Food was excellent and so was the service. I would go back just for the artichoke heart appetizer alone, it was so good. Small restaurant and every table was full but did not feel like we were packed inside, which was really nice. If I had to give one critique, it would be that the pizza crust was floppier than I expected, especially the fried pie. I expected it to be much crispier which would have made it perfect.. still tasted good though!

This place is very tight, very small. Waited 30 minutes for a table with reservations. We waited at the bar which was fine, but I do notice they cater to the locals much more, locals who come in 15 minutes after us still get seated first. We ordered the Burrata appetizer which was great. Espresso Latte was strong and nice. Short Rib pasta was lacking in seasoning, needed alot more flavor and salt. Our waiter was very nice, But I would not come back here.

Wonderful place! Celebrated my friends birthday here and we had a lovely experience! Food was excellent, drinks were on point and the ambiance was great! I would highly recommend!

This is genuinely one of the best restaurants i’ve ever been to. Ambiance is great, food is even better. The past two times my wife and I ate here we were served by Raphael. Raphael is an awesome guy. Love this place so so much. Amazing is an understatement!!

They have the best-fried artichoke pizza and tiramisu. My drinks were on point. I can't wait to return to enjoy the many pasta dishes.

Porto is a true hidden gem. The food is consistently amazing—I’ve never had a dish I didn’t love. The gnocchi is a must-try: light and pillowy. Have you ever tasted a cloud before? Would you like to? On top of that, every plate is beautifully presented—clearly made with care and attention to detail, which makes the meal feel even more special. The atmosphere is warm and full of charm. The front of the restaurant is bright and decorated with fun Italian touches, while the back offers a cozier, more romantic vibe—complete with a chandelier, twinkling lights, and a spotlighted painting of Marilyn Monroe. There's also a cute little bar that’s perfect for a casual drink. Service is always top-notch. Alejandro has been my server every time, and he’s fantastic—friendly, welcoming, and just the right amount of outgoing. Highly recommend for date nights, dinner with friends, or anyone looking for great Italian food in a lovely setting.

My boyfriend and I love this place!! The whole place is a vibe… all the artwork, the big garage door that fully opens up, the pizza oven, the music!

I arrived at Porto at 8:15pm on a Tuesday night. And was actually seated promptly. 28 minutes later, at 8:43pm, after no one came to take my order, brought water, or even just acknowledged my presence, I left Porto. Never to return again.

Great spot for food and ambiance, but a bit pricey due to the location. You won't get a bad meal here and it's best to call ahead of time and reserve as it tends to get busy on certain nights. FYI: Parking is a bit tricky.

First and foremost, the outside of this restaurant was super cute and it was appealing to walk into. We had dinner reservations for two at around 7:30 on a Friday night and it was busy but not overwhelming. Our waiter was incredibly friendly and answered all of our questions. We ordered the burrata and shared it. It was an amazing unique take on a traditional appetizer. I also had the carcioffi fritti (artichoke hearts) and thoroughly enjoyed them. For my entrée I had the Caccio al Pepe. It tasted as delicious as it looked. It's no wonder everyone kept ordering it. I can't even remember what my husband had because I was so busy enjoying my meal but he was satisfied. I wish we had room for any desserts or additional food like the pizzas which looked cooked to perfection with fresh toppings and from the people ordering around us I'm sure that they tasted delicious. Next time we go I'll definitely be trying some of the pizzas. There was a vast wine menu from which I ordered a glass and my husband got the smoke whiskey.

First review of the new year and this place did not disappoint. I randomly added this restaurant to my must eats and I am so glad that I did. The restaurant has classic yet sophisticated upscale ambiance. Service was impeccable and the food....creative, flavorful, authentic, left me wanting to order more just because! We started off with amazing cocktails: Aperol Spritz & the Picante. Appetizer, we tried their Melanzana Stack and Pizza: Proscuitto E Arugula! Reservations are highly recommended because the restaurant is on the smaller side but it is worth the wait!

