“ Excellent food. We decided to try the prix fix menu on the most romantic holiday of the year. Truly, I asked the waitress to let the chef know the food was prepared perfectly. I cant wait to return to try the standard menu which looks incredible as well. We ate in the tent which felt safer than being inside. Still warm with the heat lamps, I was fine with that. Service and staff were on top of things and very friendly. I'm telling everyone about this restaurant. A new gem to add to my short list of local talent to try. Thank you. You exceeded expectations! Update: 3rd time here, waiter was the best. Wedge salad dressing perfect. Loved the butternut squash side. Broccoli Rabe was a little stringy. Ribeye a bit salty. The atmosphere was loud in main restaurant but we sat on porch. Much quieter. Parking can be a problem. ”
“ The 2-for-25 pizza deal at La Porta is hands down the best tasting pizza deal around. Their artisan pizza is outstanding - cooked in a wood burning oven, with great tasting crust, cheese, fresh tomato sauce. We got the margarita and plain cheese plus a Caesar salad. Great service. Great people preparing your food. Worth a try! ”

“ Amazing restaurant with plenty of gluten-free menu options that are heavenly ”
“ I have been back 3 times now since they reopened with the new Chef/menu. All the food items that I tried thus far having been very very good. Especially the muscles. Can’t wait to keep working my way through other menu items. I do like the changes they made. The service and atmosphere are at their usual high level. The bartender Melissa is fantastic. She is always incredibly engaging, gives great wine and food recommendations and always has an amazing smile on her face. ”
“ Wood-fire pizza was delicious! Topped w/fresh ingredients and had that perfect crispy crust...oh and their meatballs are a must. Ambiance was great- warm and inviting. The rustic decor and soft lighting creates a cozy vibe that’s perfect for both a casual night out and special occasion. Five stars! ”
“ Part of me doesn't want to tell you how good this place is because you will go there and crowd the place; this restaurant is small. However, it is also warm and cozy and acts like a true roadside inn. The cuisine is Italian and everything is fabulous as the chef obviously knows what he's doing. There is a nice bar area and outside patio as well. The happy hour is killer with good food and wine for 6 a glass. Beyond all this is the pizza from the wood fired oven which is incredible. You got to get here if you haven't been! ”
