Reviews
Great Italian restaurant with beautiful holiday decorations and great service. We enjoyed delicious gnocchi, pappardelle bolognese, and lobster spaghetti, as well as tasty old-fashioned and Aperol Spritz drinks.
This place is always a delight, and does not disappoint. Food is amazing and cannot go wrong with any dish. We loved the octopus carpaccio, of course accompanied by a focaccia, spicy burrata and the fried artichokes. The pastas and pizzas, they are all favorites. Our only issue, is that we always order too much as everything makes your mouth water. Great spot for a date, or for a family outing. The staff is very friendly and helpful.
The food is sensational, the service is top notch, and the atmosphere is perfect for those looking for an intimate dinner. Perfect date spot. We will be back here regularly. We started with a caprese, I had the papardelle bolognese, she had the eggplant lasagna, and we shared a tartufo gelato for dessert. Everything was to die for--we cleared our plates! The wine selection is also fantastic. Do not hesitate to make a reservation!
Server was attentive and nice, the cheese was good, the sauce was decent but the pizza dough was not to standard of a good neapolitan pizza. I had a margarita and a pizza fritta
They were both hard and dry like a cracker. Would be a much better taste if Caputo or a similar Italian flour was used.. But to the American taste buds this may be a ok dough.
I recently had the pleasure to have lunch at Porto by Antonio, and I must say, it has quickly become my absolute favorite restaurant in the area. This intimate eatery offers an exquisite experience that left a lasting impression on me.
From the moment I stepped inside, I was enveloped in a warm and inviting atmosphere. The cozy ambiance, combined with the friendly and attentive staff, immediately made me feel like a valued guest.
But let's get to the star of the show—the food. Porto by Antonio effortlessly captures the essence of Mediterranean cuisine with each delectable dish. From the first bite to the last, their food has a remarkable ability to touch the heart. The flavors are rich, authentic, and exceptionally well-executed, showcasing the chef's true passion for his craft.
The limoncello spritz. I can confidently say it is the best I have ever had. The perfect balance of zesty lemon and sparkling bubbles creates a refreshing and invigorating drink that perfectly complements any meal.
Every aspect of my dining experience at Porto by Antonio exceeded my expectations. The attention to detail, both in the presentation of the dishes and the seamless service, was exceptional. The staff went above and beyond to ensure that I had a memorable and satisfying time.
I would also like to commend the restaurant for their commitment to using fresh, high-quality ingredients. The menu boasts a diverse selection of dishes, accommodating various dietary preferences without compromising on taste. Whether you are a meat-lover or a vegetarian, there is something delightful for everyone.
Porto by Antonio is a restaurant that truly stands out from the crowd. The combination of its intimate ambiance, exceptional cuisine, and the heavenly lemoncello spritz create an experience that will linger in your memory long after the meal is over. I wholeheartedly recommend visiting this gem of a restaurant, and I guarantee you will not be disappointed.

This is a neighborhood jam, and it's the best Italian restaurant in the entire NJ. I highly recommend this place.
Food:
1. Spaghetti Cacio E Pepe - dream come true - spaghetti made in a cheese bowl- see the video
2. Pepperoni pizza w/ red sauce- best pizza ever
Service: very friendly by all native Italians
Ambiance: very small and authentic- it reminds me a Sicilian restaurant in Italy.
The restaurant is beautifully decorated & the food is fantastic. I tried the parppadelle, the fried pizza 🍕, the bacon appetizer 🥓 and arugula salad 🥗 the bacon was delicious and the fried pizza is always amazing. There is limited street parking available but this spot is worth checking out. Less of a wait if you stop by for lunch...
One of the best Italian restaurants I’ve tried in New Jersey. We came back to it many times. I highly recommend you guys to try their desserts it was so goood!!! The service was excellent too 💯
