" I absolutely love this place! Porta Via serves the best roasted vegetable panini I've ever had. I felt like I was in Italy again! The atmosphere is so homey and inviting. I admire the staff’s dedication to service, they made me feel so welcomed. This is definitely going to be my go-to for Italian! " (*Curated Review*)

" I’m a fan of Porta Via! The food is always fresh and reminds me of dining in Italy. I loved the homemade pasta I had. The outdoor seating is a big plus, especially on weekends. The staff made sure I had everything I needed throughout my meal, so service was on point too. I will definitely be back! " (*Curated Review*)

" Porta Via is one of those places you want to rave about! The quality of food always impresses. They have an admirable selection of Italian wines too, which pairs perfectly with their food. I enjoyed my visit here and the knowledgeable staff provided excellent recommendations! " (*Curated Review*)

" Porta Via surprised me with how fresh and delicious everything was! I stopped by for lunch and ordered a turkey meatball sandwich. It was fantastic! The meatballs were juicy, and the marinara sauce had the right amount of zing. I also loved their salad bar, which had an impressive selection of toppings. Great spot for a quick and healthy meal! " (*Curated Review*)

" Porta Via has become my go-to spot for lunch. The variety of options is astounding—the salad bar is huge! I appreciate how they label everything, making it easy to pick what I want. My favorite is the balsamic chicken salad. However, parking can be tricky at times, especially during busy hours. Still, the fabulous food is worth the effort! " (*Curated Review*)

" My recent stop at Porta Via was a bit of a letdown compared to past visits. The food was still decent, but the service felt lacking—it took a while for someone to take my order and the staff seemed distracted. I hope it was just an off day because I love their food. " (*Curated Review*)

" Porta Via is my new favorite spot! Their creamy kale salad is incredibly tasty, and the bread they serve with the meals is fantastic. It's a bit on the pricey side, but I believe you get what you pay for in terms of quality. Every meal I've had has been well-balanced and filling. " (*Curated Review*)
