This spot has become one of those places I genuinely look forward to returning to again and again. Every visit feels easy and welcoming the moment you step inside. The team here knows how to make you feel taken care of without ever being overbearing--just warm, attentive hospitality that sets the tone for a great meal. The menu is full of dishes that feel thoughtfully prepared, and everything I've tried has been consistently flavorful. The lamb entrées are outstanding--tender, perfectly seasoned, and incredibly satisfying. Their steaks are just as impressive, cooked beautifully and full of rich flavor. It's the kind of food that makes you slow down and enjoy every bite.What really stands out, though, is the atmosphere. It strikes that perfect balance between relaxed and elevated, making it ideal for a cozy dinner, a laid-back evening with friends, or even a casual drink at the end of the day. There's a lot of intention in the details--lighting, décor, textures--which creates a space that feels both comfortable and polished without trying too hard. Every time I leave, I'm reminded why this has become a favorite. Great food, genuinely kind service, and an environment that makes you want to stay a little longer. Absolutely a place worth recommending, and one I'm always happy to return to. 5/5. read more

#whereisweekes....@ Porto Salvo celebrating with me bestie Diane and the Birthday Man Davied along with their cousin. The vibe is a laid back chilled mode. The food was good but the Turffle Fries tasted oily. The calamari, shrimp and friend cauliflower was seasoned. The drinks ok, had to ask for a shot extra to taste the liquor. The service was good. They came to check on us, making sure everything was satisfactory. Over, all we had a great time. I do recommend and will be back. It's a cute restaurant in the cut. read more

The ravioli didn't taste freshly made. The center was hot by the edges of the noodle were still cold. It took more than 20 mins for someone to ask if we were ready to order and the staff kept arguing with each other in front of everyone on the dining floor. read more

Amazing drinks, wine, and pasta! The bartender was very accommodating with drink and wine suggestions. Loved the lobster mac and cheese!

I went here to grab a drink & opted for the Raging Storm cocktail as the HH menu didn't really appeal to me. The cocktail was strong & tasty, plus the price was right. The bartender was also very nice & this seems to be a spot that a lot of locals frequent & rightfully so. I'd be back to give the food a shot. read more

Everything about this place was 5 star service and quality. The appetizer was simple yet delicious consisting of olive oil with a ricotta/sundries tomato dip paired with a rustic thick, chewy bread. It was so good we asked for another. The place itself was very clean, nice looking, but baby, the devil was in the details! Upon closer inspection it was actually more then nice. Textures, color schemes, floral arrangements, the raised ceiling panels all contributed to a very beautiful ambiance. We ordered the rose sangria which was amazingly soft and sweet. Hints of Apple and Rose paired quite well. Service was pleasant and fast. Everything was on point. I ordered a lamb pappardelle pasta and they did not skimp on the lamb nor the portion itself. Fresh pasta will forever beat any box or bag. Improves the quality immensely. All their pasta was fresh, but, where it truly shined was in the butternut ravioli. On an olive oil sage base, fresh thick slightly sweet ravioli, butternut squash filling and drizzled with a bit of parmesan. I was so shocked that I actually loved this because I'm not a squash fan by any means. Dessert we opted for the caramel custard which was very close to a Spanish flan but thicker in consistency. Very delicious and served with fresh whipped cream, very balanced sweetness. I was impressed by this little spot. My sister insisted that we go here for lunch and I must say, I was not disappointed! 10 out of 10 would highly recommend! read more

Food and drinks are all great. Try everything on the menu! The service and ambiance is amazing.

