    We love the food and service at Il Porto. The staff are very attentive and the hosts make you feel very welcome. The menu is just the right size for everyone to find something and it’s all delicious! Seating is fairly tight so expect a higher noise level, but we love the ambiance, especially sitting window-side on the 2nd floor as people walk outside on King Street.

    I love that this restaurant feels different than the trendy places in the area. It is a classic restaurant - with tablecloths and S&P on the table. Experienced, thoughtful waitstaff and the ambiance made a delicious meal even more special. We ordered both of the specials which were excellent. The garlic bread - also a unique and delicious side is a great order to sop up the leftover sauce that comes with the meal. Hope to be back.
