was, we saw a favorite bottle of wine on the list but they were out of it. No matter; made another selection and thoroughly enjoyed the evening.

    The service was excellent and the food was very good! My Husband ordered the pasta special with lobster and it was delicious. The pasta was made fresh and the sauce was perfect.

    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!!
