"Some nights require a plan like you’re George Clooney in Ocean’s 11 and are about to rob an impenetrable casino. But the rest of the time, you just want the easiest option possible. On those nights, go to Porta. Over the course of a night, it evolves from a fun dinner spot to a full-on club. One minute, you’re sharing a pepperoni pizza with your three closest friends, and the next you’re out on the dance floor, sending someone you just met to go pick you up a drink from any of the three bars that are scattered throughout the huge space." - sydney mcelwee
"Porta is the largest restaurant in the whole city, so instead of spending your day cooped up in your 600-square-foot apartment, go get some pizza here and spend the day bar hopping between their three separate bars without having to put your parka on to change locations." - sydney mcelwee
"Porta offers four different types of reservations - sidewalk seating on Newark Ave, rooftop tables, rooftop bar seating for groups of two, and indoor dining. No matter which one you choose, you’ll have access to Neapolitan-style pizza, great cocktails, and sports on TV." - matt tervooren
"Porta is offering outdoor seating on its rooftop and sidewalk patio. As always, it’s a good option for cocktails and pizza with a few friends, especially if you don’t feel like waiting for a table at Razza a couple blocks away, Make a reservation through their website for a table any day of the week starting at 4pm (12pm on Sunday)." - hannah albertine, nikko duren, matt tervooren
"Arguably the restaurant that turned the Asbury dining scene around, Porta now serves hundreds of Neapolitan pies daily. The rest of the menu fills out with pasta, meatballs, and other Italian classics. Toward the end of the evening, the massive space becomes a nightclub." - Stefanie Tuder
