Such a great vibe, but they really don't care to accommodate gluten free people for some reason. No GF pizza or pasta. Also, they didn't have coffee for brunch?!!! What the heck

Way way overpriced for what you get and for the hype this place has. I will admit I enjoy their apps and drinks. But the pizza?? No, ma'am. Just grab a slice from the pizzeria around the corner. I was really disappointed after everyone raved about how great it is.

Great flavors, nice drinks, polite serviceKid-friendliness: Loud, easy for kids not to disturb others, family style seating
If pizza and dancing is your thing, then you will love the vibe at Porta! They have fabulous pizzas to try from and great cocktails!It’s a hip and fun ambience and converts into a huge dance floor post 11-11.30 pm on Friday and Saturday evenings. It’s a super lively place in Jersey city if you’re not in the mood to head all the way to New York city.This resto bar gets super busy on Fridays and weekends. So either go in early or make a reservation!

Simply stated, this blew my expectations about pizza out of the water! I was extremely happy I went out of my comfort zone and ordered the Sping Betty! It offered an exquisite blance of flavor and the spicy savory nature was a great surprise! The crust had great texture and the cheese was a brilliant saltiness. This balanced the spinach very well but as a lover of spice, I could not get over the taste calabrian chiles! It was an amazing experience and I truly miss it! Our server was great and explained things really well! This was an amazing location for the vegans in our group because it offered multiple pizza options (4) for vegans. The ability to also not include onions or garlic in the sauce for some of our group made it amazing(especially for people with GI issues) this was truly accommodating and spike volumes of the great place this is!Vegetarian options: They have both vegetarian and vegan food options. Clearly labeled vegan options.Dietary restrictions: They made food without onions and garlic for all my swaminarayan, jain, and low FODMAP friends!

Having had a great meal the first time was in the neighborhood do was anxious to try again. What a big mistake! First time calamari was done to perfection , This time YUCK! More like refried from the previous day -greasy and overcooked. Ordered a pizza recommended by the server and it was a good choice. Porta food probably best after you've had more than a few drinks. Definitely not worth it if you're looking for great pizza

Can't really comment on the food as we just grabbed a few drinks. The staff was friendly, but found that their draft beer menu was very limited..

Very disappointed! I really wanted to eat here because the meatballs are so good, but... our waiter was so slow and messes up everything! The appetizer arrived 5 to 7 minutes apart: first the mozzarella which was delicious and 7 minutes later my fried calamari arrived which was ok! Then when we ordered our main course they brought out my spaghetti pomodoro which I ordered with meatballs on the side and guess what? They forgot my meatballs and after 15 to 17 minutes they finally brought my boyfriend's food and because we had to remind them about his octopus and my meatballs. Since the meatballs didn't arrive I had to give up and cancel that order, so I had to eat my spaghetti which was already getting cold (I hate cold food). As for the octopus, I must say that they were undercooked and had no flavor at all. I give them two stars only because the spaghetti pomodoro was very good! But to be honest I don't think we will go back as this is the second time this has happened.

Food tasted great but waiters are horrible and bussers had better attitudes. Hope they get more of the tip. Ambiance is good especially for a group like us who is here to just have fun and catch up with each other.
