Porta Porta Italian Restaurant

Catch up with friends in Saturday evening. The staffs are friendly though we just walk in without reservation but they accommodate us in just fine while other customer hasn't arrived, that's the spirit. We were served immediately by the waiters walking us through menu and recommendation, that is really warmth service. We had the house courses and herbs chicken along with juices and of course, a latte for myself. Had a great time spending there chit chat with friends and we can see the restaurant is actually full house. The waiters keep doing rounds to serve us water to keep us comfort, kudos to that! Keep up the great work and the services!

We tried the lunch menu, 3 choices @30.5 each. We took the Seafood set. You probably think it is value for money since Porta Porta pasta is around 25+ bucks until you see the Vongole portion you are getting. It is like having a kid's meal, seriously is pasta that expensive.. Calamari is a bit too chewy, fried for too long. Seafood soup is ok, a bit tangy. I know good Italian pasta ain't cheap but is really surprised by the portion. Perhaps they can try a 1 for 1 mains promotion during lunch instead and a soup/dessert + drink as an option.

Nice ambience, comforting and more importantly authentic Italian food, with a very nice and helpful waiter! He was patient and gave us good recommendations. Prawn cream farfalle is amazing. Vongole, Squid ink tagliatelle, and eggplant parmigiana are great too. Calamari is plump and fresh. Dark choc and salted caramel gelato are nice. Tiramisu is average. It was pretty quiet on a Thursday evening. Hope more people would patronise this place. My friends didn’t know what to expect but they really enjoyed the food!