I walked in around 8 PM yesterday night for a wedding reception custom designed for about 20 people. It was dimly lit inside, pretty romantic, and had a classy feel to it. Taking a look around the restaurant, I noticed that they have white tablecloths and lit candles. It was a beautiful ambience! After walking inside, I immediately saw my friend, the bride, and I was able to take several photographs! I was quickly given a glass of champagne and also a menu for drinks. There were options for red, white, rose wine and also so many great cocktails. I had the strawberry margarita, and it was so delicious! I did have my eye on the mojitos as well. How was the food you wonder? I did enjoy my meal. We had complimentary bread with ricotta and roasted pepper spread (what? whoa! Yum!) One of my friends didn't drink, so they also had a variety of sodas for her. For my small plate, I had the Sweet Petite oysters and the Wellpoint oysters (they let you do half one and half another type...so cool!) For my main, I ordered the salmon dish, and the inside was so fresh and tender. I also took photographs of the other wedding guests so you can have a look at the meal portions and the quality. I sensed that the bartenders and servers took good care of us! Plus, there was a really great music playlist with Latin hits and fun top 40 playlists for shaking your hips to...like Elvis Crespo, Bad Bunny, Rauw Alejandro, Daddy Yankee, Don Omar, Beyonce, Sean Paul, Shakira, etc. I absolutely remember the service was impeccable here. Always checking up on us and making sure if we needed anything. I would recommend visiting if you are in the Bronx! read more

I went into this place after a very long and hard day at work. I walked in and was instantly transported to a cute restaurant that well air conditioned, offered seating by the bar, inside or outside. I had to cool down and the waiter was very sweet, he gave me iced water, napkins and told me to take my time. I appreciated that. Once I was ready I asked for my drinks and the salad. Once it came out I had no idea that it would taste so fresh and delicious. This was just a beautiful plate. I would 100% come back for more wine and entree options. Thank you for the great service read more

This used to be my favorite restaurant to just sit, relax and have delicious food. I visited on Saturday 9/21 and the service was terrible. The woman waitress was not attentive and did not seem to care much. There was music playing very loud- so loud that I couldn't hear my family talking. The food was great as usual but the service and atmosphere sucks! read more

Pedro was amazing and attentive! Came here for a snack for my birthday and left with forever memories. Can't recommend the oysters enough. The music and atmosphere just added another level to our experience. read more

I came here for brunch with my parents and sister. Service was pretty quick. My parents both ordered Fettuccine Bolognese which has pasta with peasant veal ragout. I ordered Linguine al Pesto which is Flat pasta in pesto Ligurian style. My sister ordered the Pollo Grigliato which is Grilled chicken, tomato, avocado, spicy mayo. My parents and sister loved their food. I loved the basil and pecorino cheese in my pasta. I tried both their red and white sangria and preferred the red one. We enjoyed the nautical decor of the place. We at first missed the place because there is an Asian sign on the window and not the name of the place. If you're in the yankee stadium area there is a bus you can take that stops here. read more

This place has really good food and the atmosphere is real chill and the drink are great, BUT we have to do something about these bar chairs. They are so freaking hard sometimes I want to stay longer, but my booty and legs be pain. Maybe a cushion would help but other then that a nice place to come too. read more

The food was amazing along with great service from the staff. The ambiance was great as my partner liked the music selection. The only thing that concerned me a bit was the B grade given from Food Establishment Inspections NYC-Health. Overall, once that's fixed, it would be a nice little Italian gem hidden in the South Bronx Will definitely come again. read more

We stopped here for breakfast. It is a tiny little restaurant with a limited menu. I got a grilled chicken panini. It came with salad and home fries. Everything was absolutely delicious. I would definitely order this again. I highly recommend this restaurant if you are nearby. read more

I came to visit a friend in New York and she told me she knew a really good Italian place and I love Italian dishes and apparently the reviews are really good, when a guy came in he kindly offered me the best place to sit, it was very good, the food too, the only thing that was worse and I had never seen anything like it, was how was it possible that in a place as nice as Porto Salvo, they had a waitress drinking liquor to the point of accidentally knocking over a glass of wine on me, I didn't like that at all, my friend said that it used to be a really good place to have a good time, the waiter guy apologized for the situation and the girl was half drunk to the point of not being able to talk, she had to sit down leaving the waiter alone, but everything was very tasty but my friend said she wouldn't go back because of the irresponsibility of the place... read more

