" A true neighborhood treasure! My family and I often come to Trattoria Porretta and have never had a bad experience. From the large portions of pasta to the delightful pizzas, each meal has been exceptional. The service is always prompt and friendly. I've recommended this place to friends, and they love it too. Highly recommend trying their tiramisu – it's the best! " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing so much about Porretta, I had to give it a try. The pizza was delicious! However, I found it to be a tad salty for my taste, which was a bit disappointing as I was expecting something more balanced based on the reviews. The service was good, and the atmosphere warm and inviting. I’d like to return and possibly try one of their pasta dishes next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" My first time dining at Trattoria Porretta left me impressed! I visited on a Friday night with a couple of friends. It was lively, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. I ordered their rigatoni with spicy sausage; the flavor was spot on! The portion size was generous, leaving me content but not stuffed. Service was decent; nothing out of the ordinary but satisfactory. " (*Curated Review*)

" Let me start with the amazing service! The staff here is attentive and friendly; they took great care of us. My family ordered a variety of dishes to share, including the large meatball sub and lasagna. Both were hearty and flavorful! We ended with the cannoli that was homemade. The ambiance made it feel upscale yet casual, perfect for our family get-together. I can't recommend Trattoria Porretta enough! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a fantastic experience! The rigatoni special was one of the best I've had. The sauces are made fresh, which adds a lovely authenticity to the meal. The tiramisu was divine! My only complaint was that it took slightly longer than expected to get our drinks initially, but the quality of food made up for it. Highly recommend for anyone craving good Italian 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*)
