Porto boasts a large and beautiful heated patio space with a retractable awning and sides in the middle of Boston's Back Bay neighborhood. The menu is inspired by Coastal Mediterranean selections with a focus on Italy's coast. Porto is located on Ring Road in Boston's Bay Bay, steps from the Prudential Center and Copley, next door to Saks Fifth Avenue.

Enjoy a lively meal in either of Porto's well appointed dining rooms, or indulge in a casual meal at the bar or kitchen counter seating, overlooking the oyster bar and open kitchen. Porto's one-of-a-kind outdoor patio and bar overlooks Ring Road with Boylston Street views, and serves as a Mediterranean oasis, right in the heart of Back Bay.

    Excellent food. It was delicious and the portions were just right. Not as huge as other restaurants offer. The service is wonderful, too.

    Exceptional! One of my favorite restaurants in Boston! We tried the Pre-Symphony Dinner at 5:00 pm and it was delicious and timely. Food is creative with amazing flavor profiles. I just love all of Jody Adam’s restaurants! This is a must visit! Enjoy!

    Great food and service, relaxed atmosphere, extremely helpful staff - warm and welcoming. Local oysters were amazing , octopus appetizer wonderful, had duck ragu papperadelle and shrimp puttanesca. Nice, balanced reasonably priced wine list, manager/sommelier was knowledgeable, friendly and very helpful. Too stuffed for dessert! Highly recommend! Will return when next in Boston .

    Fun and trendy place. The food was good. The portion size was fine for me but not my husband. Our server was excellent, attentive but not hovering. It was pricier than I expected.
