Ellison Bay Restaurants

It was our first time dining here, and both the food and the server were exceptionally pleasant.

Our dinner at Della Porta was nothing short of fantastic! We selected this restaurant because it offers gluten free pasta options as well as some non-alcoholic beverages to accommodate our dietary sensitivities and preferences. The Insalata Italiana was dressed perfectly and both fresh and flavorful, the perfect start to our meal, along with a dish of mixed olives. My wife thoroughly enjoyed her Pennoni Alla Genovese with gluten free pasta, and the braised lamb of my Spezzatiino was so tender that it easily fell off of the bone with my fork; no need for a knife...and the flavors were out of this world! Not only did our server offer suggestions for wine to pair with our entrees, but he brought two bottles to the table for us to sample his top two recommendations for both of us. This special touch is quite rare and is an example of what puts Della Porta to the top of area's fine dining options. He also cautioned me that my amaro selection, Amaro Del Capo, would be served cold, but it was what he grew up drinking. Now I'm out sourcing a bottle to buy for my home refrigerator! The people at the next table all had excellent-looking pizzas which they devoured. I may try one on a return visit but it is going to be a hard choice given the quality and uniqueness of the entrees. But our next visit will include an arrival before our reservation time so that we can enjoy the lovely outdoor bar and patio area. My wife and I can't wait to return to our newly found "best restaurant" in Door County!

Great job by everyone, Carlton is fantastic as always, and lots of fun having Lucas pop by to explain new cocktails. Favorite restaurant in Wis!

The early bird 3 course dinner offering is outstanding & great value several choices to choose. We enjoyed Delicious Whitefish Almondine.

Really good food and wine. We have dined several times and enjoyed everything.
