Our family was driving through this very quaint and lush residential neighborhood when we caught a glimmer of this restaurant out of the corner of our eye. We looked it up because if you know us, we're always looking for new and exciting places to eat. We found that Portico is a gorgeous Italian restaurant with a surprisingly large indoor dining space and exceptional outdoor dining option. The ambiance is exquisite. They have a respectable bar and their menu, which may be seasonal, has quite the innovative menu with no shortage of delicious options. Their attention to details did not go unnoticed. The taste was refined and the presentations were spot on. We highly recommend this place for memorable and intimate family meal.
I always look forward to having dinner here because it is truly an experience. Not only is the food authenticity Italian, fresh and delicious, but the atmosphere is warm, intimate and inviting . I personally enjoy the patio in the summer, but it's available all year round .
I ordered the Manhattan cocktail, caprese and homemade manicotti with marinara sauce. So light and delicious. I also ordered the limoncello cake dessert. (We saved room for dessert and took home leftovers from dinner)
My friend ordered eggplant puntinesca, and chocolate ice cream dessert.
We will be talking about this dinner for days!
Make reservations! Friendly staff and owner💕
Buon Appettito!

Excellent atmosphere and attentive service. Drink orders were brought promptly. Kitchen service was also exceptionally fast. I sampled a friend's fried artichoke appetizer which was quite flavorful. I had the burger and fries for my entree. It was definitely a cut above. The bun was fresh baked, most likely onsite. The burger was grilled perfectly to order with a well balanced blend of fat to lean. Produce was fresh and good quality. Fries were fresh cut and just crisp. Expansive bar and wine list.
