About Porta Via Italian Foods
Porta Via Italian Foods is a new takeaway/eat in food concept created by co-founders Victor Ciulla and John Weithas that offers delicious freshly prepared meals in a sleek, modern setting. In a fast-paced world where families and professionals have an increasing desire for great food but are pressed for time, Porta Via Italian Foods is the solution.
The Partners envisioned food inspired by the vibrant, bright flavors of Italy, the Mediterranean and California. Think of this incredibly fresh food ready to go in an instant. Picture a beautiful and modern retail space that reflects all that vitality, abundance and sophistication, and you have Porta Via Italian Foods. The space welcomes its guests to not only pick up a freshly prepared meal but also shop and browse around and pick out hard to find imported Italian retail items while enjoying an authentic cup of cappuccino or espresso.
The menu Porta Via taps into not just the practical dining needs of our customers, but also into bigger dining and eating trends that are driving the upscale market: healthy meat, fish and chicken entrees simply prepared with olive oil and fresh herbs, garden fresh vegetables quickly grilled or made into delicious salads that are big on flavor, and nutritional grains and legumes. Of course Porta Via’s menu also includes the old Italian classics we all enjoy. All of these dishes are prepared with a consistency of quality and flavor that is Porta Via’s hallmark. Menu items include made-to-order delicatessen sandwiches and panninis made with the best of Italian meats, gourmet cheeses, appetizers, desserts, cookies, and coffee to rival the best from Milan, which is only fitting from a kitchen that will take its inspiration from the modern Tuscan lifestyle. Entrees, salads, and antipasti are available both prepackaged and by weight, making Porta Via Italian Foods a convenient and customizable food experience to suit our customers needs. Additional offerings include catering, gift baskets and private parties on location at Porta Via.
From morning to night, Porta Via Italian Foods is the kitchen and team of professional chefs or guests wish they had at home or their business.
