Awesome

What an awesome place. The ambiance is amazing with the exposed ceilings, the lighting, etc. The service was awesome as well, and fast. Went for brunch. The devil's hair pizza was awesome. So was the chocolate French toast.

Still Excellent

I first visited Porta 4 years ago and on returning it’s great to see it’s still excellent. The service is friendly and with a smile and the pizzas really good. The star dish this visit was the Octopus - char grilled and crooked to perfection!
