Returned to Il Porto in Gaithersburg after several years absence. Our family used to enjoy dinners there with our parents and I remember the meals we shared there. So we stopped by yesterday at around 4 pm Saturday for a meal filled with carefully prepared entrees, flavors and a dining experience that brought back fond memories of a good time in our lives. I had the Osso Buco, risotto and asparagus, and my sibling had the Chilean Sea Bass with Broccolini. Both were delicious, flavorful, and familiar – in the best way possible. We were reminded why we used to love this establishment and it was one of our family’s favorite places to go. Thank you, Il Porto. Keep on doing what you are doing and keep the tradition going.

Good Italian food with great service and ambiance. We loved all the entres that we ordered. I also liked the entrance with flower decorations as it gives a welcoming feeling as we enter the place. I recommend this restaurant for good dining experience.

My husband and I celebrated our wedding reception at Il Porto on 06/07/2025! What a memorable evening & night! I only have positive words to say about Mr. Alberto, Mayra and staff. Mr. Alberto and Mayra were so accommodating and worked with my vision. The staff members were very friendly and attentive, and the food was so delicious! We received many compliments from family members on how delicious the Italian cuisine was at Il Porto. A huge thank you from my husband and I for giving us the opportunity to celebrate our special day at Il Porto! We will be back for dinner dates soon.

The food was okay, I ordered the Chicken Parmesan , the pasta and chicken didn’t have flavor. The food was bland. The bread could be better and served with real oil with actual herbs for the Italian authenticity . The waiter was okay, I feel there was a lot of micro aggression( I’m a black woman).

When we first walked in, the gentleman greeted us with half a distorted smile. He then looked over his shoulder and the manager and chef shook their heads no. He walked over to them for a short convo and then came back stating, “sorry, we cannot take you at this time. We are not even supposed to be open.” There were a few other couples in the dining room eating. But this appeared to be a moment of profiling us as we were not up to their standard of snobby dressed customers, but we were presentable. No holes in our clothes, no saggy pants, hair clean and brushed. The manager did not even have the balls to come over to us. I do not recommend this place.

We are not fans of Italian restaurants, but today we ended here without any plans. For our surprise, the food is amazing! We ended both ordering the same dishes. Crab bisque and lobster ravioli. All prepared here and you can tell. Wow, simply delicious! The service is great too!
