Like an old school red-sauce joint, tucked away down a side street in a small town, this restaurant never fails. We've been here a few times, with no problem getting a table. Last night we had to put our name in and return an hour later. Assurance, that this place will always be here. Complementary Table-Side Salad done by Joe; who everyone knows. He's been working here as long as the place has been open. Big basket of bread, which is free as well, hits the table before you even order. We had the Zuppa Di Clams over Linguine and Pork Braciole/Red Sauce over Rigatoni. Both excellent and filling. We took an order of Cannoli (2) to go, because we were stuffed Add a glass of Chardonnay and a soda, the bill came to about $100 (with tip). They take online reservations, and they do serve food in the bar.

We made reservations on their website and glad we did. It's a small space and while seated we saw a lot of folks walking in and being turned away. Service was super attentive and on us the whole night. And not in a bad way. We ended up getting the Pulpette for appetizers and for mains the Quattro Formagio pizza, the Spaghetti Carbonara and the Ravioli of the Day. The Pulpette was amazing. Grandma making the meatballs kinda experience. So tender. So juicy. A must when coming. The Quattro pizza was also very good. Good crust. The Spaghetti Carbonara was a bit on the salty side but nothing my Italian beer (Birra Moretti) couldn't save. The Ravioli was perfectly cooked and seasoned perfectly. For dessert we opted for the Creme Brule and of course had to end the night with the Pistachio Cannoli and a Double Espresso because why not. Both desserts were outstanding and the coffee was perfect. Overall it was a wonderful dining experience which I would highly recommend. Kudos Porto By Antonio.

Italian/Latin American fusion has officially burst its way onto the New Jersey food scene, and all…read moreI want to do is ask why. Goodbye Vaporetto the Italian restaurant, hello Vaporetto/Patrona, the doubly named, odd fusion concept. If you jump in your time machine and go back to early January, Vaporetto was a quiet Italian restaurant with pretty decent reviews, a nice view of the city, and good food. Fast forward to now, and the classic white tablecloths and charming old school décor have been replaced with a plethora of neon art and lighting, as well as a gigantic red carpet backdrop when you walk in that you can take photos in front of, should the paparazzi follow you here. We had a reservation for three at 7pm on a Tuesday night. Having eaten here once before I knew it probably wouldn't be busy (the reservation was purely for 100 OpenTable points) but I did not expect so few people. Two, to be exact, sitting a few tables away. They left 10 minutes after we sat down, leaving us the sole patrons for dinner on a Tuesday night. We stared at the menu for a while, confused. Basically all of the Italian food is gone, and the menu now heavily favors the Latin American options. Drinks? Red wine, Montepulciano. As Italian as it gets. Great prices, nice bottle selection, and both of the ones we ordered came perfectly chilled. What better to pair with our Montepulciano than...chips and salsa? Nope. Not Italian. Super confusing for our taste buds. The chips were good but the salsa was too sweet. At one point we almost ordered a pitcher of sangria, but got a taste of it beforehand...also way too sweet. Apps for all of us? We decided to embrace the fusion theme and ordered two Italian and one Latin American dish. Eggplant pasta, grilled calamari, and a trio of mofongo. Working backwards, the mofongo filling was good (two meat and one shrimp) but the plantains were mashed and then fried or baked to look like cups in order to hold the filling. I've never had super crunchy mofongo before. The eggplant pasta was okay; the eggplant itself was nicely cooked, but the sauce was again too sweet and far too oily. The calamari were an interesting shape, and nicely grilled, just a bit bland. Three things that would have improved all three: more spice, less oil, lots of garlic. We ordered dinner after the apps were cleared, and we all went for three fairly different options. We got the parrillada patrona (pretty much a gigantic plate of meats, hot dog included), pechuga rellena, and a whole bronzino. Serving size? Gigantic. I was the one that got the fish, and though the sauce they put on it was bland and generally necessary, it was cooked very well and came with plenty of lemon for the meat. I love a good whole fish, and for $30, this was definitely worth having. The waitstaff was nice, but service was super slow. We got in at 6:45 and ate at a normal pace when food was delivered to us, but we didn't get out until almost 9. We were legitimately the only table there, so it's not like there was a backup in the kitchen...but we weren't in a hurry, so it didn't bother us too much. The theme of the night? Neon. As you can see from my photos, everything is highlighted in this odd neon glow from the lighting that spans the entirety of the restaurant. Vaporetto/Patrona, what are you? I came here for a stuffed artichoke, chicken parmigiana, and maybe some tartufo, but was disappointed to see those Italian classics are now completely absent from the menu. Your Italian roots, your staples, your bread and butter (and yes, literally, your bread and butter) have been abandoned in favor of an odd fusion concept that i'm still a little confused about.

Price was great, $35 per person for bottomless mimosas (ends at 4PM) and a buffet. What was failed to be informed to us was the horrible service we would receive. Now it makes more sense, we indeed PAYED for what WE GOT! When made the reservation they also failed to tell us it was CASH ONLY. You can imagine a large party of 12+ people arriving and now having to head to a nearby bank, because the atm at the restaurant charges a ridiculous % fee. Our reservation was at 1PM and this place opens at noon for brunch however when we finally sat down at our reserved table around 1:20PM the food buffet wasn't even close to being ready for everyone to begin enjoying their meal. The only time someone came to our table was in the beginning to give us a bottle of champagne with a bottle of OJ, After that we kept having to get up to go to the bar to get a new bottle or juice, as well as any other service. The hookah guy was probably the only one who had attentive service (Hookah $30 and refills $20) The cutlery was pretty gross, some glasses we had to exchange because they had stains on them. The tablecloth was a mess and it looked dirty or simply washed wrong. This doesn't surprise me since the windows were filthy and it was such a shame because the view it's amazing. The food was mediocre, the only thing I enjoyed was the sauce links and thankfully the music was on point. The DJ and the hookah was the ONLY thing I truly enjoyed. They have two restrooms, one upstairs and one downstairs, which I was glad because I did not want to keep having to walk downstairs. I'm not too sure how this place is during the week or when they don't have this brunch special. I don't think I will be coming back soon unless it's a last minute thing just to enjoy the DJ and the mimosas and I will know what to expect.

I ordered the Ropa Vieja (Cuban-style shredded beef) with veggies on the side, and my friend got the Costilla de Res (short ribs) with white rice and black beans.

The ropa vieja was just as impressive, packed with flavor and really satisfying. Even the chicken soup was delicious and comforting. And had a nice amount of chicken for the price! We ended the meal with Cappuccino and Cuban Coffee which was also amazing! For the lunch prices, it's honestly hard to beat the quality and portions you get here. The service was also great, everyone was attentive and friendly throughout the meal. The ambiance was nice too: relaxed, not overly crowded, with plenty of seating and good music playing in the background.

We ordered the Hot Hunny pizza and the Burrizza--both completely different but equally incredible. The flavors were unique, well-balanced, and honestly just exquisite. The ambiance tied everything together perfectly--super cozy, inviting, and with a cute, stylish vibe that makes you want to stay a while. Safe to say, I've found a new go-to spot in the city. Next time though, I'm definitely making a reservation!
