Italian inspired cuisine in a charming and beautiful country setting with outdoor dining all summer and a covered heated tent in the winter. Our stone terrace with large fireplace nestled between aromatic herb and flower gardens makes for a beautiful setting year around.

Upon booking, please select either an indoor or outdoor table. "Standard" refers to an indoor table. If an outdoor table is not listed, the patio may be booked at that time. Please call us directly if your preference is not listed.

Our tent is down for the summer! Tables on the patio are covered by umbrellas for protection from sun and in the case of rain. In the case of inclement weather, we will do our best to accommodate outdoor bookings indoors based on availability.

Take out from 4:30pm to 8:00pm daily and can be ordered by calling us at (804) 741-4800.

    I chose the Portico for dinner for my team after a long day of site visits. We're not local, so we took a chance on it based on recommendations. The team was so impressed by the charm, and I'm sure it looks even better when it's not dark out! Our server was professional, made great recommendations, and picked up on our cues. The food was excellent. Great find!!

    Food and service were excellent. Ambience was less than desired due to a couple of extremely loud large groups.

    The Portico dinner was excellent - a good selection of food and very high quality. Excellent service - we were in the heated and covered outdoor area - a little noisy, but comfortable, and the good food more than made up for the noise. Reasonably priced by today's standards and a truly pleasant and satisfying experience. We would heartily recommend Portico!
