"If you want dinner and nightlife all in one spot, try Porta. The huge space has garage doors that slide up in the summer to let in the breeze, which you'll be thankful for if you're staying for dancing—lines to get in can wrap around the block. But the vibrant scene (soundtracked by DJs) is worth it, as is the food. Try the carbonara pizza, loaded with guanciale, parmigiano, parsley, and a roasted egg: the chef's kiss meme definitely applies here."
