    The exterior of the restaurant, which is barely seen to the far right.
    Pat O.

    Due to construction in the parking lot, we had a difficult time finding the restaurant. It's located to the far right of Marmalade, in the Commons. We sat in their beautiful patio and received very courteous service. We each had the gazpacho with some crispy bread, which was very good. We stayed over 2 hours and, not only did they try to rush us out but, the waiter kept our ice water glasses filled, on that very hot day.

    Me and my party at five came here for a friend's birthday and we really enjoyed our dinner. We started off with some drinks and appetizers. We got complementary bread and butter, very basic but . We ordered the guac, the portion of the guac was good but we got a very small portion of chips. They did offer us another side when we finished what we had. I ordered the shrimp with zucchini noodles and wow, this was so delicious. It was packed with flavor and had a little bit of spice to it as well. Perfect if you're looking for a lower carb option, I'd come back for these alone! To drink, I got the bar flower and it was sweet and strong! Overall, a perfect place for a date night, birthday dinner or dinner with friends.

    Shrimp Pasta

    We had Mother's Day dinner at Porta Via last night. We had a super small table even though the booth was large enough for five adults. Service was very good and our servers all wished us Happy Mother's Day which was very thoughtful. We sat outside on the patio as Murphy the Doodle and Rocky J. Squirrel the Bijan, joined us for dinner. We had the Cobb Salad that was very good, although there was barely any chicken in it. I counted four tiny pieces and would have liked more. The skirt steak was very tender and juicy and my husband and son-in-law really liked it. We also had the burger and the Shrimp pasta. This is a great place for a casual dinner.

    Outside

    Came here for brunch on a nice sunny day and sitting outside was so nice with the decor. We ordered the Porta via scramble, the neapolitan omelet, matcha latte, and 2 juices (morning do and the triangle). I did not like the Porta via scramble. It was very bland for my taste and I could not take more than a couple of bites. The potatoes and the baguette (yes the carbs) were definitely better. The condiments for the bread were ssoo good. The neapolitan omelet with the burrata?! That was and made up for the blandness of the other one. I do wish there was more of the toppings though. Because the burrata is a strong cheese, it needed more tomatoes and avocado. The matcha was not strong enough for me and it didn't feel like there was enough caffeine in it so I was disappointed. The juices were much better! I ordered for the Morning Do for myself and I could easily have more of it. I'm not a huge carrot in my drink fan so I cannot speak about the triangle. The server was nice and was chatting with the regulars in between checking on their customers, it was cool seeing the sense of community

    We came here for a birthday, because the nearby restaurant we wanted to go to had an extremely long wait. I remember when this place used to be Johnny Rockets, has a complete remodel now, the ambiance is really nice here. We sat out in the patio, and honestly, the food wasn't bad, but it wasn't something that was extremely memorable. Service was good, when we mentioned, we had a birthday, we got a little sweet treat. I ordered the Seabass and the sauce that came with. It was pretty good. I was happy that the asparagus was fresh. Everyone else got pasta, which in my opinion tasted pretty mediocre. It's not the first place that I would think of coming back to, but if I ended up here again, it would be OK.

    Sweet potato fries
    Amanda C.

    Porta Via Calabasas has a fantastic location on the corner of the Calabasas Commons shopping center. Great vibe inside that's good for a nice dinner together or a swanky brunch or birthday place. Very pleasant and the decor is beautiful and just really works. Super inviting in the day or at night. The food was excellent as well. A tiny bit pricey but pretty standard for this area. I really enjoyed the guacamole and pasta. Both were fresh and savory and the salad and sweet potato fries were also very well made too. Everything was delicious, just a tiny bit smaller than I anticipated but I had fun eating it all up. I will definitely be back when I'm looking for a nice meal out in Calabasas.

    Lasagne al Forno
    Peter F.

    This was a nice place. Servers were slammed so orders took a while to come out, including drinks. The mussels are a must-try. The lasagna was also delicious, but was missing something. The spaghetti, I would not get again. I think for the flavor, this place was slightly overpriced.

    Kale & quinoa salad with added chicken (front) Chicken stir fry with brown rice (right)  Kale & quinoa salad with salmon (rear)
    Cathryn C.

