Always good and very consistent. Over the years I've only been disappointed twice by the sogginess of the fries. Other wise, no complains. It's a nice place to seat down and have a dinner as well. read more

Absolutely love this Italian restaurant and pizzeria! I've become a regular here due to the delicious food and outstanding service. Sometimes I come for a quick bite at the pizzeria: my favorites are the chicken rolls and grandma slices - seriously the BEST slice in Brooklyn! The restaurant side is cozy and rustic with a full bar and exposed brick.; It's so perfect for date night. The food is some of the most authentic Italian food I've had in N.Y. They have an extensive menu including brick oven pizza, pastas, seafood and entrees. I have tried so many different items at this point and absolutely whatever you order is guaranteed to be delish!!!! Highly recommended!!! read more

I order take out and have gone to Il Porto twice. The food is always awesome. Salads are fresh, not over dressed, very sizable, and great combo of ingredients. The chicken Tortalini soup is so good that I still order it when it's 90 degrees out. All the pizzas I've had there are awesome, but my current obsession is the margarita pizza. Sauce, cheese, basil, crust..... It's perfect. To top it all off, the service is excellent. Our server was very nice, knowledgeable, professional and knew the steps of proper service. The manager (pretty sure he's the owner) is always there and making sure everyone is happy. I had a pretty obnoxious request last time I was there, and I felt really bad asking, but the live band was really loud and I couldn't hear my bf on the other side of the table. Between our server and the manager/owner, they had the band to take a 15 minute break and turn down the volume on their amps when they came back. I was trying to apologize to the staff for making a rude request, but they were so nice about it, they just kept insisting that they wanted us to have the best experience possible and would do what it took to make us happy. And we definitely were. read more

Neighborhood place, great vibe. AMAZING PIZZA order/pick-up every single week. TIP: must-try ruccula prossciuto pizza read more

Stopped in to Vinny David's place. It was warm and inviting and the food was delicious. Great neighborhood spot

Best Pizza/Pasta joint in the neighborhood- no question. The Sicilian with custom toppings will rock your world. Delivery can get a little slow on the weekends- cause it's worth it :) read more

This place is great. My office is nearby and we order their pizza from seamless pretty regularly and it's always exceptional. Today was the first time we ordered a catered lunch and everyone was beyond satisfied. We had stuffed shells, baked ziti, meatballs, sausage and peppers, Caesar salad and cannoli. They also threw in some great Italian bread and a bruschetta pie for free. Everything arrived on time, warm and well packaged. The cannoli was out of this world! Great to know that there is reasonably priced delicious Italian catering nearby. read more

Il Porto's service is excellent and the food is excellent. I've had their rack of lamb twice, their seafood pizza twice, Brooklyn pizza, spinach salad with grilled chicken, sausage rolls, garlic knots and more and have never been disappointed. It gets better. Imagine not having to leave Brooklyn to have an intimate place to have dinner with your loved one and even have a family dinner and be serviced as if you're royalty. Thanks Il Porto, you are the best. BEVERLY O. read more

I can't say enough about this restaurant. Last Saturday was our third visit. Each time has been a wonderful experience, and I meant to write a review, but never got around to it. Well if the third time is a charm, then meeting the owner Victor, was certainly an added pleasure. Several birthday parties were in progress, but the service was as it has been in the past, fantastic. The food is excellent, from appetizer to desert. An added bonus is the Iron City Jazz Band that plays Thursday to Saturday. They are a joy to listen to, and I've downloaded one of their albums. I expect that our previous visits where we could get a table without a problem, will soon become more difficult, due to this incredible venue for food and music. read more

Their quality of food is on point sometimes. Their service sucks. I've been going there a lot for some time now and each year it seems like their service is getting worst and worst. Seems like they're more busy in their personal life's then they are in their restaurant. I would rather get my food delivered from there then go in their and pick it up read more