While walking around Grand Concourse, we noticed that this restaurant stuck out like a sore thumb. It looked so chill so, we walked in. Food: 5/5 I was hungry so, I started by ordering two of every oyster on the menu ( 8 oysters together). They were fresh and delicious but, definitely loved the Blue Point! Then we ordered the short rib risotto and the lamb ragu Pappardelle. Both absolutely greatly sized and so tender! Hand downs one of the best risottos I have had ever. Service: 4.5/5 I wanted to start by saying they did an amazing job. They were very attentive and always checked up on us. My only deduction comes from a lack organization during the service on which servers cover which tables. We started with one server, then another one took over, and the original came back asking for our entree order which had already place with the other. We were only one of two tables so, I didn't anticipate that being an issue. All in all, I would definitely go back. The food was delicious, the drinks were smooth (#BasilHayden), and the atmosphere was causal and chill. I can't wait to go back for drinks and dinner with friends. read more

Love it: the ambiance, the service and the food. We went after Yankees' game against the Tampa Bay a.k.a champabay, left at 7th inning when there wasn't a run!! OMG guys, can you hit? It's a bodega neighborhood but this little gem is just perfect for a after game meal or drink. The house wine are pretty good. The zucchini is something, so is the branzino and the shirt ribs (tender). All are delicious and well presented. If you like fish on the bone, you should come here, and ask for it: the last time at Kyma in Roslyn they messed it up, and served me with the filet . The fish is well prepared and ... sorry I ate it with my hand at some point. Hope there isn't a camera to record this. read more

Absolutely amazing food paired with a quiet ambiance that makes every moment unforgettable!

They seem to be incapable of cooking a lamb chop. I ordered them medium rare. I sent back the first order because they were well done. The second try was medium-well. I ate some of it. Also, when I tried to pay with the card I had left to keep the tab open, the server essentially called me a liar. They blamed the other bartender, who had kept the card in its usual place near the register. The place was empty at the time, which is how it deserves to be. read more

I went here for my cousins first time out in 10 years and I will not lie the oysters were fresh and the passionfruit margaritas were on point & my cousin also had the lamb chops entree he ate the whole plate, this is definitely somewhere I'd visit again especially since I live in queens read more

I've been wanting to try this place since it opened. What better time than summer? PROS: Very friendly staff Fast and attentive service Chef circulates to ensure/ask if food is good You don't feel rushed Great drinks Great desserts The branzino was delicious Clean restrooms 15 minute walk from the subway station (B, D, #4). Bus (#6) to subway is across the street. CONS: Too dimly lit. Even in the middle of the day you can't see the menu. Uncomfortable seating. Hard chairs and wooden benches. To their credit, they've placed decorative pillows for you to lean/sit on. However, in this day and age, who's using a cloth pillow that hundreds of other customers have rested upon? FINAL THOUGHTS: I thought the salmon, pasta, and lobster ravioli were going to be my forever go-to's, but they didn't taste the same/as appetizing on subsequent visits as the first time. The pear and arugula salad was good but just a bit too salty. I'd try it again and ask for no salt next time. I think this is a welcoming, reasonably priced place to come and relax over drinks and dessert, and I would return in the future. read more

stopped in for lunch a couple of days ago! service was very nice and friendly and fast. i got the crab mac and cheese and it was a big portion for lunch. it was a good price as well. it came out really fast and i loved it!! read more

Great service! Our server was very attentive. Food was delicious and prices are reasonable

This food is good, really good. I've been coming here for years and I am always pleased. The drinks are also excellent. The chicken Milanese is outstanding. I also love their eggplant which they made a couple of different ways but always delicious. It's friendly, small, comfortable. I usually meet a friend for a late leisurely lunch and some drinks. The server is often the bartender because we are there between shifts. This is a great little gem in the neighborhood. It's out of the way but worth the trip. read more

This place is a hidden gem! The small but comfortable pasta heaven is very comfy and welcoming! We were greeted with a smile and seated right away. We asked what the waiters favorite was and he quickly recommended the Cavatelli Salsiccia, it did not disapoint. This was the best bowl of sausage and peppers I have had to date! Portion was hearty and the flavor was incredible. Overall experience was the perfect stop before the quick walk to Yankee Stadium! I will be back! read more
