My husband and I had dinner at Porto last evening with our nephew and his wife. It was a wonderful evening. The food was delicious and it’s very rare that I find eggplant Parmesan as good as my mother-in law’s! The service was attentive and the atmosphere convivial. We will definitely done there again.
