I'm going to say something controversial yet brave. I really think this place is…read moreoverrated....SORRY! I know this is an absolute staple in the area and it has its own regulars and cult following. However, if I wanted to go out for Italian food, I would not pick this place. In fact, every time I go here, it's always because of someone else's suggestion. There are some things on here that are fine - the pizza, for example, is sufficient. Their salads are also decent - usually large and fresh. But I've had some of their other hot foods and have been majorly disappointed. The calamari - from a bag, greasy. The grilled chicken panini - no flavor at all. I asked for balsamic vinegar and they had none, which is wild for an Italian restaurant. Even the wine tasted stale the last time I went here. I will give props to the waiters who are always very accommodating and pleasant. The vibe here is nothing fancy - more like a step up from a pizzeria, great to go after a movie or another activity. Like I said, this just wouldn't be my first choice for Italian food because there are much better places in the area, IMO.

Small Italian restaurant with great food and great service…read more Wife and I were looking for a spot to celebrate a special dinner and we decided with Porto By Antonio after reading their great reviews. We made reservations on their website and glad we did. It's a small space and while seated we saw a lot of folks walking in and being turned away. Service was super attentive and on us the whole night. And not in a bad way. We ended up getting the Pulpette for appetizers and for mains the Quattro Formagio pizza, the Spaghetti Carbonara and the Ravioli of the Day. The Pulpette was amazing. Grandma making the meatballs kinda experience. So tender. So juicy. A must when coming. The Quattro pizza was also very good. Good crust. The Spaghetti Carbonara was a bit on the salty side but nothing my Italian beer (Birra Moretti) couldn't save. The Ravioli was perfectly cooked and seasoned perfectly. For dessert we opted for the Creme Brule and of course had to end the night with the Pistachio Cannoli and a Double Espresso because why not. Both desserts were outstanding and the coffee was perfect. Overall it was a wonderful dining experience which I would highly recommend. Kudos Porto By Antonio.

Italian/Latin American fusion has officially burst its way onto the New Jersey food scene, and all…read moreI want to do is ask why. Goodbye Vaporetto the Italian restaurant, hello Vaporetto/Patrona, the doubly named, odd fusion concept. If you jump in your time machine and go back to early January, Vaporetto was a quiet Italian restaurant with pretty decent reviews, a nice view of the city, and good food. Fast forward to now, and the classic white tablecloths and charming old school décor have been replaced with a plethora of neon art and lighting, as well as a gigantic red carpet backdrop when you walk in that you can take photos in front of, should the paparazzi follow you here. We had a reservation for three at 7pm on a Tuesday night. Having eaten here once before I knew it probably wouldn't be busy (the reservation was purely for 100 OpenTable points) but I did not expect so few people. Two, to be exact, sitting a few tables away. They left 10 minutes after we sat down, leaving us the sole patrons for dinner on a Tuesday night. We stared at the menu for a while, confused. Basically all of the Italian food is gone, and the menu now heavily favors the Latin American options. Drinks? Red wine, Montepulciano. As Italian as it gets. Great prices, nice bottle selection, and both of the ones we ordered came perfectly chilled. What better to pair with our Montepulciano than...chips and salsa? Nope. Not Italian. Super confusing for our taste buds. The chips were good but the salsa was too sweet. At one point we almost ordered a pitcher of sangria, but got a taste of it beforehand...also way too sweet. Apps for all of us? We decided to embrace the fusion theme and ordered two Italian and one Latin American dish. Eggplant pasta, grilled calamari, and a trio of mofongo. Working backwards, the mofongo filling was good (two meat and one shrimp) but the plantains were mashed and then fried or baked to look like cups in order to hold the filling. I've never had super crunchy mofongo before. The eggplant pasta was okay; the eggplant itself was nicely cooked, but the sauce was again too sweet and far too oily. The calamari were an interesting shape, and nicely grilled, just a bit bland. Three things that would have improved all three: more spice, less oil, lots of garlic. We ordered dinner after the apps were cleared, and we all went for three fairly different options. We got the parrillada patrona (pretty much a gigantic plate of meats, hot dog included), pechuga rellena, and a whole bronzino. Serving size? Gigantic. I was the one that got the fish, and though the sauce they put on it was bland and generally necessary, it was cooked very well and came with plenty of lemon for the meat. I love a good whole fish, and for $30, this was definitely worth having. The waitstaff was nice, but service was super slow. We got in at 6:45 and ate at a normal pace when food was delivered to us, but we didn't get out until almost 9. We were legitimately the only table there, so it's not like there was a backup in the kitchen...but we weren't in a hurry, so it didn't bother us too much. The theme of the night? Neon. As you can see from my photos, everything is highlighted in this odd neon glow from the lighting that spans the entirety of the restaurant. Vaporetto/Patrona, what are you? I came here for a stuffed artichoke, chicken parmigiana, and maybe some tartufo, but was disappointed to see those Italian classics are now completely absent from the menu. Your Italian roots, your staples, your bread and butter (and yes, literally, your bread and butter) have been abandoned in favor of an odd fusion concept that i'm still a little confused about.