Grabbed a slice of plain on the way out from Steiner Studios. Very thin but nicely chewy crust. Excellent sauce. Best slice I've had in a while! read more

Excellent place for family, a date with your love or even solo. The staff will welcome you and cater to you. I went there on Friday night with my family and everyone was personally greeted and welcomed. We were served immediately and catered to the entire time we were there. I recommend IL Porto to anyone. read more

Before I review the food, Id like to take a second to review the people who work in this restaurant. I recently ordered food from il porto over the phone, giving my credit card information for payment. A week later, i had fraudulant charges on my card..during the month i had only ordered from il porto and another restaurant, one of which had asked for my 3 digits on back (a big no-no!) i had falsely believed this to be il porto since my order there was more recently. I felt violated and called to complain and get to the bottom of it. I spoke with Anthony, the son of the owner Vincent, and he was clearly shocked and upset by the allegation...in my anger I assured him I'd let people know about their business. I have him my information, and was soon called by Vincent, the owner. He was so professional, courteous, and graceful, even with my accusation of theft...he was worried about me wrongly damaging his reputation because he could guarantee me with 99% certainty that I was wrong (one can never be 100% sure). He promised me he would go in tomorrow and get to the bottom of it, and i told him I'd wait before doing anything brash until i knew for sure. I later got a call from my bank only to discover the culprit was the other restaurant...I was mortified!! I had just yelled at this nice man thinking he was lying...I guess I was just blind with anger...after recieving this news I called to apologize, it was the least I could do. Vincent, professional snd level-headed as he had been the whole time graciously accepted, even referring to my common name with his son and lightening the situation...and after all this he offered me to come in and have a meal on him! Could you believe it?? Make me feel and worse about it? Here is a guy who is offering me dinner after accusing him of being dishonest...i guess it kind of opened my eyes to stepping back and cooling down...think about what my accusations can result in, especially when im wrong. Im embarrased to order from them now, and it sucks bc their Brooklyn Pizza is seriously the best thing I've tasted this side of Italy...Vincent, Anthony, and the il porto crew, sorry again to have doubted you...your character is stronger than mine and your pizza is 2nd to none read more

This was my first time ordering from Il Porto and I was not disappointed. The delivery was in exactly 30 minutes as stated. The phone customer service was pleasant. I ordered the white brick oven pizza. I think they call it that because it has crack in it, it was that good. Their Cesare contained fresh romaine lettuce and real Parmesan cheese. The fried calamari was also delicious. I will definitely be checking out this restaurant for the dine in experience in the future. read more

I'm pretty happy with Il Porto. First, the ambiance is great. Love the Old World feel, the wood-burning smell, and the live guitar music. Wish they had booths, that would make everything perfect, but there probably isn't room. Second, the service is really great. They're very attentive and flexible. They were patient with my son. They made good wine suggestions. Third, the food is good. The bread basket- great. The brick oven pizzas- loved it. Got a butternut squash ravioli special once that was awesome. The fettucini al pesto was only ok, a little creamy for my taste. Wasn't floored by the Grandma slice, but maybe I need to try it again. All in all, a good go-to dinner place when I want some quiet conversation. read more

I didn't know I liked pizza until I ate here. Real Brooklyn pizza. The staff's great too. Grandma's slice--you won't regret it. read more

Best grandma pie and bellinis around. You can really taste the freshness of the ingredients. This place makes every other pizza joint in Brooklyn taste like Pizza Hut.... And we all know that tastes awful. read more

I always order pizza, the delivery is fast and courteous. I am Italian and the pizza is really like the Italian one, besides the americanized versions with chicken and other stuff whic we would never ever put on pizza. Definitely recommended, especially the classic pizza Margherita. After only ordering pizza we tried the other food...i was disappointed...caprese was kind of funny, not Italian at all, just americanized, don't recommend eating other food beside pizza. read more

