    Great to see that the old Manalos restaurant reopened as DelPorto, but was disappointed with their food. Way overpriced, especially for lunch (no lunch menu). The apps were well presented and very good, as well as their home made pasta. The entrees however were underwhelming. The Chicken parm was fair at best. At $42 it should be a much better quality - it tasted like tough veal. $20 cocktails are a bit outrageous as well. We're not in NYC. Ambience and Service were excellent - but hoping they improve their menu.

    Everything from the reservation, the greeting at the door, the service, a custom drink, the food etc. was absolutely perfect. The food was prepared and served with obvious attention to detail. It was a great dining experience and would recommend without hesitation. Thank you for a spectacular experience!!!!!

    From start to finish everything was delicious! My absolute favorite appetizer is the calamari, always have to order extra because everyone fights over it! The fried zucchini chips are perfectly crisp and we enjoyed the zucchini flower appetizer special which was equally delicious! The meatballs were spectacular as always. When it came to the dinner we all had a hard time choosing our entrees because the variety of options were better than the next so we decided on getting all different options to enjoy. The short ribs were tender and juicy a perfect treat on a cold evening accompanied by a wonderful Pinot noir. The branzino was cooked to perfection , light and fresh especially after all the amazing appetizers it was a perfect dinner option! We also thoroughly enjoyed the linguine vongole, a phenomenal classic chicken parmesan and squash ravioli. Although we were quite full, we couldn’t resist the desert menu particularly the churros and irresistible banana bread pudding! We can’t wait to return to this family favorite restaurant! Well worth the trek from Westchester New York !