Food: 4/5 Service: 3.5/5 Vibes: 5/5 This place is pricey and gets busy quickly. My friends and I sat outside when there was still warm weather. Because we were outside, I think we got checked on less by our server. It was a good thing we didn't have any side requests that night. The serving sizes can look small, so don't be fooled. Our fairly average to large appetites barely finished these portions. Overall, the sentiment was good from each of my friends (Pappardelle Al Pesto Di Pistachio, Spicy Rigatoni in Grappa Sauce). I got the Frutti Di Mare, and you can bet on a good amount of seafood. I will admit the sauce was fishier than I anticipated, but I still enjoyed the dish.

As much as I love the ambiance and the food, I think the price is a bit high especially for their pasta items. Our waiter recommended us a $40 short ribs with Fetuccini, while the noodle is cooked perfectly al dente , and the sauce is tasty, I know I will not order this dish again and you shouldn't if thought you will get some big chunks of short ribs served with your pasta. The short rib was shredded and they only give you very little so you barely taste any meats in there, this dish is overpriced to me to say the least. I think I will just stick to pizza next time. They charge 3.5% fee when you use credit card payment.

After a delicious first experience, I returned again with my mom. The service was ABYSMAL. I left feeling so disappointed and dejected that it's taken me two weeks to write this. The manager (owner possibly?) essentially stared at us for 20 minutes before offering us a table (we had a reservation and were still ignored). When we were finally seated it was another 20 minutes before a waiter came out. We actually got our first food dish BEFORE my aperol spritz even came. How can a restaurant serve you pasta before they even could bring you a beverage? At the end of the dinner we waited so long for the check to arrive that I just handed to waiter my card the second I got eyes on him because he must have been stoned or just incredibly incompetent. I also asked the waiter if the drinks could be comped since we didn't get them until 30 minutes after being seated. He came back to us and told us the manager said no (did the manager say no or was he too lazy to ask.. I guess we'll never know). I can understand if you are understaffed and extremely busy, but both didn't seem true at the time and the manager was one of the rudest restaurant owners I have come across. I will never be returning here and will ensure that my peers do not as well.

This is our favorite Italian restaurant in NJ. The fried artichokes appetizer, pork belly pizza, and carbonara pasta are to die for. The staff are friendly and attentive. The indoor vibe is classy, clean, and welcoming. We love to dine in as well as get takeout. If you haven't tried Porto, you are really missing out.

What just happened... We were staying close by and Porto was across the way. We did not expect this establishment. The outdoor curb appeal alone is on me over. It was a cooler summer evening and the front was open to outdoor seating. Seats were filled and people were standing around chatting. We ordered to-go, so we did not get the "full" experience, but based on my gaze around .. people were happy. Music was bumping and staff were friendly. Ordered two pies.. one cheese and one margarita. Fantastic. Small location, gem. Absolutely go here. Dress up, grab a date or friend and enjoy. Not one to miss.

The short rib fettuccini was amazing, service was prompt even with a full house. The ambiance felt like modern Italian and its was all great

Food here was really delicious and made me curious to come back and try their other dishes. To start we got the Vesuvio pizza which is stuffed with ricotta and soppressata. I loved the texture and fluffiness of their crust but couldnt really taste the cheese or sauce or soppressata. I would maybe try another pizza. Pastas: we got the pesto pappardelle which was the star of the night. Pesto was so delicious and not too overwhelming. Even non pesto lovers ate this dish up. Next was the gnocchi alla sorrentina. Basically gnocchi in red sauce and cheese. Texture of gnocchi was really nice and soft, not floury at all but, flavors were pretty basic. wouldnt get again. Lastly we got the spaghetti carbonara which almost tied for first place. it was so creamy and rich. Noodles were PERFECTLY cooked and had the perfect amount chew making it so much fun to eat. The dish did get a bit sickening halfway through due to how rich it was. Dessert Tiramisu was surprisingly soooo good. I havent had a tiramisu that uses lady fingers that I liked but this one was addicting. The cream layers were so thick and it had the perfect coffee taste. The panna cotta on the other hand...not the greatest. It was their dessert of the week so I gave it a try but it was a bit bland without much sweetness and had a very oily layer on top. Maybe skip that one? Overall the staff was super friendly and ambiance was perfect for a celebratory night.

