Osteria Del Porto 212 Front Street, Manhattan, New York 10038

"This is one of my all time favorite places to meet up with my friends for perfect cocktails, delicious foods, and close conversation. The ambiance is a quaint elegant Italian cafe with an intimate bar and larger second floor space. The food is upscale Italian with larger entrees and smaller apps and side dishes we like to order like tapas. And the bartender is one of my most favorite people in the world!"

"This is a very nice restaurant by seaport. Nice atmosphere to have dinner. Everything from the appetizers menu is good. I like the artichoke the best. Main dishes is good too. Pasta are better than white or red meat for this restaurant. I like the pasta to be cook longer. Meat can be more juicy. Overall a very nice restaurant for a date night."

"Divine! Stopped by here for a spontaneous summer dinner while walking my dog. We were sat outside by the lamp post. They immediately gave my dog some water. The lamb ragu pasta was delicious but not overwhelmingly rich. But it was the tiramisu that took it home for me. Wine was also good. Good value for money. Staff was really nice, attentive, and competent."

"Loved it, great location. We sat outside, it was a beautiful day, sunny but nice breeze. Staff was very helpful and friendly. Food was really good. Never had fried artichoke, very yummy def worth trying. We all had something different and everyone enjoyed their meals. The Chardonnay we ordered went very well with the meal."

"Loved this authentic Italian restaurant near South Street Seaport: great food, wine and ambiance! It’s a nice area to walk around and the weather was mild enough to sit outside. It was perfect for people watching while we sipped on a glass of wine. Service was excellent and we were seated promptly as we had made reservations ahead of time. I had the Cacio E Pepe served in a crispy cheese bowl and roasted brussel sprouts which were both delicious. My daughter had a lobster pasta, not on the menu, but a recent special that they accommodated and she loved. We capped the dinner with a light and beautifully presented Italian dessert. All in all, we enjoyed our time at Osteria Del Porto and would visit again. It was a great find in the Financial District!"
