LA PORTA

Great food. Excellent location in the heart of Northport Village. Friendly and casual atmosphere Live music at times. Good service. We love coming here. Never had a bad dish. Everything is delicious. Highly recommend.

La Porta recently opened in the heart of Northport Village, and it’s already become one of my favorite spots. The space itself is beautifully designed with a sleek, modern aesthetic and cozy touches that make it feel welcoming. You can tell a lot of thought went into creating the perfect ambiance. From the get-go, the service was outstanding. The staff was super friendly and went above and beyond to accommodate us – from adjusting drinks to our preferences to checking in throughout the meal to make sure we were happy. It’s rare to feel so genuinely taken care of. We started with the giant mozzarella sticks and calamari for appetizers – both were crispy, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned. The mozzarella sticks were gooey in the best way possible, and the calamari was tender and fresh. It

Good food, prices and service. We came on a Friday night, got seated quickly, but it took a while for our waittress to come over. We started with the espresso martini and the Amalfi. We had the pesto pasta and chicken parm. Food came out quick, service was good. We thought the servings were a little smaller than other places, and good, but not great. The drinks were good, also not great, and a little pricey, while the entrees were reasonably priced. Very cute place with outdoor seating and a bar, but only about 6 seats at the bar. Will come back to try other entrees.

Well if you like your meatballs that are like over mixed and tough then this is for you. The Eggplant was passable and the chicken parm was over cooked. Apparently the personal pizzas are what you should be getting. Lunch time was an atmosphere of 20 somethings watching TV and on their phones in-between serving you. The bathroom was out of toilet paper and hand soap .... all this was at 12:30 in the afternoon. They need to do better it's Northport after all.

Popped by La Porta for a casual dinner and had an awesome experience. We started with the mini risotto balls, which were crispy on the outside and creamy inside, paired with their amazing marinara sauce that really brought it all together. For the main course, I went with the Lucas Branzino — pan-seared and served on a bed of risotto and spinach in a white wine butter sauce. It was so good, the fish was perfectly cooked, and the risotto was creamy and flavorful. Definitely a standout dish. And for dessert, the Affogato. It was made with real Italian ingredients, espresso, gelato with a little Kahlúa. It was the perfect sweet balance. To top it all off, I had a slice of the pistachio cheesecake, which was creamy and not too sweet. Perfectly rich and the perfect way to end the meal. Can’
