I love Porta 23. Thé food is always delicious and they are so accommodating. Easy to walk by cause it is small so keep an eye out. Wonderful service and they treat you super well and make a point to remember customers who come in often. It is my favorite spot in the neighborhood for an intimate date or to take myself out and relax when I don’t want to eat at home and want to treat myself. Also great to pick up the cheese bread for if you are hosting - Marlena Prast
