Went because the reviews seemed good enough. Waited a while “to be seated”. I got photos from the entrance attached. Sat long enough before leaving as nobody approached us at all. Seems like they are understaffed because we wanted to sit outside obviously, and he said there’s no staff serving there. Sir your country is hosting the World Cup… why wouldn’t you be prepared… we drove from our hotel in SoHo for that.

We had our wedding rehearsal dinner at Porta, and could not have been more happy with how everything turned out! The food is absolutely phenomenal, with plenty of delicious options! Our event took place on the south side of the rooftop, and the ambiance was *chef's kiss* perfection. A gorgeous sunset backdrop, rustic pizza ovens, and the option for heated lamps as the night got chilly – it really felt so cozy. Samantha was so responsive and helpful to work with leading up to the event, and the staff on the day of was friendly and efficient! This will for sure not be our last visit to our new favorite pizza spot (:

🍞 PREDATORY BREAD PRACTICES 🍞 The food here is exceptionally tasty. The servers are nice. But that's secondary to the bread situation, which is so clearly engineered to screw over the customer that I can't help but feel like I'm getting scammed when eating here. Let me elaborate. In this post-Covid world, I understand some restaurants charge for bread service. I understand Porta needs to make its Newark Ave rent. But why am I paying $4 for five small slices of dry bread? That's 80 cents per sad, pathetic slice. Other places that charge for bread make it an event. They make it luxurious. This bread is a slap in the face. The clear solution is to just not order bread. But no, the menu is designed so that you need bread. Want mozzarella? Ricotta? Well, if you want bread with it, that'll be $2 extra. Never mind that when I asked our poor server how one would go about eating these dishes without bread, they admitted it wasn't really possible. And then, to add insult to injury, you get a lion's share of cheese and AGAIN five paltry pieces of prison-grade bread, which is NOT proportionate to the amount of cheese you've been given, which means, again, guess what? You've got to order mor

Love the vibe at Porta. They have a great menu and a good selection of beers. Their pizzas are so tasty and our favorite is the carbonara pizza. Thank you Alison for your helpful and friendly hospitality!
