" Visited this restaurant last night and was blown away! The sea bass was cooked perfectly, and the dessert options were enticing. I really appreciated how attentive the staff was, ensuring my drink was never empty and checking on my meal frequently. I left feeling entirely satisfied and definitely plan on returning soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a below-average experience at Porta Via. The much-touted tuna tower was unimpressive, heavy on rice and lacking in actual tuna. Service was also hit or miss, which didn't help. A shame as the ambiance is nice. I probably won't be going back. " (*Curated Review*)

" Porta Via is a gem in Palm Desert! I must say, their calamari appetizer is the best I've ever had. It was tender, succulent, and cooked to perfection. I also enjoyed the ribeye steak, which was flavorful but slightly overcooked for my liking. The atmosphere is lovely for date nights or family gatherings. I would highly recommend it! " (*Curated Review*)

" A stellar experience overall! From the beautifully designed interior to the caring staff, every detail was covered. I was surprised by how quickly our food came out and how fresh everything tasted. I especially loved the beet salad! Perfect balance of flavors and a sizable portion. Can't recommend enough! " (*Curated Review*)

" Celebrating a birthday at Porta Via was a fantastic decision! The staff surprised us with a beautifully decorated dessert, which made the evening extra special. The dishes we ordered were impeccably prepared, especially the seafood linguine. The nice touch of complimentary drinks for the birthday girl made it all the more memorable. Highly recommend for any occasion! " (*Curated Review*)

" Good service overall, but the food left something to be desired. The menu was diverse, but my dish was underwhelming. My friend enjoyed his pasta more than I did, but I feel that more attention could be put into flavor. The setting is inviting, so I might give them another chance. " (*Curated Review*)

" I found Porta Via to be a bit overrated. While the ambiance was chic and inviting, I expected more from the flavors in the dishes. My pasta dish wasn't as fresh as I'd hoped, and the service, although friendly, was a bit slow for my taste. Perhaps I just caught them on an off night, but I won't be rushing back anytime soon. " (*Curated Review*)
