I never understand how one place gets such a range of reviews. I guess everyone...diner, server or chef can have a particularly good or bad day. All I can tell yo about this place is we went once, ate at the bar, loved it and said we'd go back. Forgot about it until a Groupon came up and we said... More

Will not be going back here despite the many opportunities for a deal. They offer many coupons in local mailings and groupons, but I wouldn't even bother after trying this place. The calamari was awful. My meal was unimpressive. The server was nice, but that's about all that was good here.

I've been to Porticello's twice in the last year and was extremely disappointed each time. The food is mediocre at best but the service is absolutely awful! My wife and I went for dinner and we're treated as if we didn't even matter. At the most recent "experience" (which was a slow week night so it's not as if the... More

It had been awhile since my husband and I had dined at Porticello's and we were instantly reminded of how wonderful the food is prepared. We arrived about 7 PM on a Saturday evening and at the time it wasn't too busy. We were greeted and seated promptly. Originally, our waiter was a bit slow to arrive but the rest... More

I agree with Denise S. who posts the reservation system is awful and the attitude of the manager is terrible. I would extend that comment to the host working on Sat. Evening 8/11/2012. I purchased a Groupon that included 2 appetizers, 4 entrees and 2 desserts for 4 people. The Groupon requires a reservation and mention of the deal. I... More

We dined on a slow Wednesday evening. Service was very good. We sampled their pizza which was very good. They use much better combinations of ingredients than most places so the flavors were very appealing. I also had their pasta Bolognese. Its a home made sauce. As I talked to some of the regulars the consensus is everything is equally... More

Overall great experience and food. Called ahead to make a reservation and had to leave a voicemail. The message on the answering machine said they would not call back and to assume the reservation was confirmed, but to my surprise, Mario himself called me back a few hours later. The service was good, but it was a Tuesday night so... More

Food average; servers good; management awful. I called during hours the restaurant is open to make reservations for dinner. You get an answering machine with instructions to leave name, # of people, date and time for the reservation, and a phone number to call if they have a problem. Not very satisfactory. One does not know if one has a... More

Everytime we go to Porticello's I have to fight with myself to not order the same thing, but the chicken balsimico is too good, so 9 times out of 10, I order it. When I do order something else, I'm never dissapointed, but always go back to the balsamico chicken the next time I'm in.
