The waitress was pleasant, but that could not compensate for the many problems. The salad arrived before the appetizer because the stuffed mushrooms would take another 10 minutes. We had to ask for the bread, which we had looked forward to. Then we waited 30-45 minutes for our entrées. The seared scallops risotto were neither seared nor risotto. They were kind of steamed and came with roasted potatoes and mixed vegetables. The waitress brought really seared scallops and risotto and offered to wrap the mistake meal. (I took the 5 steamed scallops and will add them to a stew.) The spumoni with claret sauce was wonderful spumoni, but the so-called claret sauce was merely a red color on the plate. Perhaps the crowds were because Super bowl was the next day - the restaurant was crowded; it was impossible to get a parking space for a 7pm reservation, but there was plenty of staff serving, cleaning up used tables, so the restaurant could not be faulted for lack of preparation. We did learn that we should not attempt to go on a Saturday. Read more Read less

We were in an awful area of the restaurant, in a corner, which would have been fine, except they had a large table of 8 right on top of us. We couldn't even adjust our seats for comfort. It was very crowded and hot, because someone turned the heat up. The entire experience was affected by this. We go to Porticello's fairly regularly, and this was the worst. There were plenty of other tables that we could have been seated at, because the restaurant was not busy. I did request a certain table, but not if eight people were going to be surrounding us, making it impossible to move our chairs to be comfortable. Just a bad experience. Quality of food was not great this time, and the inexperienced assistants to the server , though very sweet, need more experience before they assist. Read more Read less

There were not many scallops and they were small. I was very disappointed! The proprieter and chef need to rethink this. For the price, there were not enough scallops and a place like Porticello should NOT be serving small scallops. They should only purchase large ones. We were offered a complimentary dessert by our server, which was very nice, but the dish itself needs to be better. I've had it before and there were few scallops as well. Read more Read less

This was a Saturday evening after 8pm with the restaurant side half full. We were seated right near the bus station and were ignored by the bus staff when more water was requested. My dining companion got bumped into by the staff several times throughout our time there and she is a small 100 lb. person. We were dressed nicely and well groomed, so why we were seated in a cramped corner is beyond our imagination.

Quite Impressive!

Nice atmosphere, great food, nice waiter

Food was only mediocre. Bar is very loud. Waitress was very good. she was newly hired

the food, rissotto and egg plant parm was bland, the salmon was bad

was very pleased with service and quality. will definitely be back to dine here.

The only drawback was that it was so crowded on Saturday night
