Al Porto

restaurant was very busy and overcrowded, was offered a poor table alongside a closed door that was very draughty. waiters miserable and non engaging , food ok but nothing special . had to walk through cloud of cigarette smoke at the doorway of the restaurant. will not be returning there any time soon .

Fantastic food as ever and Julia our waitress really made our evening. A great night to celebrate my Mums 70th Birthday. Thank you Julia and team

Food was excellent, but we had been sat next to a door to start with and asked to be moved. After this all was well and a really good night

Really enjoyed the evening and food was excellent. One small criticism is that we felt a little rushed the food came out a little too quickly for us to take our time. Will definitely go again.

Great atmosphere , great food and great service. We had a really enjoyable evening and would recommend this Italian resturant to our friends. We shall certainly go again.

Really enjoyed it great food and service. Will Highly recommend al porto to friends and family in the future. I will certainly be visiting again soon in the very soon.

Great food and service was fantastic. Staffs were very attentive and food was delivered promptly. Nice location and the ambience in the restaurant was great.

My daughter and i both had the meatballs with pasta which was good but may be could have been a bit hotter. The garlic bread could also have been hotter. The service was efficient, but not over friendly. As it was 12 ish I thought there would be other diners there but it was virtually empty, and therefore not much atmosphere, however it did start to fill up while we were there. I imagine it would be more atmospheric in the evening. Overall I would try it again but maybe in the evening.

Food was average, steak very well cooked but the desert cheese cake was still frozen which was disappointing. Staff very friendly and atmosphere nice. Didn't live up to a referral from friends.

Al Porto: This was our first visit and expectations were high, we were greeted and seated very quickly. We ordered a light starter of garlic bread and olives, unfortunately my wife’s bruschetta came dry so we asked for it to be returned and some garlic butter to be applied. When it returned she received two slices of bread heavily coated with garlic butter. So again we sent it back stating we wanted the bread to be bruschetta style this they did. For mains my wife ordered the duck unfortunately this had been cremated I however ordered the risotto marinara I was thoroughly enjoying it and would go as far as to say it was probably the best risotto I have ever had the texture and taste was amazing until that was, I reached a layer of salt which made it totally unpalatable. We then asked to see the sweet menu and having decided our choices we waited and waited until eventually the waitress returned at which point we decided to take the bill instead. The wine, which has been pointed out by previous reviewers was bang on (for my palate). In summary the front of house were charming, the ambience was relaxing the kitchen made some really bad school boy errors. Would we go again? Yes, we believe they deserve a second chance so watch this space!

Ordered from the lunch menu...had the qinter salad...was delicious along with a glass of house white. Great price too. Will be going again soon .

This was the first time that I and my family had been to Al Porto and I found the experience excellent, I cannot fault the staff or the food and I would definitely come back and I would recommend Al Porto to friends

In one word excellent Staff. Food. Atmosphere were first class We booked for a mid week evening meal and was highly delighted and would recommend The location is also superb

Fantastic food and very friendly staff. Nice ambiance and would highly recommend to our family & friends. We have been several times best restaurant in Hull!!

Great restaurant! Been 4 times now and love it every time. Definitely recommend this restaurant. Lovely surroundings, atmosphere, service, food and drink! Always a great night out.

Very good! Good value. Friendly and efficient service. Good food. Menu extensive enough. Wine choice good, and good to see wine by the glass. What's not to like?

A perfect meal for my husbands birthday. Super menu choices, excellent staff and service, food cooked beautifully, very relaxing and will most certainly visit again.

Thought the service was very efficient and the food was very nice. We will definitely be back for more of the same in the near future!!

Interesting menu, well cooked and beautifully presented! Do not be put off by the appearance of the entrance, once inside the restaurant it is atmospheric. Attentive, cheerful staff.

The restaurant had an authentic atmosphere, making me feel as though I was on holiday in Italy; the waiter and waitresses had great hospitality and the food tasted delicious!

The food was very nice but my order for main was wrong and service was very slow. 3 hours for a 3 coarse meal. And it was expensive

Faultless, food and service excellent. More Mediterranean cuisine than Italian would say, rather than Italian as advertised. Definitely recommend booking too as very popular, fabulous restaurant.

Fantastic choice of food and wine, fabulous service, the ambience of this resturant is amazing . If you haven't yet been then go because it's truly a hidden gem .

Overall a pleasant restaurant! Food was good but not perfect,service was quite helpful prices create higher expectations for the quality of food, that are not necessarily met.

The food is amazing. We chose from the specials board and so glad we did. The restaurant has such a good atmosphere and the staff are so friendly. Great night and great food.

Enjoyed a lovely family meal at Al Porto. The menu is slightly limited but this makes choosing a little easier. The specials board was good - more to choose from than from your average "specials". Service and food extremely good. Looking forward to a return visit!

Atmosphere was warm and welcoming if not a little to snug with the positioning of the tables as the table next to us was so close that the couple on it could hear our conversation . Service was very good and the food was delicious will definitely recommend to friends and will be back again .

Staff very pushy 3 diners but seated 1st 2 before arrival of 3rd , Rushing us to order & removing plates whilst 1 diner still eating Excellent food as always

Fantastic food and great service all with a very good price. A great atmosphere and highly recommend the garlic bread and the tiramisu. Will be booking again soon

Nice Vue with great food . Quick and hel0 sevice .would highly recommend. Only bad thing as such is the location, alittle tricky to find but not a real problem

A jewel of a find. A first class dining experience. Very classy, sassy, and the food and service are excellent. We had a wonderful time, it won't be long before we return.

We thoroughly enjoyed our evening at AL Porto, a very busy Saturday evening but once our order was taken the service was excellent as was the food, we were particularly well looked after by Dusco? and his colleagues and we will most certainly be back!!

Excellent Italian, great atmosphere and lovely witty staff - made our night extra special. Food was lovely and would definitely go back for another occasion or treat :)

Fantastic night out great food with our friends everyone enjoyed the full experience food and all

Really nice meal, we were seated very quickly , staff were really attentive, great food and drink, would highly recommend, we've visited day and night and both are great

Visited for Mother's Day and was very pleased. Food was lovely, service was excellent and atmosphere was very nice. Would recommend for a special occasion or a treat.

The food was lovely and service friendly. My one minor complaint is that, even though I drew attention to my food intolerances the staff seemed surprised and had to be prompted to make suggestions of what I could have. The issue was successfully resolved and I enjoyed my meal but it would have been better if it was clear that the comments on the booking had been read and noted. There was nothing on the desert menu to accommodate a gluten/dairy/egg free diet. Fresh fruit salad would have been nice. However, the general atmosphere was very pleasant - busy but not noisy - and we will certainly revisit.

Great meal and great service! We had the fillet steak and the Monkfish which were both cooked perfectly. We were recommended the house red wine which was very nice too.

A lovely relaxing lunch - beautiful food and great service. The lunch specials are really good value. Quite a climb up the stairs but worth it.

Excellent food and service was prompt and efficient. Friendly greeting and made to feel welcome. Great atmosphere and would wholeheartedly recommend. This was a meal for a birthday celebration and did not disappoint. Thanks.
