Porta Via Ristorante e Bar

Food was ok nothing special, pretty bland would’ve been better off somewhere else. Overpriced. Everything was ok. There were quite a few of us, but our server didn’t write down anything we asked for. She had to come back and ask again about our order, and she still got the order wrong. That’s no big deal but, when she brought out the food we said hey I think I was meant to have something else? And instead of bringing out the correct order she said “well you guys just went back and forth too much”. Not good service. I don’t know how the ratings are so high.

The cannelloni is just awesome and the lasagna was super. Read the notice I pray you don't change it's our only place we like I'm all of Nashville.

The tables were too close to each other, the bar was loud, the food was bad, and the waitress was not very nice. All around not a great experience and I would not go back. Also, just because it’s says one thing on the menu does not mean you will actually get what you order.

Food was fine, nothing special - reason for the low rating is they charged $2 PER PERSON for red pepper flakes, which is the most egregious thing I’ve ever heard of. I ask for a little extra kick in my penne vodka at every Italian restaurant ever and never ever have they charged a single dime extra. Prices are too steep to justify for what you get in my opinion.

We ordered the pizza with prosciutto last night and it was tasteless. Firstly, the meat they served was not prosciutto at all. In a real Italian restaurant they would never serve prosciutto cotto which is basically sandwich ham. The sauce tasted like nothing, no basil, no oregano, nothing. Domino's has better sauce. We let the server know we ate it bc we were hungry but it wasn't good. The manager knew and did not come to the table. He was busy being on his phone the entire time we were there. This restaurant has given up. They may have been in business since 1989 but anyone wanting real Italian food should go elsewhere

I've always enjoyed this place. However, there have been recent changes to recipes and no more gelato on the menu that puts this place back to average. Servers and staff are great.