Came to Il Porto for an early dinner date. I love the look. Exposed brick walls, quaint sidewalk eating in a low traffic area. There are over sized tinted glass bottles of EVOO and balsamic vinegar on the tables and of course, tea lights (my fave!) It wasn't yet sundown when I arrived and a waiter was going to each table with a torch, lighting the candles. Anyway, I ordered the chicken breast with sundried tomaotes and diced mushrooms and a side of linguine tossed in the mushroom/tomato medley. Good stuff. My date ordered the biggest, prettiest grilled chicken Caesar salad I had ever seen. Stuffed inside of a huge, crispy fried cheese??? flavored shell, his salad looked and tasted like a tropical flower bursting into bloom. This was my first time at Il Porto and when I looked around me, everyone was ordering pizzas. I didn't find out that pizza was the "thang" here until it was too late. Whole traditional and brick oven pizzas topped with some of everything were on almost every table. Definitely going to see what all the pizza hype is about the next time I dine here. Il Porto pours a delightful glass of Prosecco too. read more

Ok, so they fuck up orders sometimes, but Il Porto has continued to deliver divine pizza with friendly phone service. It may take an hour, but daaamn. Granma Pie with pepperoni is like crack. read more

This review is for delivery. I had high hopes after reading the other reviews. I ordered the II Porto Pizza which looks amazing in photos. But, by the time the pizza arrived, the whole pie was soggy and all of the toppings slid right off of the pizza slice. The restaurant should re-consider delivering this kind of pizza as it definitely compromises the quality of the pizza. It's also a shame that they are one of the only restaurants in the area that charges a delivery fee ($2). I also ordered a minestrone soup for $6. It was tasty, but I will never order delivery from here again. read more

Top 3 pizza's in Brooklyn....and thats with delivery taken into account. Fresh toppings - arugula/prosciutto is our fav. The location is a bit odd, but if you want delivery, this is the spot. And it's actually a nice restaurant to eat at too. read more

I'm confused why all the reviews for this place are for the pizzeria. This is a restaurant. A darn good one at that. I regularly visit it, and go out of my way to do so. The menu is extensive, and would be foreign, if it weren't for the knowledgeable wait staff to guide you through it. And the pizza? An easy and guaranteed choice if you're not an adventurous dinner. If you're looking for fine dinning with a casual feel, this is the place. Great music, great food, professional and attractive wait staff, and delicious food. My only quandary is most of the time I eat here, the "head chef" is most likely in the dinning room or wandering around. I don't know who's actually cooking the food, but they're doing a darn good job. Kudos to them and the establishment. read more

It's about time a higher calibre pizza joint surfaced in the area. Luigi's was pretty decent, but I think the pizza from Porto rivals Fornino in the Burg as well as stands up pretty well to Grimaldi's. read more

This is my favorite pizza in NYC. Try the grandma pie. It is the best. Service is great also.

I have been a faithful customer for delivery and in restaurant dining and bummed at the change in service and quality. I went in for dinner a month ago and we ordered the al diavolo with extra ricotta and hot peppers on half. They brought out the pizza no ricotta and the saltiest peppers that I have ever tasted. The server said it was added and I asked her to check with kitchen. She came back and apologized and said they would fix it The added the ricotta cheese and put it back in the oven and dried out the mozzarella and crust - it was horrible! You would think they would make an adjustment when I complained but no they did not. I asked if Mo, the manager, was working and they shared he no longer works there. The manager came over and did not offer a discount or even a free glass of wine for the inconvenience. I paid and left as quickly as possible and it will be a while before I go back. Sad to write this formerly go to spot! read more

Pizza, Pizza..Never tried the slices,Never tried their delivery , but hot damn the pie that comes to your table is divine. Cozy date night place..when they first opened you could bring your own vino..but now they serve their own :( Nevertheless Xcellent pies across the board. read more

My wife and I just "discovered" this place after they had been in business for ten years! Very good Italian fare, excellent brick oven pizza, specials, appies, entrées, pasta, cocktails, decent wine list, fantastic desserts, cool Brooklyn atmo, smooth and sassy live jazz Th, F, Sat nights. Warm, attentive, friendly owner and wait staff. Extremely affordable! Already planning to bring back our friends!!! read more