This review is mainly for their Sunday brunch. My job made…read morea reservation which was made about 1-2 weeks in advance. Price was great, $35 per person for bottomless mimosas (ends at 4PM) and a buffet. What was failed to be informed to us was the horrible service we would receive. Now it makes more sense, we indeed PAYED for what WE GOT! When made the reservation they also failed to tell us it was CASH ONLY. You can imagine a large party of 12+ people arriving and now having to head to a nearby bank, because the atm at the restaurant charges a ridiculous % fee. Our reservation was at 1PM and this place opens at noon for brunch however when we finally sat down at our reserved table around 1:20PM the food buffet wasn't even close to being ready for everyone to begin enjoying their meal. The only time someone came to our table was in the beginning to give us a bottle of champagne with a bottle of OJ, After that we kept having to get up to go to the bar to get a new bottle or juice, as well as any other service. The hookah guy was probably the only one who had attentive service (Hookah $30 and refills $20) The cutlery was pretty gross, some glasses we had to exchange because they had stains on them. The tablecloth was a mess and it looked dirty or simply washed wrong. This doesn't surprise me since the windows were filthy and it was such a shame because the view it's amazing. The food was mediocre, the only thing I enjoyed was the sauce links and thankfully the music was on point. The DJ and the hookah was the ONLY thing I truly enjoyed. They have two restrooms, one upstairs and one downstairs, which I was glad because I did not want to keep having to walk downstairs. I'm not too sure how this place is during the week or when they don't have this brunch special. I don't think I will be coming back soon unless it's a last minute thing just to enjoy the DJ and the mimosas and I will know what to expect.

Cocktails/ Food ordered:…read more -Espresso Martini -Mafaldine Alla Vodka -"Hot Hunny" Square pizza Parla is always buzzing, constantly packed whenever I visit. It took 3 New York visits to finally have the opportunity to dine here.But even with how busy it was, the service was on point. Our server was super attentive and friendly, making sure we had everything we needed without ever feeling rushed. We managed to snag a table outside, which was perfect because the weather was just gorgeous. It was so nice to sit out there, soaking up the sun and enjoying the vibe of everything going on around us. It really added to the whole experience. Honestly, if you're looking for a spot with a lively atmosphere, great service, and the chance to enjoy a meal outdoors, you really can't go wrong. Espresso Martini: You get that classic rich, bold espresso flavor right away, perfectly balanced by the vodka. But what really sets it apart is the cacao, which adds this lovely, deep chocolate note, and then, boom, a bright, zesty hint of lemon at the end. It's such a refreshing and sophisticated twist on a classic! Mafaldine Alla Vodka: The pasta itself had this amazing, almost wavy shape that really held onto that creamy vodka sauce. Every bite gave you a great chew. The sauce was super creamy with that perfect little kick from the chili flakes. But the real game-changer? Those toasted sesame seeds! They added such an unexpected, delightful crunch and nutty flavor that just worked so well with the fresh basil and savory parmesan. Seriously, it's a must-try. "Hot Hunny" Square pizza: The crust was seriously perfect , you get this amazing fluffiness that just melts in your mouth, but then it transitions into this super satisfying, crispy bottom. That combo with the tangy classic tomato sauce and pepperoni. Then you get that creamy, fresh stracciatella cheese melting over everything, which is just amazing..... And the Calabrian chili honey? That's the star! It gives this perfect sweet and spicy drizzle that brings all the flavors together and makes each bite exciting.
