"The Fruti di Mare was delicious, but I had them prepare it with a wine and garlic sauce instead of the creamy options the plate originally came with. We had a large party of 10, so the service was not great. Our waitress was a bit short on patience, but perhaps it was the size of the party. I had read that the White Mousse was delicious but not one of the 3 people that tried it, thought it was specially good. We each had one spoonful and it was enough. (we left half of it behind) The chocolate cake was better. Overall a good experience."

"I heard a good few things about this restaurant so decided to take my family there for an early Easter dinner, I was not impressed... 4 of the 6 dining had the Chef's special... lobster, scallops, shrimp in a red sauce... scallops were fresh and good, but the lobster and shrimp were chewy and seemed liked previously frozen or over cooked. The other two of my group had Chicken dishes which were quite good. Also, could barely understand our waiter. My opinion was not good overall and more than likely would not go again considering how much I paid for not so good of service and food!"

"Every meal at Il Porto has been outstanding. Have never had a disappointing experience there. Can't go wrong with the lasagne. Very consistent and well-done American style Italian food."
