I’ve been here twice, once with a late party and a party of 6 and both times we had incredible service and the food is delicious. Even the basics are incredible. No children’s menus so if your kids are picky then make sure to look at the selections. We had the chicken cutlet (served with a garlic parsley oil if you like), meatballs, margherita pizza, carbonara pizza. The carbonara pizza is to die for. Excellent marinara sauce and meatballs. Get the bread basket to soak up the sauce!
Be careful guys, rats are walking around the place! I saw them. We mentioned to the waiter, he told to the manager and the answer was… ok I going to handle! The manager was so so

My friend and I went to Porta for dinner last night. While we love Porta, unfortunately Porta did not love us back. My friend ended up throwing up at about 6 am and I haven’t left the bathroom all day. Something we ate most definitely didn’t sit right with either of us which makes sense as we shared the dishes we got. Definitely unfortunate because otherwise we had a pretty good time.

Me and my girlfriend decided to stop and eat brunch at Porta last Saturday. We were both excited considering the location in Asbury Park is great. However both of us were extremely disappointed by the fact that we were seated in a far corner of the restaurant and not acknowledged at all. We noticed all the wait-staff on their phones leaning on the bar when we were walking in, but it seems like they all wanted the day off when we finally got seated because they all filed into a separate room. The worst part of this all is the restaurant was barely busy, plenty of empty area and yet we were still ignored for over 15 minutes. We tried flagging a waitress down, and I even flipped my chair 180 degrees and looked several of them in the eyes in hope of being noticed. While making our exodus I really don't think the hosts even noticed that we were leaving too soon, it's a shame because at the very least they did their half of the job. Even more astounding how the Greek Diner across the street was far busier and we were able to be seated and receive our orders in the same amount of time we waited for a single human being to introduce themselves at Porta. I would totally recommend this place if you enjoy sitting in a restaurant-themed room. The lack of service would allow you to catch up on your reading.

My boyfriend and I went today for brunch and sat for 15 minutes at a table without ever having a waitress come over to introduce herself at the minimum. We tried flagging staff down and were ignored. Eventually we got up and walked out. The hostesses were very nice but didn't even realize we left without eating. I'm disappointed since I love the Porta in Asbury Park. I don't think I'll be back in Montclair.

We enjoyed Porta in Montclair! We reserved ahead of time and arrived on a Fri eve and seated promptly. The restaurant was busy but not completely full at 7:15. We had a table but there are also large communal tables also which look fun. Our server, Ivy, was fantastic! She walked us through the menu and made solid recommendation’s. The salads are big enough to share for 4. The kale was really good. We ordered 2 pizzas, One with shaved Brussel sprouts (wonderful) and the meatball pie. We also had the risotto which was good. Next time we want to try the “cutlets”; tables around us seemed to really enjoy them! This is one of the MTC restaurants that serve alcohol- wasn’t thrilled with the wine by the glass quality, but overall we had a very good experience! Looking forward to returning.
