The atmosphere was pleasant and cosy. The food was in good portion and there was variety, in the set dinner that was ordered. The dinner finished off with decaffinated coffee which made the evening satisfying. 😊

Dining in a home feel setting. Lights could be dimmer to give a cozier feel, like in their Changi location. Know this restaurant for more than 20 years and we always come back on special occasions. Love the cozy feel and food is good. The boss is also cooking in the kitchen.

It’s a cosy restaurant. Feel very much at home. Chef cum owner went from table to table to greet everyone. Price is above average though.

We were there for lunch, so the selection was smaller than it would be for dinner. We ordered a seafood lunch set and a meat lunch set, both of which were value for money and tasted great. At one point we totally forgot that there were more dishes coming up! The risotto on the meat set had a unique flavour to it (in a good way of course). The restaurant is tucked away in a quiet spot in Upper Changi and it has a great homely ambiance with lovely decor. The service is also prompt and friendly. Loved it here!

It’s a nice place to hang out after work. We had a good time. Food is ok, perhaps because I don’t quite prefer tomatoes but my friends ordered all the tomato-base pasta :) I remember enjoying it more when I had my own choice the last time :)

Expensive for a neighbourhood venue. Food and service was so so. Actually the ribeye that was ordered was smothered in so much sauce the beef couldn’t be tasted. The calamari was good though but a tad too expensive at $32 which included two prawns. Just an uninspiring visit. I wouldn’t go back.

The food took some time to arrive. Pasta dishes are still ok. But the meat/ fish dishes took a super long time. The chicken was the last to arrive. By then, all of us have already finished our meal & was ready to cancel the chicken. The 2 seabass main dish were under cooked. The 2 young waiters are good though. We like their service. But the food was a real disappointment. Especially for that kind of price.

Excellent Italian food in a quiet neighbourhood. Cosy and spacious restaurant. Watch out though, they may run out of certain ingredients / types of pasta if you go past 8pm.

Was recommended by a friend, so my wife and I decided to patronise and had a 4-5 course meal for dinner. To start off, we had chicken and fish soups. Next, we had pastas and rosemary chicken, follow by tiramisu for dessert. The meal was decent. Heard that the restaurant will be moving to a new location after operating over 20 years. Hope to patronise their new location next year.

A very highly recommended Italian restaurant which has good food and cosy environment. I love the location, felt like out of Singapore, which may be ‘inconvenient’ to some, being tucked away in the sleepy loyang estate, opposite Changi prison.

The place was beautiful but the food was not as expected. For a group of 15, most of us chose the meat or seafood set lunch. Soups (@lobster bisque and chicken) wasn’t fantastic. For starters. Calamari was good but the beef lasagne was too mushy and blend. Lastly the mains. Lamp was dry and tasteless and Vongole pasta was dry and tasteless too. Very disapointing given that I had high hopes when I had dinner there some time back. They probably mass cooked for all of us.

Rosie, the Proprietor, is the consummate hostess. The food quality has remained consistently excellent over the 20 years we've been patronising the establishment. The quaint and cozy ambience adds to the experience.

It is a nice, cosy restaurant, with a great ambience. The place was not too crowded and/or noisy. They had soft music playing at the background that suited the entire mood. We had the fai te menu and the food was great! It was a surprise after another, and all cooked really well. The pasta we had was especially good.

We had the house menu and was wonderfully pleased with the food. The food quality was good, the waiter was very attentive to our needs as well. The only setback was the table was placed too near the door, so with the opening and closing of the door, the overall experience was affected.

Had the set lunch and food was average at best. Ambience was good though; very rustic European countryside feel. Service was very good too. Only decent dish was the calamari so go for the seafood set if you have to dine here.

Food was delicious as always. Chose the fai te menu. I prefer to leave it to the chef cos they never leave me disappointment. On the contrary, always wanting more. The portions are just right. It's not too much or too little. Will always be my favourite Italian restaurant. So authentic.

Porta Porta offered up a brilliant homely Italian experience - the service wasn't the best because it was a busy night, but the food more than made up for it. My partner and I ordered the 'Fai Te' set menu - akin to a Japanese omakase - with seven courses, and I thoroughly enjoyed the starters, ratatouille, and the soups. Complete your meal with a bottle of top-notch wine and trust me, it will make your night.

My third time dining here and still as pleasant always! Note that there are only 3 selection for lunch set ( meat, seafood and vegetarian). Downside is one cannot mix and match the items. Come in a group to sample more.

The restaurant is cosy and very nicely decorated, but the food was not as good as expected. The prices are on the high side for the food.
