Al Porto

Excellent evening, waiter very knowledgeable and friendly, food was superb I had sea bream ( or bass, can't remember) and it was the best I've ever had and I like fish. Highly recommended

The food was nice but the service was very slow - waited a long time for drinks (maybe 15 mins from ordering upon arrival). The veg that came with the steak and chicken was very tiny and difficult to believe potatoes/chips were only available as additional orders. The dessert menu is quite small but then we were told that there was no vanilla icecream, no tiramisu, and only two portions of chocolate brownie! The chocolate brownie was nice but the portion size was tiny. The steak knives were brought after the steak was served and we had started eating before the veg was brought to us. We had a good evening but that was because of the company, not the food/venue. Overall, disappointing and not sure I'd return for an evening meal but would try the lunch menu again as we had no complaints with that ... though this was about a year ago.

Great atmosphere even though the restaurant was quiet, friendly and welcoming staff, good food and good choice, a very enjoyable evening for my son's 18th Birthday.

Lovely food and great service all rolled up in a nice setting. When the bill came I for once over estimated and the desserts are even better 👍

Great location on the Marina with plenty of other bars around for post/pre food drinks. Plenty of choice on the menu and food was good. Would like more choice of deserts and miss the Cannoli. Great atmosphere and décor and friendly staff.

Really good service and very reasonable prices for the great quality of food, all staff were kind and helpful, my partner and I had a fantastic time!

Fab place, menu superb, atmosphere very cosy, I’ll be back sometime in the future

10 steps above your usual Italian restaurant - great food and good friendly service. We always look forward to going and are never ever disappointed.

Beautiful food. Lovely environment. Friendly staff. The only “issue” was the waitress forgot to take our cocktail order than forgot to bring the dessert menu. Wouldn’t stop us from returning though.

This place is such a little gem. The food was exceptional and the service was amazing. Had a lesson on gins and a hug from my hero from our previous visit. Thanks for making our wedding anniversary so special 👍🏻❤️😋

Food, location, service and price are all spot on. I would recommend Al Porto for either a lunch or evening meal.

Very busy and a little wait for my table but they had two parties in and where struggling to move them out. But the food was excellent and the house wine was great. Looking forward to going again.

Besides the inaccurate menu descriptions and the incessant crappy music and poor food will not be rushing back. Prawn sauce is made with prawns - not any old sauce with a prawn on top. Always devein the prawn! It’s a good job the waiter noticed there was no smoked salmon on a smoked salmon bruschetta.

It Was very good thank you 😊 very pleasant atmosphere great staff will go again. Average prices for a very well put together menu .

Excellent food, great service. We’ve been coming here for years and can’t fault it. It’s our special occasion restaurant, we know it won’t disappoint. Paid a visit for a birthday on Saturday, Steak and Fish top notch, too full for dessert though!

Great food poor service after mains cleared away no more service waited for attention but no the waitress just glanced and walked away eventually ordered coffee which didn't come asked to move from table to lounge area which had no seats available when had to try to drink the coffee standing up paid up and left .should have had a waiter or waitress assigned to certain tables

The food was superb and served very efficiently and with style. The atmosphere was great and nice to see it busy. Staff were very helpful & friendly and the wine selection was superb.....but the food was top trumps.

The food was delicious, proper traditional restaurant. Atmosphere & ambience was perfect. Actually very quiet when we went (Sunday lunchtime). Staff were very courteous and professional. Overall an excellent choice.

Overall the food wasn’t that bad. We got shown to our table quickly and the woman who greeted us was welcoming and friendly. Jut the poor service from the staff let the night down a bit.

Good food, good service, reasonably priced, nice ambience and good appearance. bit off the beaten track but well worth a visit. Would definitely go back.

Great evening, polite friendly staff and great value for money. Food, as always, was lovely with plenty of choice. Popular place and with good reason.

The food, the surroundings, the atmosphere, the staff - all excellent. Great choice. This was our first visit to this restaurant, but will definitely not be our last. I can't believe we haven't tried it before.

we really enjoyed the food, the atmosphere was great. we were given a table by the window overlooking the marina. Would definitely recommend!

We have been here before and everytime we were very happy about the food & service. However, ths time we were let down a bit. The service were still good but food portion has gone smaller. Especially my husband' sea bass were very small. My steak was a bit over cooked for medium. :(

Amazing food once again, went for my birthday and it never disappoints, the service was 1st class and the food is awesome, I can’t wait to go again ...... we’ll done Al Porto 👍🏻👍🏻

overall experience very good, food very good, steak cooked perfectly only gripe our group had was no white zindanthal wine or palm a violet gin.

