Beef Dip Sandwich could use more mustard and onion but bread/sandwich was quite big and fluffy, a jus was a bit bland but decent. Didn’t skimp on the meat. ~$14.

Came by here on a Wednesday when I was getting my car washed to have a bite to eat during lunchtime. It’s a beautiful meat market, service was prompt, ambience feels like a genuine Italian market. I ordered the cold roast beef, Kobe style sandwich, which was pretty good but I saw a calrese sandwich which looked better and it looks like their weekend specials are both excellent – Fillet and tri-tip which I definitely want to try

Potato salad is the best, just like our better than Mom’s I tried the faro salad, it was delicious. Also try the baked ziti. The list goes on and on. Bottom line the food is excellent

Oh my goodness, Porta Via rocks for sandwiches! First time here. Ordered the roasted leg of lamb, with roasted eggplant and olive tapenade, and some warmed au jous (my request). And a side chopped Brussel sprout salad. $17 out the door, and I was happy to pay it! The lamb was amazing. So was the chopped salad.

The food, wines, coffee, beverages, sweets and some Italian goodies are just so delicious, hey also the service is five stars, this Locals know that, if you are visiting Pasadena this is a must to visit, I have been attending this place almost every weekend since September 2019! The reason? I’m meeting with my tutor, the place is just perfect for eat and drink a good glass of wine, ah FREE PARKING as well!

This place is very quaint and airy. The eatery had open aired sitting. It’s a casual dining experience, the price is a little high for the food they serve. Nothing stood out or had a wow factor. The have a wide selection of food, but the one that was recommended by lot of reviewers was the kobe roast beef sandwich, which you can make a combo by paying 11$. This meant that you can get a side salad or a soup of the day, I chose the salad. I was very disappointed with what I got. The sandwich was bland, and the bread tasted stale. After 3 bite, I decided I didn’t want to waste anymore of my daily calorie allowance on it. So I started on my salad, which was very very disappointing as well, the mix green salad looks dirty as heck. It had the look of salad that was deteriorating because of the water that it came into contact with. So I spent most of my time picking out the gross looking greens, and really only ate the tomatoes. To make matter worse, I sat next to an employee who was on her break. The whole time she was cursing and retelling the story of her horrible date from the previous night. Half way through my meal, I decided to leave because I didn’t want to hear anymore of her rants. It was very unprofessional. Why can’t she have this convo somewhere else?

Everything is so fresh here. I usually come for their sandwiches. My favorite is the Kobe style roast beef. It comes on a baguette and it’s delicious. Their salad bar is amazing as well. Great service and super friendly staff!

Well crafted Rustic Panini using crispy warm ciabatta (I think?) with high quality prosciutto, arugula, fig marmalade. A tiny bit on the pricey side but still very reasonable, and the high quality makes up for it. It has a nice seating environment too. Great to have a joint like this in this neighborhood.

I’m new to the area and this is the first place coworker took me on my first day. I’ve been hooked to the salad and salmon ever since. So yummy!
