Sad that the place was empty even for a Tuesday between Christmas and New Year's. I recognize that these are challenging times for restaurants, especially one offs, which we like to support over chains. Servers pleasant and helpful, but service was slow.

We were long time customers of Vincenzo's, and we hope Porta Nera survives and flourishes.

My wife and I went there, not really trying to keep the price down- and even with a bottle of wine on top of antipasti to start- and it was just over 100 bucks. For a date night, great food, and a nice cozy spot and very ambient noise levels, I’d say it’s hard to beat! Service was great, everyone seemed informative and polite. We will definitely be going back!