Booked a reservation at 7:30 for a date night with my girlfriend . We got there and had to wait 10-15 to talk to the host. Checked in with the host finally, and then there were no tables. Had us standing for 25-30 minutes by the door.(very tight space). Now my mood isn't the best. Finally at 8:05 the table was ready. Sat us by the door where it was freezing and had to wear my coat the entire time. Food was eh. service was good. Server was very nice. Just felt like a series of unfortunate events and could've been handled better for someone who actually booked a reservation. Never had to wait more than 2 minutes in my life for a reservation. Order the spicy lobster linguine and the lobster tail was totally over cooked and tasted like rubber. Couldn't get dessert at this point. Not sure if I could recommend this place.

If you're looking for an Italian restaurant with a vibe then Porto is the place for you. Small inside but we were seated immediately on a Sunday evening. We started with fried artichoke hearts and shared a calzone. This dinner was absolutely superb. This was our first time to Edgewater but we will certainly go back to Porto. I recommend Porto 100%!

Best pasta I have had in a long time. SPAGHETTI CACIO È PEPE CON FUNGHI - Recommend for cheese lovers:) place is on a smaller side and cute. We had no issue to get a table for lunch at 12.30 weekend but imagine that's not always a case. Service was good.

If you're looking find natural volcanic soil enabled sweetness in the tomatoes of a classic Neopolitan style Italian shop, Porto isn't quite the deal. Enter this buzzing spot on a Wednesday evening & we are wowed by the nice ambiance and drooling over other customers gobbling up their wood fired pies. As we get table, we decide to get a spread. For appetizers we have the lasagna di verdure & melanzana stack. While they look tempting, we found the salt to be lacking & an almost bland taste. Lasagna barely has any vegetables or pasta, just a dollop of tomatoes lacking the sweetness or savoriness. I'd skip the appetizers tbh. However........the pizzas are pretty good. We had the Bufalina & Tartufona - both were tasty. Didn't bother for desserts as nearby Cafe Archetypus was more appealing. Service is nice overall. Porto~ decent spot. Go for the pizza, only.

This was an unexpected wonderful experience! We came across this place after our initial dinner plans fell through. The service was so great! Gianna was so attentive and just so pleasant and fun to talk to! She really took care of us! Our food was so flavorful and scrumptious, we left in a damn coma! Our table ate the Spicy Rigatoni (so yum we forgot to take a photo!), Margherita pizzas (probably one of the best we've had), and the Gnocchi allá Sorentino (the sauce was such perfection and we also used it as a dipping sauce for pizza crust!). Dessert was also quite delicious! We gave in to the zeppoles - no regrets! They were fried so perfectly. We will surely be back! Thank you for a great night!

Nice interior but it is small - definitely recommend reservations. Service was good. We started with an arugula salad which has poached pears, blue cheese and walnuts. The arugula was well dressed but it felt like the cheese and walnuts were so finely chopped you didn't get to taste them. Also, the pears tasted like canned beets. We tried 2 pizza's - classic margherita with pepperoni which was good and La Montanara which is a fried pizza which I found very lacking in flavor. I did not like the fried pizza at all. We had the nutella zeppoles which were also good. I was in between a 3 and 4 stars for this restaurant but went with the 3 because I probably wouldn't go back. I am a tough grader on salads.

Wow! Porto, WOW! The only reason why I'm angry is because I live so close, and yet never knew this place existed. But moving forward, this will become my personal staple. I came to celebrate and early birthday dinner and a closing as well, Porto made sure I was happy in every single direction. The food was AMAZING! We ordered their Brick Oven's pizza which was delicious (not one crumb left behind), followed by Gnocchi (which btw, I spent half the evening teaching my friend how to pronounce it after hearing guh-nakki, that hit to the core! lol). Anyway, the Gnocchi was something else, so delicious and finished strong with desserts. The ambience was super nice, we were seating outside, the weather was super nice and the service was excellent! I cannot wait to tell my friends about it and come again to try the rest of the menu. This was a hit! :)

Great Italian restaurant in North Bergen! I ordered the Vesuvio stuffed pizza ($23), which was a unique concept, as it was basically two thin layers of dough on top of each other with some stuff in between. The mozzarella was stretchy and delicious. The dough was nice and soft and the pizza wasn't overly salty. I also tried the Pappardelle Bolognese ($26), which was tasty as well. The pasta was cooked to a perfect chewy yet soft consistency and the veal bolognese sauce was good too. To finish it off, I got a cannoli, which was a great end to the meal - so much yummy cream filling with a Nutella drizzle. The only point for improvement was that the cannoli shell was a bit too hard. Bonus points for offering free dessert if you write a Yelp review and follow them on Instagram. The restaurant has a nice indoor space as well as an outdoor seating area. Our waitress was super friendly, helpful, and attentive. The service speed was fine. Overall, I would definitely recommend Porto by Antonio if you are looking for a quality Italian restaurant in the North Bergen area.

