Our experience was a 5-star one! Good thing we ate here before reading the bad reviews, or we might not have come at all.
From the greeting at entry, to the personal attention the owner gave us, and our server's attitude, we couldn't be happier with the service.
And food? Nothing short of authentic, Italian delicacy. My Veal Saltimbocca and my wife's Shrimp & Scallop Risotto were perfectly balanced in flavor and tenderness. Portions were just right, and prices reasonable.
When in Dallas, definitely give this place a try.

Dined in here last night and the staff was extremely friendly. Iâve actually walked into this place before and walked out because I wasnât feeling it (yes I know, I was that annoying person). Anywho, this time I gave it a chance and boy did it impress. I did dirty things to the Tortellini alla Vodka and I donât say this often⌠but you should too! Next up was the Spisy Pizza (spicy sausage?). Both were so good that I actually took them home with me, left them open on the table, and waited patiently until I could eat the rest.
ONE THING - I will say I ordered a $60 bottle of wine that was supposed to be the nicer of wines⌠but it was no bueno. So Iâd stick to the food. I donât even think that deserves a star off, thatâs how good the food was.

This beautiful pearl is perfect for a good Italian tiramisu or a good sambucca. If you love Italian flair paired with southern luxury, then you need to come in and find out. The prices are moderate compared to the quality. I found a new hot spot for me and my wife in downtown Dallas.... perfect time for you â¤ď¸

I had the most amazing dinner, and the staff is outstanding. The food was amazing. I highly recommend this restaurant. I will definitely be back and will be bringing my business partners.
Tahir Zia
The pasta was amazing. The sauce had so much flavour and the pasta was cooked to perfection. The cheesecake was recommended and did not disappoint. Highly recommend this place for real authentic Italian dining with great service.
Sammy Torres
Waitress was tentative but not over baring. Atmosphere was great not a huge place but still big. Food was NOT microwaved or premade excellent had flavor and fresh tasting! Greek salad and Stromboli calzone could have fed 3 people. Definitely get what you paid for!
Ciara Navarro
We stopped by for a drink before a concert and Omar was excellent! He made delicious drinks and made great conversation with us during our visit to Porta di Roma. We will be back for the great service and delicious food! Thanks, Omar!
Nelson Roman
All our dishes were well presented and well cooked. I loved the flavor and the time it took to get to our table. The server was very polite and very active. Portions are good and the price is really good for the area. Will def recommend it to my co workers and friends....

Wonderful dinner last night. Started off with Caesar salad, then had Tortellini alla vodka as my entree. Had a nice Malbec to pair with my meal. I also left my pricey sunglasses on the table. I called them the next day and they had put them up behind the bar for me to pick up. Great atmosphere, great food, great service and honest as well. I will definitely be back.
Kelly Thomas
I had a great lunch meeting with my colleagues here. Very quiet and homely atmosphere. The staff was extremely friendly. The man behind the bar was so kind and funny. Definitely order the pizza!

Stephanie Anderson Boone
The best Italian food Iâve had outside of Italy!! It was extraordinary!! Service was also great!! A must for anyone visiting Dallas.
Kassandra Rodgers
Lasagna and chicken alfredo were amazing. Lasagna was the best I've ever eaten. The wait staff was awesome and the kitchen offered to stay open a little later to take out order. And great ambience. Will definitely be back.

There food was great n customer service was on point.
Chris Hedgpeth Oldham
Our waitress was wonderful she gets 5 stars. Everything else was adequate. Nothing memorable to create a desire for a return visit.
Joe Ledbetter
Some of the best Pizza Iâve ever ate. I had the Pizza Florentina. My wife had the spaghetti with mushroom sauce. She said it was the best spaghetti sheâs ever ate! Service was also great. Highly recommended.
Valerie Bahm-Logsdon

Zoraya M Moran
The customer service is very bad.. The food is mediocre, it used to be a better place a few years ago.
Graysaint
Surprising little Italian place. I recommend the Chicken Pizzaiola. Melts in your mouth with wonderful flavor. Tirimasu was delicious. Service treated me, and out of towner, nicely and with respect. They treated their regulars even better. Food was served promptly. Clean. Definitely recommended.
Ken Shapley
Awesome food! Can't believe anyone would rate it lower than a 5.0. I've eaten at all the Italian places downtown, more than once or twice, there is no comparison. I only go here now and I enjoy many recipes and entrees.
Nyssa Hughes
OK food. Went there for a happy hour special and got a glass of house wine that I am pretty sure was watered down. Wouldn't suggest this place.
Nmscubagirl
The worst. Couldn't get service. The waiter walked away in the middle of taking our order and didn't come back for a long time. We didn't have anything but water at our table so we left. When I realized I left my sweater, we went back for it and the owner immediately started yelling at us and being aggressive and threatening saying we owed him money even though the waiter never finished taking our order. We were very threatened by the owner so we gave him money to get the sweater back and then left. I can't imagine why anyone would ever go here.
Ellenfitz012
Very poor service!. Started out Ok. Waiter took order brought our drinks and appetizer and never seen him again. Our water glass had lipstick all over, kitchen girl said oh my let me get a new one. Asked another waiter for more wine, she said sure. 20 minutes later told hostess we were waiting on more wine. Owner came over and said sorry waiter had trouble with computer doing separate checks for large party. Nothing he could do, what did we want. Very rude. No water and no wine.

