Inspired by Italy’s aperitivo hour, when public squares and streets are filled with lively conversation, Portico serves handmade and authentic Italian fare in Sebastopol in western Sonoma County.

A portico is a colonnade or covered walkway in classical architecture. Since the middle ages the elegant porticos of Bologna, Italy have a meeting place for the public as well as a place for business. Paolo Pedrinazzi (who is from Bologna) and Kat Escamilla, owners of the new Portico trattoria , bring this experience to Sebastopol. They even have monthly Regional dinner parties with live jazz.

The setting includes an Italian fountain on their cozy patio. Portico offers light table service and counter ordering. Excellent Italian wines are sold in the restaurant at retail pricing; refreshingly unpretentious. The menu features an array of antipasti, handmade egg pasta, gluten free risottos, Bolognese lasagna, tiramisu, and baked goods . A market in the front is stocked with take-n-bake entrees

    We had another stellar meal at Portico. It's one of our favorites. We are greeted warmly on arrival, seating promptly and then await a superlative meal. We started with the Vegetarian Antipasto with luscious crostini with mozzarella and sun dried tomatoes, vegetables and a fennel, orange and olive salad. We always have to have the light, fresh simply gorgeous arugula salad. It does not disappoint. We ordered the classic lasagne bolognese (superbly thin pasta, elegant meat sauce), Tortelloni with a squash stuffing, topped with sage butter (excellent) and the always perfect eggplant parmesan. We were sad to report we could not order a dessert, the chocolate cake in the case was beautiful, the tiramisu is always tempting, but we could not manage another bite last night. Excellent food, nice staff, we love it!

    The food is amazing with all kinds of wonderful flavors. The wine menu is priced just right. The owners are great to chat with as well as the other patrons. Certainly a home town atmosphere with elevated food and wine. A great choice in Sebastopol.

    Portico reflects all of the qualities of a small Italian restaurant in Italy, short, concise menu with food to match, house made pasta and sauces, just two or three ingredients, modest size serving, no big pile of pasta in a bowl but plenty to eat and modest prices reflect the servings. Terrific Barrata and small, focused wine list also well priced, no diet Coke. We couldn't believe that we'd never heard of the place and now it will be on our regular rotation.