Food is average. Minimal Italian menu- no chicken parm, no eggplant parm, no chicken Marsala etc. minimal meat dishes. Was forced to sit outside in the extreme heat and humidity, had to ask for our waiter. Real hospitality would offer the patrons sitting int extreme heat and humidity a free drink. Then when tables opened inside they never offered for you to come inside. Our appetizer took forever and both orders didn't come out at the same time. When we asked about our other appetizer they said the kitchen was busy. Then two out of the 3 main courses came out , 10 min later the 3rd came out WTF? Lastly the desert tiramisu was horrible. It was watery !! Was it butter? Who knows!! would not go back

I give it B- for the ambiance (the music is too loud to sit inside and the outside section overlooks parked cars). The pizzas were delicious though. Would have dinner there again but will definitely order a takeout.

From the very first encounter with the charming and attentive Diego, who graciously took my drink order, to the moment I settled the bill with a contented sigh, my visit to Porto's by Antonio restaurant in Edgewater, New Jersey was a culinary journey that left me thoroughly enchanted. Nestled within a captivating indoor/outdoor dining space, both options exuded a timeless elegance and provided an atmosphere that was as fashionable as it was inviting. As I perused the menu, my eyes were immediately drawn to the Vesuvio pizza, and I can confidently say that my taste buds were in for an unforgettable treat. The crust, perfectly crisp and golden, offered a tantalizing foundation for the symphony of flavors that awaited me. Each bite revealed a harmonious medley of premium ingredients, expertly combined to create a culinary masterpiece. The robust tomato sauce, rich and tangy, danced playfully with the melty mozzarella and perfectly seasoned toppings, transporting me to a realm of pure pizza bliss. Porto's by Antonio restaurant truly deserves its title as a hidden gem, a haven for those seeking an exceptional dining experience. Whether you are a local or a traveler passing through, this culinary treasure is a destination that should be on everyone's radar. The combination of delectable cuisine, attentive service, and an elegant ambiance makes this establishment a must-visit for any discerning food lover.

Had a great lunch here today. Maybe this was a really good Resturant before but it's got work to do. The chef is Venezuelan so probably does not eat Italian food daily. The zupe lacked taste...it was canned tomatoes and no taste of garlic, peperoncino or enough salt. On a good note the seafood tasted fresh and tender. The Octopus carpaccio was quite good and so was the focaccia (but the focaccia was a bit under cooked...tasted raw dough). The wine selection needs a lot of work. The ambience is festive with dance hits blasting. Definitely a fun place that has potential. But they need maybe new ingredients and definitely a new head chef. If you don't brown the garlic in the oil first you cannot go further with Italian food. Oh and before I forget...service here is excellent!!

I would def give this place a 4.5! We really, really enjoyed the vibe and the food. Fresh ingredients and good flavors. We started with the eggplant appetizer. It was good. Next, we ordered the mortadella and pistachio pizza and the pappardelle bolognese. Both were absolutely delicious! Also, we had the Nutella zeppoli's. Yum! Yum! Highly recommend for dessert! I would have given this place a 5 if the appetizer came out warmer, which it didn't. And if we didn't have to add some additional cheese or salt, to up some of the already good flavors. But you can't go wrong here and these are small things. We will be back, no doubt!

