Il Portico Ristorante

Eli was such a great server and really made the night special. The atmosphere was cozy and romantic, and the food was so good. I came here for my birthday dinner and couldn’t have been happier. The chicken parm was perfectly crispy and the pasta tasted fresh and homemade. Such a great experience all around!

Absolute hidden gem!!! And so surprising. Drove by this spot every week for years. Upset that it took so long for me to try the place. Every dish was phenomenal and we are definitely discriminating foodies!! Never a meal without complaints from this crew but we were all raving fans about this meal. Do not sleep on this place. Thanks George!!! Service was first class family love. Pasta with Bolognese, Eggplant Parmigiana, Osso Bucco, Lamb Chops. Not one thing disappointed. And the Zabaione-custard with Strawberries ??? OMG!!! And that’s not all…Live entertainment? Tony sounded like old blue eyes!! I just can’t say enough about the experience.

Great Italian restaurant, from the moment you walked in, you are greeted with a smile, very nice decor, we had live music, server Eli was very knowledgeable and charismatic, friendly and on top of things. We ordered couple appetizers Fried Calamari, my nephew said it was the best d Fried calamari he ever had! And that’s true… me and my wife we got two bowls of Lobsters Bisque! They were simply delicious, looks like the chef is proud of his culinary expertise because was one of the best Lobsters bisque I ever had, very similar to the Knife and Forth Restaurant in AC, the soup was full of flavor, creamy, like I said simply delicious! Everyone in our party of six where very happy with their meals, we share with each other and every dish had it’s on color of flavors and every dish was unique i

We had such a great dinner at Il Portico in Burlington. We honestly don’t usually go out for Italian — my husband is Sicilian, so we’re picky — but this place really impressed us. The gnocchi with four cheeses was light and perfectly done (not heavy at all). The linguine with clams was fresh and flavorful, and even the cannoli were spot on — crisp shell, creamy filling, not too sweet. Everything tasted homemade and made with care. We left genuinely impressed, which doesn’t happen often with Italian for us. We’ll definitely be back.

Had date night there last night and it was absolutely amazing! Our waiter Eli was remarkable! Very attentive but not overwhelming, classically professional with a hint of humor, just lovely! He also surprised us with dessert and limoncello at the end which was totally unexpected and so sweet. We will be back for him!!! But let’s not forget about the food. We both had the specials and both were delicious!!! Big portions perfectly executed!!!
