Laporta's Restaurant 1600 Duke Street, Alexandria, VA 22314

"Amazing vegetarian dish and delicious drink but my favorite was dessert! Next time I'm starting with dessert. Jazz tonight was amazing with Elin on the mic:)"

"I came for the Jazz Brunch on Sunday at noon, and my experience was absolutely enjoyable. Stephanie, the hostess, was so very helpful in helping us place a reservation which was ready as soon as we arrived. Our server Adonis was pleasant and professional throughout our time at Laporta's, with a great smile and a sense of humor as well. I got scrambled eggs with bacon, sausage and hash brown potatoes. Others in my party got the trout, steak and eggs, French toast and eggs Benedict. Everyone was thoroughly pleased. For dessert we ordered the apple cobbler and the Godiva chocolate cake with ice cream, and finished it off with freshly brewed coffee and espresso. The jazz guitarist played relaxing music and added to the overall ambience. We will definitely be returning, thank you!"

"We came in here on a Sunday night after my Granddaughters recital. The Jazz band was wonderful. Food was fantastic and so were the drinks."

"Simply amazing food and service! Wyndham resorts recommended it as the best Italian restaurant in the area so we thought we would give it a try. Our party of 6 walked in, a background trio was playing softly and water and buns were immediately put onto the table. Our server Joe came by and made some excellent recommendations! Hangar steak, the salmon dish and the wild mushroom pasta were simply amazing! Then the lemon tart and the carrot cake did not disappoint! I liked the fact that Joe said he has tried everything on the menu and instantly gave us his top 3 favorites. He said he and his roommate eat there frequently which says quite a lot for a restaurant. I highly recommend giving it a try if your in the area. If it's anything like our experience, you will not be disappointed!"

"First time here and they didn’t disappoint. The food was fabulous and the atmosphere was so pleasant. Smooth Jazz over the delicious crab cakes. Everyone enjoyed the evening and it was a great pre Father’s Day dinner. Kudos to everyone."