4 stars for dining in and 1 star for delivery Went twice.. once during dinner time and once during lunch.. both times were really good... Spaghetti cacio e Pepe con funghi ($33) and they put on a mini show for you. It's fun to watch and the pasta is good. I liked the texture of the noodles and flavor was good! I tried it twice and depending on who your person is they give diff amount of cheese. I like when they give you more cheese lol.. Classic margherita pizza and it was good! Pork belly tartufo pizza (red sauce) and it was good but didn't expect the pork belly to taste a lot more like bacon. I feel like it would have been better to describe it as bacon. It was good but not really what we expected. I think this could be good on both red or white pizzas Pappardelle bolognese (ordered delivery) and would not recommend delivery. Pasta was not mixed well with the sauce. Seemed promising when we opened it but couldn't mix it cus the pasta stuck together and felt like there wasn't enough sauce. I gave 1 star for delivery cus I asked for hot pepper and parm cheese and they did send that. But I asked for utensils and didn't even get that it at least I got the hot pepper and parm. I would try this again at the restaurant but not for delivery. I wonder if it's best to just order pizza for delivery..? I would think they would've figured a better way to deliver the pasta

OMG!!! We random ran into the restaurant, with the decor and a little fiat in front we thought, oh dear it must be $$$ But no... let's give it a go. We were serve immediately with a table for 5, we started with appetiser and ordered 4 pizzas. The reason so is that pasta is a lot more pricey. Although that's the case, the pizza didn't disappointed at all!!!! As it was cooked via Neapolitan wood-burning style, The crust was thin and crispy and it is so authentic that both me & my husband agreed that it brings back the taste buds from tasting pizza in Italy but with a twist of authentic taste. The 5 of us were able to finish off everything!!! I even ordered a tiramisu to go. Oh wow! The ladies figure were soaked so well with rum that every bite you can taste the rum gushing out. The only thing that I would say is the service. I have to say they were very attentive and serve quickly. However, every time they refill my water, they decided to drag and spill a trial of water on the table, to my napkin and down the floor (luckily not my outfit). This happened at least 3 times, if it is part of the service style, ok.... But just not expected. Wear a poncho next time when you visit the place.

Love love their food in here! Been here thrice, and they never disappoint!! Went here on a rainy Monday, but it was actually a great time to visit as it wasn't too crowded, and was so nice to just see raindrops. Love the eggplant stack--love it so much that we want to recreate it at home! Pizza was on point, can never go wrong with San Marzano tomato sauce, artichokes, mushrooms, kalamata olives, mozzarella cheese, ham and basil. We also lovedddd the pesto pistachio pasta! Was worried at first that my husband won't like it, but he approves! Will definitely go back. Would appreciate a good distance from the next table as they were pretty close, especially the ones close to the window. But had a great experience and highly recommend to people!

Been here twice & the pasta is always a 10/10! I've tried the pistachio pasta and the spicy rigatoni and both were fantastic. The music is always upbeat & the staff are welcoming. Great spot to enjoy for solo dining or a night out with friends or a plus 1. Can't wait to try a new dish soon

This is a neighborhood jam, and it's the best Italian restaurant in the entire NJ. I highly recommend this place. Food: 1. Spaghetti Cacio E Pepe - dream come true - spaghetti made in a cheese bowl- see the video 2. Pepperoni pizza w/ red sauce- best pizza ever Service: very friendly by all native Italians Ambiance: very small and authentic- it reminds me a Sicilian restaurant in Italy.

This is a great restaurant , very cute decor and perfect for date night. Service was good, not too bad even when it got really busy. Food came out pretty quick. The cacio Pepe was done table side and it was delicious. The spicy squid ink pasta was the best seafood pasta I've had. Fried artichokes were heavy and a perfect start to our dinner. Portions weren't that big for the price but delicious. Ended up ordering an arugula and prosciutto pizza as a dessert and it was a perfect end to the meal. Definitely will be back to try other dishes.

Authentic Italian Restaurant. The pasta is home-made and is done very well and the pizza is Napoletana style. The service is great and the waiter and waitress and very friendly and professional. The only place in the area where an Italian enjoys eating Italian food and pizza.

Excellent food and service! The 3 of us ordered a variety to share. We started with the octopus - which was cooked perfectly, had great flavor. The eggplant stack adorned with Aruba was amazing and gets a10 for presentation. The pizza was cooked/wood fired perfectly with just the right amount of ingredients. Finally the last was the pesto/pistachio pasta. It was delicious and very rich for my taste but the guys didn't have any trouble finishing. They have a nice selection of wine and spirits. The restaurant is small and quaint but has outdoor seating as well.

