   First time at Porto. A splendid relaxed early Saturday night dinner before the Boston Symphony. Very good wine list, including wines by the glass. We shared spaghetti with mussels, clams, shrimp.

   Lived up to expectations except for the member of our party who ordered the scallops; felt the portion was not large enough for her to be satisfied. Coffee was sent back because it was not served hot—was lukewarm.

   I had yet another wonderful meal at Porto - this time the bolognese that Jody Adams made justifiably famous at Rialto. I think it’s the best in the city. Can’t recommend Porto more highly.

   Service was extremely slow, way too overpriced for the quality of experience. Food was tasty but not worth $50 for fish.

    Food was really good - Italian/Mediterranean served. Wine selection is also great. Service was ok, bit hard to get their attention. The space is nice but some paint is peeling on the corners ??Main issue is the price - it is way too much for what it is, we paid 230 with tip for two mains, two desserts and two wine glass. Everything was pretty good yes but this is too much for what it is - probably you can go to the South End and get the same meal for 20% less.

    We had another wonderful evening at Porto. The service is very professional but also very friendly, and the new menu items (including especially the spaghetti al a scoglio) were excellent. One of our favorite places.

    We had a dinner with friends and family and had a fantastic time! The staff greeted us with genuine warmth as soon as we arrived. The atmosphere is very welcoming too. Our waitress Marjorie was kind, attentive and knowledgeable. We had local (Cape Cod) oysters to start, which were plump and fresh and the shrimp were colossal, delicious and crisp. Bread was warm focaccia with a flavored olive oil lightly drizzled over it. We ordered the cauliflower and the Brussel sprouts which were both excellent. Highly recommend getting them - we almost ordered another of each but knew we had plenty of food coming. We had pasta with mushrooms and the large gnocchi with truffle and bread crumbs. Both were very good. We saw octopus and tuna on the menu but don’t eat either after learning how intelligent octopus are and how overfished tuna is. We had scallops and lamb and halibut. I think the lamb was best but they were all good. We had an excellent couple of bottles of Sancerre (a French Sauvignon Blanc) which was excellent. The tiramisu and warm cookie with ice cream finished off a great meal. The only thing I was not crazy about is that the prices seemed a bit high. Maybe supply chain issues have raised food costs. An excellent and memorable night. We will be sure to return.

    If you can withstand the club music, and yelling across the table all night, the food was very good. The service was kind, but they were perhaps overbooked when I was there.

    As a steak lover I love my steak medium rare and I was excited to try the steak at Porto but unfortunately I asked for a steak med rare and the steak came out butterflied at in between medium and medium well seemed as if it sat in the hot widow a bit too long. They did bring me out another steak and it was ok but i had to sit and wait as my boyfriend ate his meal.

    We are a French-Italian family with a food background and were very pleased with the truly superb food and wine, but disappointed by the atmosphere, which has a very mass market hotel lobby feel.

    The food was terrific. Our octopus was excellent as was the halibut. The add-on brocolini was just ok and certainly nothing special for $12. The dessert menu is very limited. The wait staff were very pleasant but it should take less than ten minutes to receive a drink after ordering it. We liked Porto but for the price the service and rather simple atmosphere should be better.

    Broccolini was perfectly cooked and flavorful. The crème brûlée was tasty but not as rhubarb forward as I would have hoped. Fresh oysters were well presented & great quality. My favorite was the mushroom pasta. We also had the halibut which was well done with appropriate accents.

    Good oysters, nice staff, good location. Big turn off is they charge a 3% service fee and the present the bill with a signage device that calculates tip based upon the added fee and taxes. So a 20% tip is 30%. Not cool

    The food was delicious although the portions were very small for the price. The hosts that welcomed us and our servers were top notch and had been trained very well. People wandering around and standing next to your table conversing and laughing way to loudly - was not what I expected. It was pleasant after they moved on. I would love to come back but with inflation I cannot afford the prices.

    Porto is noisy-lots of hard surfaces. The food is mixed. My wife started with oysters which were fresh and delicious, and then had prosciutto and figs. Presumably to cut back on the quantity of fresh figs, everything was on a bed of jam, presumably fig jam. Really way too sweet for the prosciutto, so that was a shame. I had branzino. The fish itself was delicious, but it was on a spicy bed of vegetables and sauce, including harissa. I love harissa, but branzino is a delicate fish, so it was totally overpowered by a spicy sauce. Such a shame to not be able to enjoy the fish since it was really excellent. I had a glass of Pinot Noir from Oregon, really rather poor. My wife had a vodka. We asked for Ketel One. The check said Grey Goose. I did not enquire whether the check was incorrect, or the barman poured the wrong vodka. Not the end of the world, but one more thing to add to a disappointing dinner.

    Gnocchi was cold, sent it back. it came back cold again. I ate it. Clearly it had been refrigerated and then reheated. It was 6:30pm so maybe it just came out of the frig. Everything else was good - fish, meatballs and barrata.

    I had heard good things about Porto so decided to try it on a very busy Black Friday evening in the Back Bay. Even though every other restaurant was packed this one was only half full (which I found odd at 7:00pm). One of us had lamb (which he enjoyed), I had halibut which was just ok - though on the dry side. And one of us had a pasta entree which was more like an appetizer size than a full meal. Needless to say the food was not outstanding. The service from the bartender to the waitress was bare minimum. Maybe they didn’t want to be there? No idea but wouldn’t exactly call them top notch. For great food and service best to go somewhere else. So many really good restaurants in the area to choose from other than this one.

    Food was delicious but extremely salty. I had the wild mushroom pasta and husband had lamb shanks. His comment was he was expecting more intense flavor. I thought the taste was delicious. Brussel sprouts out of this world but too salty. Focaccia was cake like, this was the one disappointment.

    Porto is a favorite restaurant of mine, and will remain so. Last night was surprisingly disappointing. We were seated in the bar area which is both noisy, and very chilly as the door to the outdoor patio kept opening and closing. The food as always is excellent and tasty. However, my lamb I ordered medium rare was medium well, even our wonderful waiter agreed. The service was excellent. I will definitely return but sit elsewhere.