Was greeted upon arrival and taken to our table. There was lots to choose from on the menu and a good selection of specials. The menu was quite big and laminated which didn’t seem quite in keeping with the quality of the restaurant. The food was well presented and really tasty although my duck was not as pink/rare as I would have liked despite the waitress telling me it was served pink. Overall a really good meal and we’ll be returning

Great friendly service. I mentioned in the booking request it was for my parents anniversary and they prepared the table with a vase of flowers and a great view of the marina which was a lovely touch. Food was gorgeous and beautifully presented. Great value for money and lovely desserts. Make sure you visit for a special occasion!

Excellent in all respects! Venue, staff, atmosphere and food were excellent - possibly the best we have ever experienced. Thank you to all for making it special

Amazing food and atmosphere. Food was very fresh and the staff were wonderful. The duck was cooked perfectly. Nice sized portions too. Would definitely recommend!

It is a cardinal sin to serve cracked shelled and unopened muscles, a bowl of poison,! that is what was put in front of me. Any self respecting cook would know better. When the profits come before healt and safety I would say the restaurant looses the plot.

Good food, friendly efficient service and a pleasant ambience. Not a huge choice, but something for every taste and all well prepared,presented and delicious. Will definitely return.

Firstly, the plus points. The restaurant is in a prime position and the decor is very pleasant and welcoming. We arrived very early, but the staff were very accommodating and invited us to go straight to the table. We ordered our starters, which arrived in good time, and were very tasty, but sadly they arrived on pieces of roofing slate instead of crockery. (My pet hate). Then our mains arrived. Meatballs for me, my dish arrived, a bowl of spaghetti with three golf ball sized meatballs. (Could have done with a couple more for the price if I'm honest). They tasted OK, but two out of the three were cold/Luke warm at best. . I asked my fellow diners if theirs were OK, (3 of us had the same) and it appeared that I had just been unlucky. We had had just cleared our dishes but were still eating our side dishes of garlic bread when the waiters came and commenced taking our plates away, we felt under pressure to finish, bearing in mind that we arrived early we should have been given a little more time to enjoy our food. Finally, sweets arrived, once again arriving on pieces of slate. I was so disappointed. The food in general was quite nice, barring the cold meatballs, but the experience was spoiled for me by the lack of decent crockery and the feeling that we were under pressure to eat up and leave. So Al Porto, I suggest that you ensure that your food is served at the right temperature, on crockery instead of pretentiously dishing it up on reject building materials, and that you educate your younger staff to allow your clientele a little more time to digest their food. I know that using slate/chopping boards/plant pots etc to serve food on instead of perfectly decent plates or dishes seems to have become the trend but why not show some class by serving on quality crockery instead of following the herd.

The staff were excellent and the service impeccable, the meal was fantastic myself and my wife enjoyed the whole experience totally satisfied a great choice of restaurant for our wedding anniversary meal.

Great high quality food in an atmospheric setting overlooking the Marina - love the redbrick warehouse walls. Staff were attentive and friendly. Fantastic start to our wedding anniversary celebrations. Thanks!

Top notch food and service. Mixed seafood platter was plentiful for 2 people. Service was attentive and the staff are happy and helpful. Would recommend.

A quick lunch good selection reasonably priced excellent service and ambiance plenty of space to park an ideal place to meet and we will definitely be back

I booked a surprise meal at Al Porto for my fathers 73rd birthday. Having read reviews on trip advisor I was not disappointed. The staff were lovely and accommodating, providing birthday balloons for the table. My husband and I live in Manchester and are fortunate enough to be able to dine in some of the top restuarants in the city. I have to say that the food at Al Porto was equal if not better to some of the meals we have enjoyed there. I would like to thank everyone at Al Porto for taking such good care of us and helping to make the evening special. My father thoroughly enjoyed himself and will be taking mum back for dinner in the not too distant future. Think we may have to gate crash and try the Monkfish next time!!

Good service, friendly staff, nice food but two of us who had the fish had a bit of stomach ache and felt sick during the night.

Fantastic food and service I had scallops and the 28 Oz rib eye steak was spot on even if I had to pay extra for chips arincini was tasty and the chicken white wine and mushroom dessert salted caramel cheesecake was good too
