About this restaurant

  • Charming
  • Good for special occasions
  • Great for outdoor dining
Italian inspired cuisine in a charming and beautiful country setting with outdoor dining all summer and a covered heated tent in the winter. Our stone terrace with large fireplace nestled between aromatic herb and flower gardens makes for a beautiful setting year around.

Upon booking, please select either an indoor or outdoor table. "Standard" refers to an indoor table. If an outdoor table is not listed, the patio may be booked at that time. Please call us directly if your preference is not listed.

Our tent is down for the summer! Tables on the patio are covered by umbrellas for protection from sun and in the case of rain. In the case of inclement weather, we will do our best to accommodate outdoor bookings indoors based on availability.

Take out from 4:30pm to 8:00pm daily and can be ordered by calling us at (804) 741-4800.

    Our son enjoyed his special birthday dinner tonight! Everything was delicious and service was spectacular. Highly recommend 7 Lady Vineyards Chardonnay. All 6 of us tried something different and everyone was happy with their meals. Beautiful setting and such a lovely stroll through the garden.

    We’ve been to Portico several times and it never disappoints. Easter Brunch was fantastic. We had eggs Benedict and the Quiche of the day (Lorraine) and they were both delicious. Can’t wait for our next visit.

    We attended for a birthday dinner. Our server was fantastic and the food was delicious. Valet service was a nice perk, and they take Venmo so cash wasn’t a concern. The 4-legged friends roaming the property made the patio dining even more eventful! 🐱
