★★★★★ 5.0 Azure McFee · Feb 2026

We enjoyed a lovely dinner on the patio adjacent the fire place. Our server Nick was thorough, accommodating and kind. My husband enjoyed the baked spaghetti with chicken and I the shrimp scampi. I’m not eating pasta right now so I enjoyed it over a bed of sautéed spinach. Everything was delightful! Thank you for a wonderful night of dinning.

Portico is a great place for dinner. We celebrated a birthday tonight. The foreground of the picture is the eggplant puttanesca. OMG, delicious! In the rear is the lasagna, whichy husband loved. Both servings were very generous and take home bags were definitely necessary. Ere bringing the family the next time they visit!

Elias was our server, and he was friendly and offered great menu selections. The Arancini balls were crispy and filled with risotto, capers, and mozzarella, with a touch of vodka sauce. The fried artichokes were filled with goat cheese and accompanied by balsamic vinegar. The lasagna served with mixed vegetables was absolutely delicious. The lasagna was moist and the meat sauce was full of delicious flavor.

5 stars every time! Only valet parking offered so the tipping was a surprise there! The regular menu is excellent but the specials make this restaurant exceptional! Ordered the yellowfin tuna special and it did not disappoint! Fresh tomato soup and salad for my friend! Cannoli for dessert, easy to share! Our waitress was amazing and helpful with menu suggestions-always a plus! The ambiance of dining on the patio is what makes the experience of dining at Portico!

Very cute place, decent food, nice service. Had dinner here with a friend, we had reservations for 4:30 pm. We dined inside, would love to come back on the patio sometime.