Best pizza in West NY. Cozy little spot with amazing food. They also have really good charcuterie boards but I unfortunately didn't get a photo. Would recommend this to anyone in Weehawken/Hoboken area. This was way better pizza than I've ever had in NYC. Hands down the best, 11/10. I've been so many times & cannot wait to go back next time I'm in town. The restaurant is also super clean & the staff is friendly. Food comes out super quick. Can't say enough good things about this place.

We had their fried pizza and wow was it delicious. I can't comment on any of their other offerings, but it seems to be a popular place so I'm guessing the rest of their menu delivers on toast as well. It's a small space inside with some tables outside, but right on the street, so not much on ambiance. I would definitely go back for the friend pizza.

What a delicious evening this was! Had a fantastic time as always at Porto. It's been some time since the last time I ate here. First off, reservation is always recommended due to its popularity to say the least. We did a walk in earlier to beat the dinner crowd; it was a good move. Ordered Arugula salad, Burrata cheese & prosciutto, pork belly, rigatoni, Campanelle with short ribs ragu, and few more dishes with some house wines & Shirley temples for non drinkers. Pasta was delicious with nice texture. Pork belly had a slight kick and sweetness from the sauce which worked great. We were celebrating a birthday. They brought out the sparklers for the birthday girl on the cake we brought in, perfect to end the evening with a big smile on the face. Until next time, cheers!

This place is overpriced and portions are tiny overall. The waitress that took our order was pleasant, but they did not check up on us at all after taking our order. The spicy burrata- $17- a lump of burrata cheese with honey and truffle and we were told it comes with focaccia but it came with like really thin pieces of bread. The cheese was good though. The margarita pizza - $18 - I was shocked how small their pizzas are. It tastes just average Linguine vongole - pasta was undercooked and clams were sandy. I would not recommend We ordered a dessert because on their website it says you can get a free dessert if you follow them on Instagram and write a 5 star review on Yelp (so their reviews are rigged). We got tiramisu. But we were told when we were paying the bill that the only free dessert we can get is zeppole or cannoli- you should state that on your website then -.- The place is tiny with all the tables SO close to each other. So don't go here if you're looking for a nice relaxing dinner. You will be sitting just inches away from a stranger. Since all the tables are so close together, we heard everything from the table next to us. The lady ordered their cacio e Pepe with NO mushroom. But when the order came out it had mushroom. She told them to take it back and the staff just took out the mushrooms from the pasta and did not remake it (not trustworthy this place). She brought it up again to the staff and they just denied it (liars) - the customer is always right. Retrain your staff!

Place was super cute the decore was very nice and trendy. Great vibes, would be perfect for a date night. The space isn't huge, but it worked just fine. Didn't have reservations I believe they don't take them, but our wait was only 25 mins which isn't bad for a Friday night. Service was amazing we had Victoria as our host/waitress and she went above and beyond to make sure we enjoyed ourselves. For apps we had the Melanzana Stack and the Frittelle with fresh ricotta both were delicious! For entrees I had the spaghetti cacio e Pepe con funghi! It's prepared tableside and just soooo worth it! Delicioso! Doing dry Jan so didn't try the wine or cocktails but I'll be back for sure!! My friend had the pappardelle Al pesto do pistacchio and she said it was amazing! Overall loved all of it! 10/10 recommend

small joint that doesn't take reservations, so if you're going during peak times, expect to wait. recently, went early for dinner around 530/6 on a weekday and had no issue being seated right away, but by the time we were leaving around 730, there was a small wait. parking is only street parking and quite limited. the food came out super quick, which i loved. maybe because they weren't too too busy when we showed. the burrata is delicious with the spicy honey and the truffle paste. i liked the fried artichoke a lot, a light coating, but a little greasy. the kale caesar is a nice large portion, and came with a mountain of shaved cheese - yum! i really liked the kale caesar a lot, the dressy is more on the vinegary/tangy side, which i enjoy. enjoy their pappardelle, i've gotten both the pesto and the bolognese and both are good. the pizza dough is chewy, in that really pleasing way -- good pizza!
