Porta’Vino: A Mediterranean Pizza & Wine Bar in Houston, TX

Delicious food and nice atmosphere. It was my first time trying this one out and I loved it!!!!!!!!!!! Please try out the ballon bread.

I went with a group. It was about 16 of us or so. We came in around 5:00 for an early dinner. Some people brought their own wine. We started with appetizers: Calabrese Crispy Shrimp and Cornflake Calamari. The Calabrese had some andouille sausage. I’m not a fan of shrimp or calamari. But I think if you like shrimp or calamari, you’ll love these. There was also some andouille sausage in the Calabrese dish. It was yummy. My main dish was Chicken Parmesan. It was so big. It was so good. I couldn’t eat it all. I saved the rest for later. I tasted my daughter’s Honey, Garlic Pork Tenderloin it was so delicious, I was sad that I didn’t order it. I’m still crying. For dessert, I had tiramisu. I had only had tiramisu once in my whole entire life. It was while I was in Spain. It was delicious. But… this tiramisu was just okay. I was sad again. I can’t put my finger on what was different. Our server, Hugo, was really nice and attentive. The owner came by and checked on us; he was very nice. The host was very nice too. Everybody was nice!! We had a good time. When I go back, I’m going to get the pork tenderloin! No more tears.

I had an exceptional dining experience at Porta’Vino. The service was outstanding, with attentive and friendly staff who made us feel welcomed from the moment we arrived. The Black Truffle Rigatoni was absolutely delicious, with a rich and indulgent flavor that left a lasting impression. However, I did find the portion to be quite small for the price, leaving me wanting a little more of that exquisite dish. The Pepperoni pizza was a perfect balance of crispy crust and flavorful toppings, and the medium-rare brownie was the perfect ending to the meal – warm, gooey, and incredibly satisfying. Overall, the service at Porta’Vino made the experience even more memorable. While the Black Truffle Rigatoni could benefit from a larger portion, the food, service, and atmosphere make it a place I’d definitely return to for another fantastic meal.

We had a great time! Every dish we ordered was wonderful! Our server Isidro was superb! Restaurant offers wine and cocktails but you can bring your own favorite wine or beer if you wish. Just be aware of corkage fee of $12. It was our first time dining at this restaurant, but we definitely coming back!

Amazing food and service! Incredible prices on bottles of wine!

We enjoyed our dinner here and the service we recieved was great. Insidro, our waiter was knowledgeable and attentive. He told us how they would customize the menu items we requested to our preference and they did. My wife had a appetizer portion on mussels with pasta and she enjoyed it. I had cacio d pipe and it was ok but used lots of butter (not a traditional style) and not enough cheese. Our friends had short rib and pork cutlet. The ribs were good and tasty and the pork while tasty was tough and hard to chew. We brought our own wine but they have a good selection there. Our bill was reasonable considering no alchohol and a reasonable corkage fee. I would return to this restaurant but I would order something different. My experience was more of a 4.5 . Oh and the waffle desert is awesome. Thanks Isidro for the suggestion

While the food was ok, the atmosphere and the service provided by Isidro were excellent. We requested and received changed up dishes, like I ordered my appetizer muscles to be served over Pappardelle pasta! Isidro and the kitchen are very accommodating. I wish they had Panna Cotta or Gelato on their desert menu...but overall a sweet place and we will be back!

Very reasonably priced wine list. The homemade pasta and pork tenderloin were very good. Service was also very good. The only negative to the experience was the lack of coffee. Very unusual for a restaurant to serve desert and not have any type of coffee.
