Wonderful ambiance, excellent service and food. I recently ate at IL Portico with my wife, and was so impressed, I wanted to introduce my adult children, who were visiting from out of town, to this restaurant.

Went here with my girlfriend, very cozy atmosphere , right near the fireplace. Tables were spread out where you didn’t feel like you were on top of other guests. Service was very attentive. the owner himself came to our table and greeted us. The food was very unique , in a good way. I had the short ribs with risotto. The short ribs literally melted in my mouth, and the aju was very rich and flavorful. The risotto was very creamy and light. My partner had the scallops. They were cooked to perfection. The only aspect of this establishment that could use a brush up is their dessert department. Very lacking, in my opinion. Certainly not something that would stop me from visiting again.

There’s nothing better than a restaurant where the owner takes personal care of every patron. From the minute you enter Il Portico, you are assured of a fantastic culinary experience. The owner (of pervious celebrity Pro Soccer fame) presides over every detail to guarantee your complete satisfaction. We are regular customers and very much look forward to dining in the historic village with the absolute best Italian food this side of the Atlantic. Try the Octopus, Chicken Parm, or the Cacio Pepe, some of our favorites!

A wonderful place with great food. Thought it a little quirky they don’t take walk ins at all but I have to say, I felt very special and will definitely be back!

ZERO STARS!! Waited 20 minutes for the bartender to come over & take our drink order. After 40 minutes with no menus (or even bread on the table) my husband asked the owner nicely for menus & the owner told him “stop being anxious”. That’s when we decided to pay for our drinks & go elsewhere. The bartender told the owner that we were leaving and he said “tell them to sit down & relax they’re acting like children”. A good owner would’ve come over to the table to apologize & make things right. Absolutely a horrible experience!

This quaint little restaurant set in historic Tappan New York, is a Hidden Gem just 45 minutes north of New York City. I had the panko-crusted grilled chicken, gnocchi, grilled octopus, and fish. All were supremely prepared, and served by are enthusiastic host, and owner, Pepe. The price is about $25 per plate, and drinks are about $12 each. Now I know why it’s pretty full each night! PS: There are 2 dining medium size dining room, and a bar.

Horrible! The owner was rude and made us feel uncomfortable the moment we walked it. We arrived 10 minutes early of our reservation and was scolded for coming in early and we were not allowed to sit at the bar to wait for the rest of our friends joining for dinner. The place was empty! After 40 minutes, no menu was provided for us and after, politely asking for menus, was told, “stop being so anxious “. Needless to say, we left the restaurant and enjoyed dinner at Giulios Restaurant that night.

DO NOT waste your time or money here. The owner was extremely rude. I made reservations in advance for a Saturday evening seating. My reservations were changed from 7 to 7:15 without me initiating it. When we arrived “early”, we were scolded and were told that we were NOT ALLOWED to sit at the bar. The place was EMPTY. Once we were finally seated, we waited over 20 minutes for the bartender to come to our table to take drink orders. After waiting over 40 minutes, we still hadn’t been introduced to our waiter/waitress nor were given menus. After patiently waiting, someone asked for the menus and again was rudely spoked to by the owner and was told to “stop being anxious”. We decided to pay for our drinks (which by the way weren’t even made correctly) …. and leave.

The owner and the waitress were absolutely amazing and hospitable. They made the evening for my date and I, unforgettable. The ambience was very romantic, and the food was absolutely delicious. The entire establishment felt very elegant, clean and beautiful. Hands down, this was the best place I’ve reserved, in years! Can’t wait to come back again!