    My first visit to Porta Via was on Mother's Day, so the restaurant was quite busy and noisy, but the food was delicious. I had the kale and quinoa salad with chicken added. My daughter had the kale and quinoa salad with salmon added. My mother had the chicken stir fry. My salad was good, but was a little bland, it could have used more lemon or vinegar. Adding chicken for $7 made it a bit more filling. The carmelized shallots on top really elevated the taste along with grapefruit slices and shaved Parmesan. I would recommend this salad. The "Porta via salad" also looked good. I might try that next time adding shrimp. The salmon my daughter added was delicious, with char grill marks. My mother said the stir fry was mild and she asked for some chili sauce or chili peppers to give it more flavor; however, it was loaded with fresh vegetables and chunks of chicken. The tables are comfortable and the atmosphere would be relaxing if I hadn't gone on such a busy day. I really liked the decor, the service, and the general seating of the restaurant, inside and out. One problem is that the restaurant is in the Calabasas commons (in the old Johnny rockets space) where a tremendous amount of construction is going on, so unfortunately a lot of the parking spaces are not available. I dropped my party and the restaurant and it took me at least 10 more minutes to get a space completely on the other side of the lot. Hopefully parking will loosen up once they finish some of the construction in fall 2026. All in all I would return to Porta Via.

    Filet that was suppose to be medium

    I've been to Porta Via a handful of times, and it's usually been just okay. I went again today with a friend for brunch/lunch, and unfortunately the experience didn't justify the prices. We started with the guacamole, which was very underwhelming. It tasted like plain avocado with little to no seasoning or additional ingredients. For my entrée, I ordered the filet mignon medium, but it came out closer to medium-well and lacked seasoning. My friend ordered the Porta Via Scramble and felt it was bland as well. The drinks were also disappointing. A mocktail costs $17, which feels excessive. I tried the Cali Cleanse and found it unpleasant. The one highlight of the meal was the apple crumble dessert, which was delicious. Our waitress was very sweet and friendly, but she appeared to be handling a lot of tables, so service was slower than expected. Overall, the food was basic, under-seasoned, and overpriced. While I've given this restaurant several chances, I don't think I'll be returning.

    Fried Calamari

    Porta Via has a really nice ambiance, making it a great spot to relax or meet with friends. The service was friendly and attentive throughout the meal. The food was decent overall.

    Grilled branzino with asparagus
    James H. L.

    Chose this one because of its convenient location within the Calabasas Commons. Indoor seating was great for a catch-up lunch reunion on a Friday. All the food was delicious from the excellent burrata and heirloom tomato basil salad, to their fried calamari rings, and we split a grilled branzino with asparagus. Affogato was also a nice ending with quite nice french vanilla gelato and a perfect espresso. Service was also excellent. The outside is wonderful, and heated by many patio heaters, but is relatively open air, so if it's breezy, it will get cold. Inside is cozy and light-filled as they use french doors throughout. Noise level is average once filled to capacity, but easy enough to carry on a conversation without shouting. Very accessible, though ADA parking is quite limited to only a few spaces along the front edge of the walking mall.

    While other friends have been here we never have, and when a friend wanted to celebrate her birthday dinner here we said sure and 12 of us showed up to celebrate. We were able to sit outdoors (the reservations were at 5) and it was comfortable. As the evening progressed they brought a heater out for each end of our table. We ordered 9 different dishes and everyone enjoyed their food. I had a Grilled Ora King Salmon and really enjoyed it and my wife really enjoyed her chopped beet salad with shrimp. Having a good server with this many people at a table can sometimes be a challenge, but Taylor was fantastic, a 10-star for sure. She was friendly, talkative, made sure we got the right orders for example no dairy, no chips but substitute sweet potato fries (which were delicious. Food prices aren't cheap here, but nobody complained as everyone enjoyed their food.

