    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.

    Good service and it was nice eating outside on a summer evening. I just thought the food was average and not really worth the $.

    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!

    We had an outstanding experience at Porto. We ordered the Squash Blossom Fritti and it was as delicious as the one we had at a Michelin star restaurant in Rome. Chef visited our table twice! Our dinners were divine. We can’t wait to go back. There were three of us and we all loved our meals! You will not be disappointed dining here. Service was excellent, food was special.
