    Beet salad
    Alina H.

    My husband and I are new to the area. Without solid NYE plans, we decided to have dinner at Del Porto before seeing where the night would take us. The meal started off in a great note with our server Sean. Not only was he knowledgeable about the menu, but funny and truly enthusiastic about his job. For the holiday, the chef provided guests with a complimentary amuse bouche of beet-feta salad. Even in ten complimentary sample, Sean went back to the kitchen to grab my husband a plate that did not have bacon, as he does not eat pork. He also ensured to point out pork in all things we ordered and placing it on the side of dishes to ensure we could share the meal. We ordered the short ribs and half portions of the pumpkin carbonara and house made cavatelliEverything was excellent and even tastes great as leftovers the next day. Portions were incredibly generous! I still think the star of the show was our white bean artichoke dip. Garlicky, briney and smooth. We sopped it up with the tasty toast points and took some home for toast the next day. The apple crostini with vanilla ice cream finished off our meal on a sweet note. The natural flavors of this he fruit and real vanilla really came through. As a seasonal flavor, we are looking forward to coming back when the restaurant offers another seasonal selection. We had the apple cider mojito and boulevardier as our cocktails. Truly excellent meal, service and setting.

    In town for a catch-up dinner with my siblings and this place was on someone's radar. Not a ton of Yelp reviews yet - and honestly - they were pretty mixed. But the overall average was still an impressive 4 stars so ..... here we are! And we were very glad we came. From the beginning the staff were welcoming, friendly, professional and attentive. I sampled one of their specialty cocktails - Cacciavite - I believe was the name. Refreshing, vodka-based, Cointreau enhanced citrus drink. Kudos to Rebekah for making a very nice cocktail. After that it was the house Isosceles Red that was perfect for the remainder of my meal. Between the three of us we sampled a couple appetizers - Tuna Crudo & a White Bean, hummus-like app - both of which were very nicely done and covered a pretty broad spectrum of different tastes and textures. We then had three of their salads - all of which had a distinctive set of flavors and all very good. Honestly, just close your eyes and drop your finger and wherever it lands it will be something good. Following that we had two entrees and my favorite was the Cavatappi with Italian sausage and I want to say some truffle oil was lurking around in there. It was "Lick your plate" good. Nice evening, nice atmosphere. If they would do something to absorb some of the sound as the place filled up that would be a bonus. We found ourselves talking louder as the night went on. It's a solvable problem and don't let that keep you away. Great spot. Would definitely return...

    House Made Cavatelli

    Ate here after a graduation. Everything was delicious. From the appetizer, to the cocktails, to the dessert. Very happy and very full. We had the white bean dip to start along with a charcuterie spread. So good. All the meat, cheeses, and veggies were good. The white bean dip was so good with the bread that came with it. I had the vegetable lasagna and my friend had the cavatelli. Both were good. I didn't even miss the meat. I am a carnivore but this veggie dish was good. I would absolutely get again. Had the gelato and cookie bowl for dessert. And the delacato and another cocktail. Can't remember the name. Has tahin on the rim. But both good. Highly recommend.

    Food and service was good quality and was expected at the type of restaurant. Only thing that wasn't superb was the quality of the steak.

Located in a beautifully repurposed home in downtown Covington, this charming spot exceeded our expectations from the moment we arrived. We were greeted by a friendly hostess and promptly shown to our table in one of the restaurant's small but thoughtfully decorated dining rooms. We started with the house-made whipped ricotta at our server's suggestion. Lightly topped with rosemary honey and served with grilled ciabatta, it was absolutely delicious. For our entrées, my wife ordered the Chicken Molli while I chose the Pork Cheek Marsala. Both dishes were phenomenal. Unfortunately, we didn't save room for dessert, so I guess we'll just have to return, which I'm sure won't disappoint my wife in the slightest. When we received the bill we were both surprised because we had expected it to be significantly higher than it was based on the service and quality of the food. The attentive staff, inviting atmosphere, and excellent food all help make this place stand out. We're already looking forward to our next visit.

Marcello's has an upscale, yet very comfortable, persona and excellent service that combined for an elegant dining experience. Before dinner cocktails were refreshing and we then enjoyed Caesar salad and tomato basil soup before our main courses of chicken parmigiana and chicken molli, both of which were tasty in a traditional way. A tasty cannoli followed up. My wife enjoyed a Pinot Grigio with dinner, and I a very full bodied Cabernet Sauvignon, which was the chef's evening's special recommendation. Marcello's has our recommendation for a special night out.

Her communication was exceptional throughout, and she consistently went above and beyond to ensure every detail was thoughtfully handled.

She was incredibly flexible, creating and adjusting different layout options depending on weather scenarios, and always made us feel confident that everything would come together seamlessly no matter the circumstances. One of the most memorable parts of the planning process was the tasting Cate arranged for us--it was beautifully done and helped us feel completely confident in our menu selections.

The space was transformed beautifully, the food was outstanding, the drinks were excellent, and the service was impeccable.

Ashleigh not only had the low down on the best foods to order, but she kept up with our table of 5 like we were beloved family. Everything was sooooo good tonight.

Our waitress was friendly, but the service felt a little awkward at times. As for the food, what we ordered didn't really stand out.

The best thing we tried was actually the calamari it was tasty and definitely the highlight of our meal. Not a terrible experience, just not great. For the price and the options in the area, we'd probably choose somewhere else next time.
