Didn't capture any food pictures, but all were delicious. The bread (for an Italian restaurant) wasn't my favorite. Portion size was plenty. I had spinach ravioli, a friend had lobster ravioli and 3rd had veal. All said delicious. They were very sweet and brought out a 70th BD slice of mouse pie and yum yum!

Our server was frickin aloof for most of the evening. He was just dixkin' around on his phone most of the time or chatting away with other employees.App of stuffed Mushrooms, was different. The mushrooms were served over a vodka type sauce with lobster stock. The sauce was not for me.Bread...didn't like it. First batch no butter second had butter brushed on it. Bread was too seeet, like Hawaiian sweet roll sweet.Ceasar salad was a Cesar salad it was as expected Lasagna bolegnese was good overall, tomato sauce was waaaay too sweet, but the pasta was good. Interesting platingSmall but mighty wine list. This was a plus

Was on a work trip and I think this might be the only place within walking distance of the Renaissance. Service was friendly but a little slow. I really enjoyed their outside patio as it was a perfect night. Food was standard.

Great Italian food and service at a lovely restaurant in Richardson, Texas. Across from the renaissance Richardson (Marriott) and the local performing arts center. Stopped in on a work trip to have dinner and thoroughly enjoyed the meal. Highly recommend the tortellini and stuffed mushrooms. House salad with a tomato dressing was just okay.

We came to Port de Roma because it was right next to the hotel that our friends were staying at. We had a party of 7 but initially only 3 of us were there. They allowed us to be seated even though we did not have a reservation and our full party was not there. We were immediately given waters, and our drink orders were taken. I got a glass of Pinto Noir, and my husband and daughter got soda. We also ordered appetizers; the calamari and mozzarella sticks. They also brought out fresh bread that was hot from the oven. Once the rest of our party got there, they took their drink orders and also took our food orders. I got the Veal di Masala, my husband got the Stromboli, and my daughter got the Fettuccine Alfredo. My food was super tasty, and the sauce was amazing, and the mushrooms paired so nicely with the meat. My Pinot Noir was one of the best that I have had. I enjoyed it so much that I got a second glass. This restaurant has a decent amount of seating. They also have a full bar and bar seating area as well. One challenge that you may have to conquer is parking. They have limited free street parking for 2 hours. Otherwise, you may have to pay for parking or valet park at the hotel, they do comp the fee if you get something from the restaurant or bar.We will definitely go back again when we are in the Richardson area.

Our group of 6 arrived at 5:30PM on a Saturday night. We were looking forward to a nice dinner before heading across the street for a 7:30PM show we already had tickets for. We made reservations in advance so were seated quickly. Our server took our drink orders. He didn't say much. After a few minutes he took our food order. A couple people got their mediocre iceberg side salads but after that no other food arrived - unless you count the bread we received after having to ask for it when all the tables around us had bread. We received one piece per person and after the baskets were empty our server removed them and no other bread was given or offered. Once we noticed all the other tables around us had received their food we asked our server if he could check on our order. He said " I can't, i don't work in the kitchen" We went ahead and asked for our checks but we were waiting to pay till after our food arrived ( it never did!). Our server never asked if anyone wanted additional drinks. ( 2 people had mixed drinks, 3 people had wine) At this point it had been an hour and time was ticking away. Fast forward to 7:05PM when we asked again (3rd time) the manager came to our table to apologize that there had been an issue. Our food was never made!!!! ( some issue with our ticket being misplaced) She said she could have it out in 7 minutes. That was not going to work since we had tickets to a show ...so we left. We were hungry and frustrated to say the least especially since we had asked about our order multiple times. Other things I'd like to add - only drink refills we got were ones we had to ask for, the wine that was ordered wasn't poured for us the bottle was just left on the table, the dirty salad plates sat on our table, there was no toilet paper in the first stall in the restroom. We were told by our server that "the chef refused to make pink sauce" ( mix marinara and Alfredo sauce together) As it turns out he refused to make us anything. The server added a 18% gratuity to our checks. Over an hour and a half spent at a restaurant that can't serve food. Unacceptable !!!

We ate at Porta before a concert. We arrived at 6 and had good service at first. The only chardonnay they had was a brand my wife doesn't like, so that was a negative. I had a good Merlot.For dinner she had chicken piccata and I ordered spaghettini bolognese. When the food came, I asked for parmesan cheese. The server disappeared and apparently promptly forgot. I can accept that, but when I asked a different server the second time, she also never returned. Finally a server came to our part of the restaurant and I was able to get the parmesan, after I had almost finished my meal. Food was OK but not great. Service was not so hot. We agreed next time we go to the Eisemann for a concert we will eat in City Line, which is nearby, and skip Porta di Roma.

Foods are very delicious. Pastas are very tasty and the texture of them are meets my expectations. The bread is very fresh and crispy. Servers are very nice. Warm service like family. Tables setting are professional. Sparkling clean. Lights are traditionally beautiful. Highly recommended.
