Amazing service! Our waiter helped us pick out each dish. Very knowledgeable about the menu. Picked us out a great wine! We sat outside where they have air conditioner fans so it was very pleasant. Food was delicious! I would go back for another girls night, ambiance was perfect.
Appetizer: balloon bread and Risotto balls, both amazing and come with great dips
Caesar salad: well dressed, crisp, and delicious!
Margarita pizza: not my favorite, didn’t have the fresh basil on top. Probably wouldn’t recommend.

Relaxed environment, simple menu, great wine options, attentive staff. Reasonable priced to make it easy to come back over and over. Food feel with good ingredients and carefully cooked.

Porta’Vino looks and feels like a fancy restaurant, but it’s surprisingly affordable! The calamari and shrimp appetizers are very good. I really enjoyed the salmon entree! The employees are super kind and have exceptional customer service!

Delicious. The house salad was amazing. The wild boar bolognese and the butternut squash ravioli were standout entrees. The short rib was delicious but not as good as the others. The boozy shake was a great dessert. Overall an incredible experience.

3 of us went on a perfect patio weather kind of nite. No humidity =) This place is located in a revamped warehouse and the outside patio use to be the loading dock. We thought the place was neat until the trains kept a rolling all dinner long lol There was a guy that really enjoyed his wine experience because every time a train rumbled by he proceeded to scream. The trains are really loud. This is a wine n dine place more so focus on the wine. BYOB w $12 corkage fee. But none of us could drink that day lol so to the food. The $12 balloon pita is waaay over priced by $8 bucks. The truffle pasta at $29 again over priced. Never ordering any of those items again. Just so you understand me n more about the $$ value reasoning. There is an egg tart in Vegas i would pay $45 just to eat one. Worth every dime. So if it is amazing or at least really good then im happy to pay it every time. The other dishes we liked. The fried shrimp was done well. Coconut pie was yummy. Service was fantastic!! Overall one friend said he wouldn't come back. Two of us said we would to drink wine.

We had a great time! Every dish we ordered was wonderful! Our server Isidro was superb! Restaurant offers wine and cocktails but you can bring your own favorite wine ???? or beer if you wish. Just be aware of corkage fee of $12.
It was our first time dining at this restaurant, but we definitely coming back! ????

This place was buzzing when we walked in, and after trying some of the dishes I understand why. The appetizers are worth it. For the main dish we tried the off menu truffle pasta - ‘twas fantastic. Cooked and flavored to perfection. Impressed by the speed at which our meals were delivered, without the sacrifice to quality. Looking forward to a return!

Each time we have been to Porta Vino (4-5 times) the service is amazing! Constantly getting waters refilled, wine refilled, orders in a timely manner and check service right when we want it. We have also celebrated a few special occasions here and been graciously provided with "adult" alcohol infused milkshakes and they are SO GOOD. I would highly recommend the crispy shrimp appetizer, Seabass main course, and adult milkshake as dessert :) (my friend would highly recommend the citrus salmon main, and the Long Island steak- THE MAC N CHEESE IS TO DIE FOR. literally. I've tried it!!!) and BYOB so no complaints about enjoying your OWN bottle of fancy wine for a low price :) If you’re thinking about trying this place out, DO IT. I bet you’ll come back again, too!

My new favorite restaurant! Porta’Vino had friendly and amazing staff. A big thank you to Francisco who gave us a great wine bottle suggestion as well as menu item recommendations. The restaurant has a great wine selection, but you are also allowed to bring your own wine bottle for a cork fee. Food items are reasonably priced and the patio area is really nice! Loved that they put our wine bottle on display after we wrote on it. I suggest you make reservations ahead of time. We will definitely be back. Thank you Porta’Vino!

I came here for a thank you dinner for the organization I'm a part of. The place was pretty awesome. We had a 3 course meal with 3 different appetizers prior to the salad. All were real delicious. From their 5 cheese meatballs, strawberry with candied pecans lemon vinaigrette salad to the Wild Boar Bolognese all of it was delicious. Not phenomenal but pretty good. I did really enjoy the Bolognese though and it was real rich. As for the dessert I got the coconut cream pie. In print it says their "#1 dessert," and being a fan of coconut I definitely wanted to try it despite not really liking pie. I was disappointed. Maybe because I don't like pie, but the extreme amount of coconut shavings, and pie base layered with coconut shredding was just way too much, and I love my coconut! The cream part was okay but wasn't a big fan. If the pie had a coconut pudding/fruit filling that would have been a nice touch. Otherwise the service and wine was an amazing touch to the evening!
