Reviews for Al Porto Ristorante in Vancouver, BC
Very traditional food. The salad caprese was of poor quality. We had the salmon and the catch of the day. To similar plates were... served with risotto and vegetables, the only difference was the fish. The interior needs a bit of an update too. Friendly staff. Read more
5 stars for the service, Sixto was a fantastic server - super quick, and super friendly and gave good tips on what to have for... their early dinner special; he suggested the lemon tart and it was perfect - would have been even better if they had espressocappuccino!! But otherwise, the food was awesome and the restaurant itself is super nice. Perfect level of music volume, clean,and classy :) the host was also very nice! Read more
A very nice Italian place that was close to our hotel with great decor in a comfortable setting. The food was top notch. Our... pizza and ghocchi were fresh and delicious. Would recommend. Only downside was service differed between patrons, kind ofinconsistent. But they were great with our kid. If you're craving pizza/pasta then it's perfect for you. Read more
We enjoyed the food. A bit on the expensive side but quality and taste were great so I'd say it's reasonable. However, the... service was not quite consistent with every patrons. You can see how they are more attentive to others and to some, barelychecks on you. The lady that has the white table napkin going around saying she was the server barely checked on us. We came10mins before the early dinner promo and mentioned it to us saying we got 10mins, and with our menus closed and ready to orderjust in time, she is nowhere to be found. Walking past us and not making eye contact. It was the lady that gave us water andtook away our plates that gave us more attention. I seriously hoped she got our tip and not the other one. Read more
The atmosphere was fantastic. Looked pretty old class and stylish. The desserts and appetizers were great. Main course though,... was the only time in my life that I did not eat my steak completely. It was char. But, too char. Some pieces had just charcoaltaste. During our main course, no one stopped by to check if everything is fine. When they came for the plates, I asked fortalking to the chef about it. Our waitress was so friendly and offered us free drinks or cutting the dessert’s fee, andexplained they were short on staff. We might be back in summer as I liked the sunset view of the second floor. But, itdefinitely will not be a steak Read more
Came upon this restaurant by chance when another restaurant was full. We’ve always walked passed here but never stopped to try... and are we glad we did! The service was amazing and the appetizers *chefs kiss* 10/10. For mains I got the linguine pescatoreand I was in love. We also had the shrimp and prawns risotto which wasn’t as yummy as the server made it out to be. Theatmosphere is on the fancier side so the food is on the pricier side. Read more
Wow wow wow.. The food was amazing. My kids don't even like fish but they loved my Halibut.. Craig the server had a perfect... balance of when to come by and didnt show up too many times to be annoying.. My wife and I were there 8 years ago and it was ok.But this time it was really good.. Normally I'm the first one done eating dinner. But this time I was last cause I loved thetaste so much I didn't want it to end.. Sorry Honey, but this was the best meal I have had in a long long time if not ever.. Read more
Really great atmosphere here. Food was good. Had the mussels appetizer, bruschetta, butternut soup, salmon for dinner. Best... service from Annaka. Not sure it would have been a five star without her attention to detail. Nice night out there. Greatlocation. Read more
