Food was hands down delicious it was like sitting at my nana’s table again there were no bad bits in this meal and all bits where taken portion size were perfect. I left feeling full, but did not have leftovers to schlep around on my Journey home. The crème brûlée was some of the best I have ever had servers where supper attentive and friendly and the restaurant is very very cozy upstairs is definitely a lil quieter and gave a more intimate vibe.

We’ve dined here many times, and the food is consistently outstanding. Tonight was especially meaningful as my husband and I celebrated five years together. We originally started our evening at another restaurant, but it just didn’t meet our expectations. Thankfully, Orlando at the bar and the incredible team at Osteria Del Porto truly saved the night. From the delicious food and wonderful wine to the warm, inviting ambiance, everything was perfect. We’re so grateful for such a memorable experience!

Stumbled across this place for drinks, but saw the food served next to us and had to stay. The grapefruit mule was extremely refreshing and served in the most beautiful copper cup (it matters). We each ordered different things, but I would definitely say mine was the best which always rocks—I got the black truffle gnocchi!

This cute little Italian spot is unassuming and accessible. After having had a few cocktails around the corner my friend and I needed dinner and hadn’t planned ahead. We were able to walk in and were seated right away. Food was lovely, wine was better, service was attentive and we even hung out for a bit as we didn’t feel rushed.
If your in the area this might fit the bill, not sure I would go too far out of my way but options in this area can be limited so you won’t be disappointed if you end up here.

It was so good!
Quite Italian atmosphere. Small cozy place.
Dinner was served pretty quickly.
We tried special pasta with crab meat.
It was delicious.
Beet salad is a must try! Sweet beets with somehow fried cheese-it’s a yum combination!
Burrata with prosciutto was good, especially nice touch with baked bell peppers.
Desserts are must try.
It was my first Ricotta cheesecake. Very unusual taste.
Tiramisu was extremely moisture and not sweet at all.
So, highly recommend for tasty food lovers!

Osteria Del Porto is a charming Italian restaurant located at the Seaport in New York City.
The staff and management provided exceptional service.
From the appetizers to the main course, the food was extraordinarily delicious.
The restaurant has a cozy atmosphere, making it a worthwhile destination.
On a pleasant day, consider sitting at a table outside.

I just had my third lovely meal here so thought it time to give these folks the credit they deserve! Such an unpretentious place but delivers in so many ways… food is like good home-cooking… comforting and always arrives hot from the busy, open kitchen. I’ve had several nice pasta dishes, and keep getting the artichokes in a parmesan cup (because it’s just that good!) but look foward to trying some of the other delicious-looking dishes I’ve observed. Service is pleasant and you’re greeted the moment you sit down, even at the bar. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been given short shrift at other places as a customer eating at the bar. This is the kind of place you can just fall into and relax when you’re in the neighborhood. I see they get many positive reviews but I still feel like I’m letting you know about a hidden gem!

The atmosphere is fantastic, whether dining indoors or outdoors—both options are equally enjoyable. While the food was fresh, I found the flavors a bit subdued for my taste and felt that some dishes could benefit from a bit more seasoning. We started with the snow pea salad, which was wonderfully crisp and refreshing. For a hearty main course, the Chicken Milanese is a solid choice, though I’d prefer it pounded thinner. It’s quite meaty, so if that’s your style, you’ll enjoy it. My son’s buttered pasta was a standout for me—perfectly cooked Spaghettoni, simple yet delicious. The meatballs were impressively light, and the sugo had great flavor, though both could’ve used a touch more salt to really bring out the best in the ingredients. The mushroom bruschetta, while pleasant, also lacked a bit of depth in flavor. That said, I’d definitely return. The experience was still enjoyable, and next time, I’ll just be sure to have a little salt handy to enhance the dishes to my liking.

Had dinner at Osteria del Porto and overall had a lovely experience. The ambiance was lovely—warm, dimly lit, and peaceful upstairs, while the downstairs has a bar area that we’ll check out next time.
Food-wise, the Tortellini Toscani was a bit under-seasoned and slightly doughy for my taste, but the Ravioli di Zucca was much better. The Mango Salad was refreshing, and the Arancini al Limone made for a fresh, light start.
For dessert, we tried the Crème Brûlée and Tiramisu, both of which were light and delicious. Looking forward to coming back and trying more!

We did not have a reservation and were seated immediately. The server was friendly, but it took a while to get our check. We got the burrata and seafood salad, both were excellent, the seafood salad had a nice dressing and was very fresh. The mains, the veal and the seafood pasta salad special were good, very filling.
