Best Hot Spot Restaurants in Andover

My wife and I are traveling throughout New England for the first time to celebrate our one-year wedding anniversary. While researching restaurants in Boston, we came across Porto, took note of its gorgeous setting and decor, and made a reservation. Our experience was tremendous! The weather was perfect for sitting outside on the lemon-lined “Amalfi Patio”. Chloe, our waitress, delivered exceptional, efficient service and had wonderful food and beverage pairing suggestions; she also offered great recommendations for other restaurants in the area. She truly elevated our experience. My wife and I enjoyed a dozen oysters and the melon & prosciutto appetizer to start, and both dishes were vibrant and refreshing; we had a delicious, buttery Willamette Valley Chardonnay to pair. Next, we shared the Whole Branzino entree and really appreciated the kitchen halving the fish for us before serving; it was absolutely incredible. To conclude our meal we enjoyed two cups of roasty coffee and the Plum Butter Cake — perfection. I highly recommend dining at Porto and hope that you’re able to visit during the summer months because the coastal, Italian-inspired patio area is a dream! Thank you for a wonderful evening, Chloe and the rest of the Porto crew!

Live music, excellent service and recommendations by our server Camila, great vegetarian options and a staff and atmosphere that clearly showed care for the food being served. Also the food was outstanding. Highly recommend!

Another incredible meal with true professionals Steaks are perfectly cooked Best steakhouse in Boston

This place was phenomenal! The chocolate chip cookies for dessert were fantastic.

Amazing restaurant on the third floor above the Eataly marketplace, which is equally amazing. Everything we had was made from simple and fresh ingredients in a way that flavors were complex and unique. Food was cooked over an open wood burning flame as well. Our server, Edgar, was professional and attentive; he gave us excellent service! Definitely would recommend to anyone visiting Boston. Bonus: shopping downstairs in the market where they have fresh pasta, aged meats, seafood, produce, and imported goods from Italy!
