Can I please give it 6 stars? I recently went there with a group of five family members while visiting New Jersey and we had a truly extraordinary night! As an investor in restaurants I'm very critical when visiting any restaurant and not often impressed even with well known critically acclaimed restaurants. It's very rare when a place has truly incredible food with every appetizer and entree as well as first class VIP vibes for service. You could literally taste the passion and care put into every plate with beautifully prepared flavorful abundant meals. In fact, it was the first time in almost a decade I brought home leftovers as the meal was delicious and easily sufficient for two people. Our entire table raved about their meals and the attentive but not obtrusive service was always there to refill our wine and assist without any of us having to look up for service. The food alone would have made for a great night but what truly made it memorable besides the great waitstaff was the manager, Eli. When was the last time a manager, GM or owner greated you at your table to share a polite, interesting and passionate conversation about the food and why they love sharing this experience with their valued customers? He made our entire table feel like VIPs and made perfect recommendations for wine and dessert. It felt more like we were in someone's home as we were there for close to 3-1/2 hours talking, eating, drinking and laughing. The ambiance is warm and unpretentious and the memories of a great experience will certainly bring us back again.

My wife and I had Sunday lunch here with a dear friend. It was our first time at this establishment, and we were not disappointed. From the moment the valet Alejandro parked our car, to the warm ambience, to the top-notch service provided by David, to the generous portions of absolutely delicious food, to the great bottle of Montepulciano, to the decadent desserts, we had a wonderful experience that just continued to get better and better as the meal progressed. My wife and I remarked several times that if we lived closer to this area, we would be eating here constantly! Highly recommended!

My boyfriend made reservations to Del Porto to celebrate my 43rd Birthday. This was our 1st time visiting this restaurant. The restaurant is nicely decorated and very clean. The staff are all nice especially our server Fermin. He was very pleasant and always had a warm smile. Our food was very delicious from the appetizer, crispy eggplant ,to my main course Bronzino and to my Tahitian Creme Brulee desert. I loved this restaurant and my experience here. I would definitely recommend to all. Very nice and classy look.Parking: Valet parking is available.

Service was great and food is perfect, they definitely give you a good taste of authentic Italian cuisine. Eggplant lasagna is the winner, no one can go wrong with it! Elizabeth, our server, is great, very knowledgeable about the menu, friendly and bilingual. Most of the employees (if not everyone) are, which makes it welcoming to everyone.

Can't say enough good things about Del Porto. Great food, great staff. Our party of 5 discovered this gem after missing our United Airlines connection. Long story but suffice it to say we were tired and a bit grouchy. Their arabiatta sauce was amazing and all of our entrees were great. But the staff and service were the story of the night. Then when I left my credit card there late on a Saturday night, the owner asked one of the employees to run it up to my hotel near the airport -- about 15 minutes away. Can't speak highly enough about Del Porto.

Went to Del Porto with the family (group of 8) and had a wonderful experience. From the moment we walked in we were greeted by friendly faces. Our waiter Eli was amazing. He helped with recommendations for food and drinks. We had the fried burrata, the calamari and the crab cake for appetizers and loved everything. The fried calamari was to die for. The main dishes were all very tasty. No complaints at all from anyone in our group. I had the spinach and ricotta ravioli and it was perfection. I will definitely be coming back and already recommended it to my family. Thank you Del Porto for making my mom's birthday extra special with your delicious food and great hospitality.
