Porta Via Beverly Hills

To have a prime location in Beverly Hills, serve Italian food, which is one of the most coveted and popular kinds of food and to still get it wrong is pretty amazing. BEWARE they push the water bottles like it’s going out of style. We paid over $100 for water we didn’t want, for a dinner of 7 people. Let’s talk about the rudeness of the staff, their lack of training on how to serve food and pour drinks. They began cleaning the table, when each glass or plate emptied; which meant they showed up at our table 20 times in a short period of time. They kept interrupting our discussions. They told my friend to not talk, while another friend was ordering. The food was edible, maybe even good (not great) but for the prices they charge, it needed to be better. The pastas were overcooked and nothing really seemed to have been prepared fresh. Don’t waste your money. Don’t go.

We were at Porta Via, Beverly Hills last night and our dinner experience was one of the best. All the dishes were delicious as well as the cocktails (The Bar Flower Martini was the best). I can't forget to mention the desserts which are exquisite. The atmosphere of the place is very pleasant and the service was the best with the Manager/Waiter Martin who was always attentive to make sure we didn't lack anything on the table. A place to enjoy alone, as a couple or with the family. I would like to give them 100 ⭐️⭐️⭐️. We are coming back soon. 100% Recommended!!!

The ambiance was superb, and the beef patty in the hamburger was juicy and delicious – I loved it! Several of my Chinese friends who were with me are fluent in Spanish, so they directly communicated with the Latin American server in Spanish. The server was very friendly and even provided complimentary bread before the meal.

Breakfast solid 2.9 / 5.0 - Just meh food with attentive but sloppy service.
For breakfast food like this I can just go to a diner. It's quite un-special and lacks flavor. Bacon is basically deep fried to a crisp, eggs & pancakes were basic but fine, everything else was fine. Coffee tastes good but was just seemed like the waiter didn't care, was very rushed (even though they weren't busy) and twice over poured coffee and didn't return to clean it up.
Didn't care for the style of the waiter (rushed and disinterested, seemed like he doesn't enjoy job) but the helpers were great. Nice white table clothes and nice setting.

I have visited this restaurant on several occasions and have never had a great experience. Guests are greeted very warmly and politely and it all stops there. Once guests are seated, it takes a while for a server to take the order. The food has always been lukewarm at best. Once the food is brought to the table, nobody will ever approach you to ask about your order or if there is anything else they can get. And good luck on asking for anything before and after your meal is brought to the table! Your request will be ignored and ignored! Try it for yourself

The place only has customers who don t want to wait in line for the restaurant next to it. The food is below average and the customer service is non existent. Our waiter disappeared on us for 15 minutes before taking order, we had to complain, he then came and asked if we now are ready to order as if it was our fault. He then kept pushing for us to order the wine and ignored guest requests during the serving. Do not recommend.

After we finished the waiter jumped into conclusions that we were not tipping, since we were going to pay in cash.She bursted with attitude, NO TIP. My son was so embarrassed not leaving him time to say anything. We complained to the manager, all he said that he will talk to her,since he was pretty sure her actions were unintentional.

Nestled amidst the glamour of Beverly Hills, Porta Via stands as a hidden gem waiting to be discovered. After stumbling upon it while exploring the neighborhood, I was intrigued by the promising reviews and decided to experience it firsthand. Upon entering, I was greeted by an inviting atmosphere that exuded warmth and charm. Despite its unassuming exterior, Porta Via proved to be a culinary delight, offering a menu that boasted a diverse array of options. Opting for the Barada and a selection of mussels, as well as indulging in a steak and spaghetti, I was treated to a symphony of flavors that left my taste buds tingling with delight. Each dish was a testament to the chef s skill and creativity, showcasing a perfect balance of textures and tastes. What truly set Porta Via apart, however, was the impeccable service. Despite visiting during a slower period, the staff went above and beyond to ensure that every aspect of my dining experience was nothing short of exceptional. From their attentiveness to their genuine warmth, they elevated the meal to a truly memorable occasion. As a bonus, discovering that they offered my favorite sparkling water, Pellegrino, only added to the overall experience. It was clear that every detail had been carefully considered to ensure maximum satisfaction for their guests. In conclusion, Porta Via surpassed my expectations in every way. From the delectable cuisine to the exemplary service, it left an indelible impression that will undoubtedly have me returning for more. If you find yourself wandering through Beverly Hills, do yourself a favor and make a stop at Porta Via it s a culinary experience not to be missed.

There are lots of amazing restaurants in Beverly Hills with pleasant employees, great food, and wonderful service. Porta Via is not one of them. Absolutely terrible service. Ordered the branzino - the smallest piece of fish with 3 spears of asparagus. Manager emailed me offering to make up for the horrible behavior of the host but didnt follow through on his offer.

Honestly one of the worst places Ive ever eaten. Service was very slow and the team werent attentive at all. The manager was screaming at staff behind us. The food was disgusting, not even one member of our party finished their food. The lobster ravioli was questionable, the short rib was too sweet, the vodka pasta had a very questionable taste to it - they were definitely using old sauce or old ingredients. Was gross. The nachos were a joke, they gave not even a handful of chips and carrots with it, Ive never been served a portion that looked as embarrassing as that. Caesar salad wasnt actually a caesar salad, there were no croutons, it was just lettuce in a very nasty sauce. For a restaurant in such a prime high end location, honestly disgraceful providing that quality of food. Bare in mind we were starving, we hadnt eaten all day so anything wouldve tasted good, but it was really that bad. I HIGHLY recommend you walk straight past and just make your way to il pastaio and save yourself the heartbreak of wasting your money on a horrific dining experience.

The choice of either inside or outside seating is nice. China plates, good utensils, white tablecloths and napkins all lend to a nice dining experience. The food was good, but could be seasoned a bit more. Seems to be a bit on the bland side to accommodate a wider group of people. Had the Neapolitan Omelet while my dad had the Bistro Burger which was overcooked from the requested Medium-Rare, but not to the point of sending it back. We both had fruit smoothies which were great, but small for the price. Overall a good experience if you dont mind the high prices. (The Non-alcohol brunch listed above was $72 before tip for 2 people.)

Unfortunately, much like La Scala next to, its just not very good. The food is perfectly adequate if one is shopping nearby and one wants to eat something but its certainly not worth it as a destination. The calamari fritti was pretty tasteless and mediocre. Id normally have sent it back but did not wish to embarrass the friend who invited me. Salad of no interest. The zucchini pasta was good but much too watery. Very expensive for the quality but then again they have BH rent to pay. Service was excellent. Parking: City parking opposite

They didn t have in stock what I ordered, so they substituted for something I didn t want, even though it clearly stated to CONTACT ME if something was unavailable. Upon pickup and realizing my order was all wrong, the workers had no sympathy and looked crazy and annoyed. The food was basic quality and not something I would eat again.

I was asking several times what is the 5, 10 means? Is that means 5 or 10 doors? He just ignored me and keep saying just choose a number . I surprised they charge for the Wifi, and they can just tell me it cost 5 or 10 dollars straight way. Don t know why they playing this scene which kinda made me feel uncomfortable.
