This place is amazing, a nice little marketplace, deli, and restaurant all in one. The staff are very friendly and helpful. They have so many different things, huge selection for food, drinks, and snacks. A few indoor seats and a large outdoor patio. The panini I got was toasted to perfection and delicious. Overall ... really great place for lunch. Read More

First time visit during a busy Friday lunch hour, and I was pleasantly surprised! Despite the rush, the staff was friendly and efficient. One team member (I wish I could remember her name, it was really unique!) stood out for being especially polite and quick with my to-go order. The sides were super fresh and ... flavorful, definitely try the crab and potato salads. Highly recommend! Read More

Absolutely amazing experience. Got to meet John (one of the owners) but that’s not why I like this place. The food is authentic. Reminds me of my Nonn-‘s cooking. Yes I am of American Italian descent. Great to go selection. Everything looks beautiful! Minestrone soup (which can be such a tasteless soup made by so ... many) is totally flavorful full of beautiful vegetables!! Sandwich I had the Italian sub was on point and you’re talking to a New Yorker ! Thrilled to have found this awesome deli/eatery. By the way it’s super clean. Well organized in the staff is delightful and very helpful. Read More

This place is great. Sandwiches and salads always taste great with fresh/good ingredients. And I usually end up buying some great side dishes and handmade pastas for later in the week

Great Italian sandwiches. I also bought some cheeses and olive. This casual Italian deli has tasty sandwiches as well as lasagna, wines, desserts, etc.

Oh my goodness, Porta Via rocks for sandwiches! First time here. Ordered the roasted leg of lamb, with roasted eggplant and olive tapenade, and some warmed au jous (my request). And a side chopped Brussel sprout salad. $17 out the door, and I was happy to pay it! The lamb was amazing. So was the chopped salad. Top ... notch ingredients, reasonably priced, and very nice decor and ambiance both inside and out. I highly recommend Porta Via, and I will certainly be back! Read More
