Porta Asbury Park

"Love love love their pizza and pasta here. I wish I could upload more pictures, but every time my husband and I go, we’re so crazy about the food that I always forget to take pics. If you’re ever in the area, this is a definitely a must-go spot."

"We went for weekend brunch and had a nice time with good food. Especially delicious was the homemade mozzarella with bread. Only complaint was paying $25 for a small carafe of house Prosecco. We assumed we'd be getting a regular size (750ml) bottle's worth for that price."

"Delicious as always. Pizza is a sourdough crust that's Wood fired and you just can't go wrong. The octopus has definitely gone up in price and is nice but I wouldn't get it every single time. At $35 it's not the most filling dish but worth trying."

"Great place! Usually packed in the summer, but we chose an weekday lunch time and walked right in. We had drinks and appetizers. The focaccia was thin, crunchy and delicious with the marinated olives appetizer. Lots of vegetarian choices. One can seat inside at huge communal tables, at the bar or outside in the “Porta National Park.” Accessible. Dogs not allowed in the outside space."

"This was probably some of the best food we had in Asbury Park, and it wasn't that good. Everywhere we ate in AP was medicocre at best. I'm wondering if it's because it's off season in October? The chefs and good cooks have time off? I am not sure. This place had a lot of delicious sounding foods and salad, but the flavor was not there. We also ordered some type of spreadable cheese, which was fine, but everything was cold. Even the bread was just cold, sliced bread, not toasted. Straight out of a refrigerator and then served. Portions are humongous, family style. This meal is something I could have easily made at home and had it taste better. Also, there used to be a Porto in Philly, and the food was decent, and it was a popular happy hour spot. This place was also very stylish and clean. Good service. Meh food."