    You can't beat the ambiance, location, and service with this place. I didn't really have to wait too long, and the quality of food was fairly decent. My cocktail could have been better, since it was over powered with ice and very little alcohol. But overall, it was a good experience

The B.A.B. is a great classic breakfast with eggs, crispy potatoes, toasted country bread, and your choice of bacon or sausage patty. I went with the sausage patty. I would've cooked the patty for another minute myself, but it wasn't a problem. Everything else was cooked really well, and those crispy potatoes were especially good. The Mediterranean was completely different but just as enjoyable, with a soft boiled egg, grilled halloumi, hummus, olives, cucumber salad, tomatoes, pita, and sumac. It was fresh, colorful, and full of flavor. The grilled halloumi and hummus were probably our favorite parts. We also couldn't resist trying a couple of pastries and ordered the Cheddar Chive Scone and a croissant. Both tasted incredibly fresh. The croissant was buttery and flaky, and the scone had a really nice savory flavor from the cheddar and chives. Sunrose has a beautiful, relaxed atmosphere that makes it a perfect brunch spot, and everything we tried tasted fresh and thoughtfully prepared. We really enjoyed our meal and will definitely be back.

    From wobbly tables to servers who don't even make eye contact when speaking to you, the hospitality…read morehere leaves quite a bit to be desired. When we asked our server, "What would you recommend?" the response was, verbatim, "Just get anything," followed by a point toward the menu. That pretty much summed up the service experience. That said, the restaurant itself has a lot going for it. The atmosphere is pleasant, the space is thoughtfully designed, and it's clear the owners invested considerable time, money, and care into building the place. You can genuinely see the effort behind the restaurant. And that's what makes the service more disappointing. A restaurant can have a beautiful space and solid food, but hospitality is what turns a transaction into an experience. Basic attentiveness, eye contact, genuine recommendations, and making guests feel welcome shouldn't be asking too much. The restaurant will likely continue to do well because the concept, location, and atmosphere are strong. But if the owners invested the same level of care into the guest experience that they clearly invested into the physical restaurant, it could be significantly better. Tried the food, and not gonna lie, the Dutch Bay is amazing. Definitely a must try! Good restaurant. Nice atmosphere. Hospitality, however, needs work.

The passion fruit purée paired beautifully with the fish, though the extra oil on the plate caused separation and made it hard for the sauce to stick. A small tweak here would make it perfect. Entrees: This is where the meal lost momentum. After the apps, it took about 30-45 minutes for the mains to arrive, which felt unnecessarily long since the full order had been placed upfront. By the time they arrived, the dishes themselves didn't really deliver. * Scallop Curry: Decent flavor, but the scallops could have used a much better sear to really shine. Something about the plate felt a little off-balance. * Pappardelle with Short Rib Ragu: The pasta noodles were well-made, but the short rib lacked depth of flavor and tenderness. It seemed undercooked for what should have been a slow-braised, melt-in-your-mouth kind of meat. Overall, the dish was bland and uninspired. Drinks & Dessert: I skipped the cocktails because none really stood out, but the glass of wine I ordered was excellent. We also passed on dessert after waiting so long for the entrees. Final Thoughts: The restaurant has a lot of potential, the ambiance is beautiful, the focaccia is unforgettable, and the service (thanks to Blake) was wonderful. But the rest of the menu felt inconsistent, with several dishes needing more attention to detail in both flavor and presentation. I'm glad I finally tried it, but for me, the focaccia and service were the true highlights of the night.

This was my first time visiting the restaurant and it was a hit! Very nice welcome and delicious food. I'm pretty sure we ate EVERYTHING. I'm looking forward to coming again.

    Opened in late 2014 this is one of my favorite delis in the valley, if not my favorite overall…read more It's very large on the inside, filled with many booths and tables plus they also have a large private dining room area, an outdoor eating covered patio, and then in another part of the restaurant there is a full bar and more tables but we were not able to enter that area but safe to say they can host many large sized groups or parties. There is also a large free parking lot attached so parking is really easy. As you would expect at any traditional deli, the menu is very large and service is very attentive. The staff was very friendly when we stopped in and everything that we ordered came out very fast after we ordered it. For this visit, I started off with one of their Caramel Lattes and thought it was delicious. Our waiter mentioned they were especially good there and I agree with him. For our breakfast, we chose a Build Your Own Omelette and the Chilaquiles. Both were fantastic. I chose to Build Your Own Omelette and opted for chorizo as my meat even though it's not listed on the menu as an option. I would highly recommend doing so as well. They also have a giant area of pastries and cookies, which I plan to visit next time I stop by. I would highly recommend to anyone and feel it is suitable for people of all ages.
