Lori was our bartender today and she wasexemplary, attentive, knowledgable, professional, cannot wait to be back when she works! Read more
Had date night here and loved it. Everything from the food, drinks, service and live music was amazing. This is definitely a... place worth visiting. Noise level is a little high w the live music but nothing outrageous. The place is clean and they havefree parking in the garage directly behind the restaurant. Great place overall! Read more
We absolutely loved our brunch experience today at Laporta's. The food was exceptional, the atmosphere very comfortable and the... service was impeccable. Today's Sunday Brunch featured a tented guitarist that set just the right ambience for theafternoon. Kay had the perfectly done scallops and angel hair pasta and I had the seafood crepe. Photos attached. We weretempted by the pecan pie and shared an absolutely amazing slice -- and concluded our meal by trying to figure out how the chefhad managed an absolutely perfect crust. Run, don't walk to this delightful restaurant. We're coming back! Read more

Simply amazing food and service! Wyndham resorts recommended it as the best Italian restaurant in the area so we thought we... would give it a try. Our party of 6 walked in, a background trio was playing softly and water and buns were immediately putonto the table. Our server Joe came by and made some excellent recommendations! Hangar steak, the salmon dish and the wildmushroom pasta were simply amazing! Then the lemon tart and the carrot cake did not disappoint! I liked the fact that Joe saidhe has tried everything on the menu and instantly gave us his top 3 favorites. He said he and his roommate eat there frequentlywhich says quite a lot for a restaurant. I highly recommend giving it a try if your in the area. If it's anything like ourexperience, you will not be disappointed! Read more
First time here and they didn’t disappoint. The food was fabulous and the atmosphere was so pleasant. Smooth Jazz over the... delicious crab cakes. Everyone enjoyed the evening and it was a great pre Father’s Day dinner. Kudos to everyone. Read more
My wife and I went here at the last minute before they closed (7/16/21) and it was a great choice. Laporta's is cute and quaint.... I especially love how our waiter really loves his job and loves who he works for, because it definitely showed. My expectationsweren't that high walking in honestly but they well exceeded it!. My wife and I both loved the seafood soup and the butter breadfor the mushroom appetizer. One minor note that would need changing in my opinion would be the use of only fresh ingredients.For example, I had the clam and shrimp dish, the dish consisted of 4 fresh clams and throughout the noodles was canned clams,and you can definitely taste the difference....but again overall the food was satisfying! If your looking for a familyenvironment type service definitely visit this place.???????? Read more