I haven't eaten on the property, but I have had delivery from here many times. Though delivery is fairly slow (give them at least 45 minutes to Fort Greene), the delivery persons are always friendly and professional. The pasta is quite good, especially the Gemelli, the vegetable sides are good, the brick-oven pizza is REALLY good. I highly recommend the Al Diavolo. Mmmmmmm. I really think that their food is worth paying more for. read more

Food is great. Ambience is peaceful! The staff is very attentive. Pizza and pasta is perfect

Best pizza in the area- coal or wood fired (not sure which) and the tomato sauce is sweet and

So I ordered delivery one night...HUGE mistake. It arrived cold, disgusting and the calamari looked/tasted like something I could by in the freezer section at The Associated for $4 instead of $10. I had the pesto fettuccine which the guy who took my order swore by and was so grossed out by it I only took a couple bites. $30 down the drain. I read such good reviews which is why I decided to try it, SO disappointed. Maybe it's better to go to than to have delivered, I may try it again for lunch so the price is less and I won't be so irate should be disgusting again. read more

This was my last night of vacation. I decided to try authentic Brooklyn pizza. Let me say I'm so glad I did! This was by far the best pizza I have ever had in my life!!! I tried the Bianca pizza. I brought the leftovers home with me to California and just ate the last slice. This pizza was so good I'm considering asking them to mail me a pizza!!! I hope you enjoy it just as much as I did! read more

Finally i came to this place! Been hearing and reading alot about it. Pizza was great! Drinks were really really good. Sangria was very good as well. Atmosphere is date appealing as well as just kicking back to a meal. Highly recommend it. read more

What a fantastic little italian spot. I've been here twice, once in the summer time on a date with my fiancé & we dined outside on the sidewalk which was really lovely. I remember the mussels were amazing & so was the wine! Most recently I took my mother here in February who was visiting from Cleveland & it was nearly empty on a Saturday night which is usually a bad sign... Alas, the staff was fantastic, the live music was a very nice touch, and the shrimp/asparagus pasta with pink sauce was literally to die for. seriously, five stars just for that dish. as good as it gets. read more

This is the best delivery place ever. They have never disappointed. The food is always hot and delicious. An extra perk is the delivery guys are all super cute and nice! read more

Always consistantly good!! I suggest getting the antipasto, Il Porto salad and a pizza. Also the seafood specials are always top-notch.

The food does look delicious looking at the pictures but unfortunately we did not get to eat here tonight. My husband made a reservation for 3 on open table and then reduced it to 2 people about 2 hours before our 7pm time-slot. We took a subway and a bus and because we did not realize we would have to take a bus until after we left our house, we called the restaurant to tell them we would be 10 minutes late. We were already on the bus in the middle of a business district in central brooklyn when met with a recording "we are closed tonight for a family matter." I am really sorry about the family matter, and no problem at all to cancel on us, but when you made the recording, why not also go on to open table and cancel the reservations? Even now I am able to make a reservation tonight when you are clearly closed. Anyway, my husband and I got into a huge fight bickering about when to get off the bus because there are no other restaurants around this commercial part of Brooklyn. And i am truly sorry about the unfortunate family matter, which must really be a bad emergency to have treated customers so rudely. read more

They are great.... They donated a dish for my son's school event..... Their delivery is on point... Very friendly every time I call.. Highly recommended!!! Love these guys read more

Extremely disappointing. I planned a dinner here because they have advertised that it's 1/2 off wine. So i called 10 minutes before I went to confirm the deal and they confirmed that yes that's the deal. I arrived and after dinner they told me no deal so I asked if I could speak to the manager and the manager refused to come out to speak with me. I am very turned off by this place for providing false information and for the manager ignoring customers. Proceed with caution. read more
