We were a party of 3. We arrived a few minutes early but were seated right away. The restaurant did fill to capacity by the time we left. The service was good, the food was delicious. The drinks were very good. The company was great. The only criticism remains that the dining room is just so noisy. It is very hard to hear the people at our table talk, so we talk louder, and then everyone does. Not much to be done about this, but it is a concern.

My husband and I love Del Porto particularly their antipasto. They were a little heavy handed with the vinegar this time but the meal was still lovely. Our server was very nice and attentive without being overbearing.

Del Porto is always reliable. My wife and I went for lunch and enjoyed a very nice Tuna Crudo for an appetizer and well prepared Shrimp Picatta over Spaghetti. Service was very nice and it's always a pretty dining room.

A delightful place to dine! Our meals were terrific, and the pork chop entree was worth singling out. It offers a very pleasant setting which is conducive to conversation while enjoying the food and ambience. the portions were generous and the service was attentive. Thanks for great evening, Del Porto!

"I love the relaxed feel of this place – like a comfortable dining room in a friends home. I definitely would return to try more dishes. The potato-leek soup was amazing and the Bibb lettuce salad was refreshing. The table was split on the monkfish – one person thought it was great, but another felt that the tastes didn't quite mesh. Everyone loved the flat iron steak. Service was well-timed and friendly, wines were affordable."
