Porta Nera Italian American Restaurant

Was so excited to find a cannoli nearby. The food was good. Service good. It was a nice place to have a dinner with friends or family. I would eat here again.

No where close to Vincenzo’s! We had calamari, Caesar salad, house salad, seafood risotto, and chicken parmigiana. The calamari was good, but the marinara sauce was tasteless. The Caesar salad was another tasteless wonder. I can’t comment on the house salad with ranch dressing. The seafood risotto was a disappointment. The shrimp was over cooked and dry, the risotto tasted like brown rice that was not cooked and then a jar of poor sauce poured over it, and boiled away. The tiny scallops and muscles were good. Heaven forbid they furnish another dish for the muscle shells! That would take away from the informal atmosphere they are trying to portray! I heard the chicken was good! The rolls were good, but the garlic butter for $3.00 more was frozen and tasteless! They are still posting reviews from Vincenzo’s which is totally misleading. They are not even close!

If the veal had been available it would have been 5 ***** 's Portion sizes were excellent. The Calamari and the Mussels were beyond excellent flavors, temperatures everything..... We will be back xxx Food : 4/5 | Service : 5/5 | Atmosphere : 5/5 … More