Ummmmmmmmmmââââ. Have you seen a Woody Allen movie? Because this is what he's preaching about. First off, Jeff Zinn is the best waiter ever. Happy hour never ended. Second, they were extremely accommodating, I felt like I was at home :). Awesome atmosphere, service, and food!!
Karen King
The entree was good. The server did not speak English well, however, and left us waiting half an hour for our check.
Mary McCune
The veggies in my pasta were way underdone. The Alfredo sauce was very bland. There was also lettuce in my dish... (Odd choice for Fettucine primavera) garlic bread was greasy and flavorless. Cheap, but you get what you pay for. Wouldn't come back.
Jessica Dawn
Cold food. Rude manager. Horrible service.
Ray
NOT GOOD AT ALL. Not good at all. Ordered the cheese sticks cold and clearly were frozen and reheated like you would get in the frozen section of your grocery. The calzone was mostly dough and was so soggy. It was mostly ricotta cheese, virtually no meat toppings. The pasta was just not good, I could not recommend this place in any way.
Dan ⢠The Ardent Chef
Really good Italian food at good prices.
Tim Crouch
I had the Pizza Siciliana with "thick" crust. Pros - tasty, very spicy. Con - crust was burnt in edges and underwhelming. Cook came out and said it was thicker than other crusts and cooked twice. Wife had Gnocchi al Vodka. Pro - was tasty and gnocchi was fresh. Con - chicken was dry and overlooked. Overall, pretty good and would recommend.
DA
Great Bar Service!. Was there with a buddy having drinks..Kristina gave great service very efficient and friendly
Sara Jacobs Gravesen
Had the best service from Olga! Everything was delicious and fresh! From the salad, to the bread, pizza, an veal! Delicious!!

With the name, Porta di Roma" which so often is mispronounced but when said correctly, it becomes a very pleasant tone to the eardrum. Still the name alone cannot even begin to define this beautiful, Authentic Italian restaurant. Simply put, in only one sentence I'd say, " Let the Food Speak for Itself!" That's all you need to hear.
Jake
Great Italian. My husband and nephew and I visited Porta Di Roma on Saturday evening. It was delicious. We started with Calamari and Salads. I had the Lasagna special. My nephew had the Calzone (best calzone that I've ever tasted). My husband had cheese pizza (I'm not a fan of cheese pizza but it was very tasty). We had drinks from the bar and they were very well prepared. For dessert we had Tiramisu also very tasty. The dĂŠcor is nice with great views of Main Street.
Christopher Rixon
Great fresh bread!! Great Italian entrees. It typically wouldn't be great to eat off each other's plates at a restaurant. But in this case, you want to try everything at Porta di Roma. Great atmosphere, besides the club music. I rather have authentic Italian restaurants have authentic music, in my opinion.
Genell
After reading so many great reviews we had to try it, OH MY GOSH the food was very good, our table of four cleaned their plates! A must! next trip to Dallas I will be dining here again
Laura Archbold
Very much a dive. But, very tasty.
Karl From Philly
Do not order the salmon. Worst piece of fish I have ever been served.
Amanda M. Freitag
Porta is great. Highly recommend the Vodka sauce! Recently had the tirimsu and it had a little too much chocolate sauce but otherwise it was wonderful! I go here all the time.
Robert Hubbard
Food is good but atmosphere makes you wonder if your food is safe to eat. It's kinda like a restaurant opened up in your office cubicle. They also have a Livy's style cafeteria. Food is a plus but atmosphere is horrible. Don't take a date here if you want to get laid.
WCP
Great pizza although a little pricey. Wonderful taste and quick service.
Linda
Rehersal Dinner. We had our son wedding rehersal at Pora di Roma. The Food , Atmosphere was top notch. Demi the owner and the wait staff were WONDERFUL. Please consider Porta di Roma for your special event or just for your dinner pleasure. This place is AWESOME!
Trish
Was good! The house dressing was delicious. I recommend sitting by te windows and people watching.
Foodiebynature
I love it here! Possibly one of the best pizzas in Dallas. Everyone that works there is super nice.
Kyle Belcina
The best italian place so far that i went to
Dana Saunders
This is the best Italian restuarant I have been to in Texas! The pizza is authetic and the service is awesome! The owner makes the dishes hisself. It's a must whenever in Downtown Dallas. You won't regret it!
Reverend V
Skip this place for something - anything - in Uptown. Service is lacking and the food isn't far behind. A hotog from the hotdog guy on the corner is a better value.
TKS
Good food, atmosphere, and service.. I took my family there a couple of months back. We all enjoyed our food and the service was fantastic. Awesome garlic bread! Highly recommended.
Chris
Great Attitudes. I had the pleasure of dining at the Porta di Roma while in Dallas the 7th of April. I can't say as I have had much more fun than what I did that night. The waitress was from Romania and I teased her about her accent not being the normal southern brawl. She was a riot after that and she was an excellent server as well. The Manicotti was probably the best I have ever had too! So all in all, I give the food and the service a BIG THUMBS UP! And HIGHLY recommend for anyone even close to the Dallas area to visit and say Howdy!
