What CaseyandSue doesn't like about Al Porto Ristorante:
We had a reasonably nice meal here but the views are not quite like the website. Unfortunately, the Gastown area is becoming very run-down and this is impacting on all of the facilities in the area. Food was good, but not spectacular, which was disappointing as I love Italian cuisine. View all feedback. What Abigail O. Ameh likes about Al Porto Ristorante:
We had an amazing experienced at Al Porto. It was our first time and we came for our Anniversary. Food and tiramisu dessert was excellent will definitely come back. View all feedback.

Super cute place to go on a date or if you are visiting like me! Really lovely atmosphere that I enjoyed during the meal.

Seriously, our party of six makes a reservation weeks in advance for dinner on a night in December only to receive a phone call 2 weeks before the event.

The service here was very attentive. The food and wine were excellent and the bill was reasonable. The restaurant is nicely laid out, well decorated and quiet.

Located in Gastown, this Italian restaurant offers a traditional dining experience with a mix of highs and lows. While some diners found the food to be good but not exceptional, others enjoyed dishes like the Gnocchi and Arancini Funghi. The ambiance was praised for its romantic Italian vibe, with dim lighting and authentic décor. Some guests appreciated the Groupon deal, making the overall dining experience more affordable. The service received top marks with friendly and efficient waitstaff. However, opinions were divided on the overall quality and value of the food. Overall, this restaurant seems to offer a mix of experiences, from exceptional meals to average dining, making it a hit or miss depending on individual preferences.
