“Authentic”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed June 25, 2012

I just found Italians to be the kind of people who say 'If we are going to do it, then we will do it right', and that is what Porto Antico is all about.

I saw my pizza get made from scratch, laying out the dough to the fresh ingredients and local vegetables, herbs etc, to being put into the proper stone fire oven. The healthiest, tastiest and best pizza I have ever had.

Definitely going back. Well recommended to couples, families and friends.

“Excellent food but pricey and a bit quiet”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed July 31, 2011 via mobile

No doubt the food here was of the highest quality and tasted very authentic. However it is pricey and the service and atmosphere could be better

“Best meal of our 3-week trip!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed June 14, 2011

Our hotel clerk recommended this restaurant and we went back and hugged her! The elegant (but comfortable) decor, the delightful staff, and the incredible food made for a meal to remember. My dad had the fish stew and it was chock full of every type of seafood you could imagine and an excellent broth. My sister and I had pasta/seafood dishes that were the perfect flavor and amount. Waiter suggested an excellent wine to accompany our meal. Can't wait to return!

La ringrazio per la visita ma ormai dopo anni di ristorazione penso che il 'POCO' o il 'TANTO' è diventata una valutazione puramente soggettiva. La logica vuole, pertanto l'oggettività, che poco= buono=costoso. Detto ciò mi dispiace che non si sia sentita a proprio agio ma penso che la cordialità sia una delle nostre prerogative pertanto la riattendo sperando in suo giudizio migliore. Un caro saluto Maria
