" I had a dinner reservation for my birthday at Trattoria Porretta, and the night didn’t disappoint! The service was incredible, and they spoiled me with a complimentary dessert. I loved the spicy calamari and the linguine with clams; both were bursting with fresh flavors. The only downside was that it took a while for our food to arrive, but we enjoyed our time in the charming atmosphere while we waited. I will certainly be back for my next celebration! " (*Curated Review*)

" I came across this gem during a night out, and I can honestly say it's now one of my favorite Italian spots! I had a delightful veal Parmesan that was tender and cooked to perfection. The warm bread served alongside was a great touch, especially with their house salad dressing. My friend loved the spicy breaded wings too! Plus, the cozy setup with rustic elements made for a perfect dining experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was pleasantly surprised by this quaint Italian eatery! The arancini are a must-try! I also enjoyed the penne vodka, which I found to be incredibly flavorful and satisfying. The service here is friendly. I would wholeheartedly recommend this spot for anyone who enjoys authentic Italian fare! " (*Curated Review*)

" Trattoria Porretta has such a cozy neighborhood feel. It’s a great place for family dinners or catching up with friends over good food. I love their pasta, and the specials often surprise me with seasonal ingredients that elevate the dishes. Last week, I had a hearty minestrone soup followed by a delightful lasagna. My only suggestion would be to have more bread on the side because it pairs so well with everything! Overall, an enjoyable experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a lovely time dining out with friends at Trattoria Porretta. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, and the service is always pleasant. I ordered the artichoke dip and loved it! The dinner portions were very generous, ensuring no one left hungry. The only downside is that they tend to get crowded on weekends, so be prepared for a wait. Nevertheless, it's worth it for the delicious food! " (*Curated Review*)

" We decided to celebrate my sister’s birthday at Trattoria Porretta and it was delightful! The staff went above and beyond to make the evening special. The food was delicious, with highlights being the linguine shrimp and tiramisu. Each dish tasted homemade and authentic. However, I wish the wine selection was a bit more expansive. Regardless, an experience worth repeating! " (*Curated Review*)

" The service was friendly but not as prompt as I expected. My group went on a Saturday evening, and while the restaurant was busy, we waited a while for our drinks. Once we ordered, the food came out relatively quickly. I had the shrimp scampi, which was good but lacked a depth of flavor I’m used to at Italian spots. The ambiance is nice, though, and I loved the decor. I might give it another chance when it’s less crowded. " (*Curated Review*)
