Porto A Casa

Make a reservation because unless your luck is great, there is a line - and for a darn good reason! The food is fantastic and the staff are amazing. We've been once and I can promise you we're going again!

Wow wow wow! What a delicious experience!! Service was incredible and the food was to die for!!! Every meal brought to the table was delicious and the pasta was cooked perfectly ! The portion sizes are huge and the prices extremely fair for the quality and portions. I cannot wait to go back and try everything on the menu. Make sure to make reservations as the place is super tiny.

The food here is top notch and gives any restaurant on Preston St a run for their money. Very small restaurant so reservations are a must to avoid disappointment, they also have a brisk takeout clientele. Has entered my "top 5" fav restaurants in ottawa!

After hearing so many great things about this place, I finally made plans to go. Now I get it! Food was incredible and service top notch. I'm an attention-to-detail kind of person so when I get that in return I really appreciate it. I only ate half of my entree as I absolutely needed to save room for the tiramisu (which I'm glad I did!). I told the server the leftovers were "tomorrow's lunch" which upon delivering the takeout container to my spot, was labeled as such. So sweet! Already can't wait to go back!

The food and service was great. We like everything we ordered. The restaurant was cozy. My partner and I had a good time and would recommend the place.

My wife and I went here for the first time to enjoy a date night out. Immediately we were welcomed with bright, vibrant and inviting staff. Once we sat down, it felt as though we had been welcomed into an Italian home to enjoy a meal with family. The servers were phenomenal; the best I have personally experienced while eating in a restaurant. They were attentive without being overbearing, and gave my wife and I excellent recommendations on our food choices. The food was absolutely dazzling. Beautiful presentation that tastes as good as it looks. You truly get a taste of classic authentic Italian food here. On top of all that, the dessert was amazing as well. My wife and I can hardly wait until the next time we dine at Porto A Casa!

Very nice servers. I enjoyed the caramel cheesecake. The applies and entrees for me, have been hit or miss. Not sure if they have different chefs or if they just changed the recipes. Anyhow, my boyfriend loves their food so I will keep taking him to that place.

Honestly very disappointing, everyone recommended this place & I don’t see what the hype is about. The service itself was fine, but the food was the real letdown. The pasta tasted like it came straight from a freezer bag—definitely not fresh, definitely not authentic. For the rating, you’d expect homemade quality, but instead it was bland, rubbery, and completely underwhelming. Nothing on the plate felt vibrant or freshly made. Overall, it was something I could’ve made at home, lacking authenticity, and absolutely not worth the reputation people give it.
