We were craving Italian so we made a reservation here. I had the gnocchi and my husband had the carbonara and both were very good though I'd say the gnocchi was better. The service was also excellent.
Came here today for the first time and the food was absolutely amazing and delicious. They had a deal going on and we decided to try it out. The interior design and service was great! Our Server John was amazing and made sure we gave him a good tip! I am just here for vacation, but I will definitely be coming back again!

Been here a few times. I was invited by my girlfriend here initially when she purchased a $25 for $40 deal for two on Groupon. There are two entries to the restaurant, one is a little hidden in a building where you have to take the old elevator to access to the restaurant and the other is near the intersection on Water street in Gastown. The restaurant is spacious and not too busy during dinner time. The overall ambiance was authentic with Italian arts and decor everywhere. The lighting was dim and romantic with a Italian feel to it. The pasta was decent portion but not that special or authentic as I anticipated. I believe there could be more improvements for the price they set at mid range. The mushroom risotto was a bit too watery, hard and lack of flavour. However, I really like the cream brûlée for dessert, it's better to be shared with two because it's a bit too much and too sweet for one person to finish. I would be back again to the restaurant only with Groupon deal, would not pay full price for this place.

Al Porto Ristorante義大利餐廳於1987年起在溫哥華最早開發的城區“煤氣鎮Gastown” 開業，由於省政府於1971年將該鎮列為歷史城區，區內商戶連同市政府部門於70年代開始便積極在區内進行美化，將舊建築復修至原貌，在街道上鋪設鵝卵石，令該區發展成溫哥華的主要旅遊觀光景點之一。由於餐廳離溫哥華捷運的Waterfront station不遠，走一小段路就到了，加上四周懷舊的氣氛，所以晚市時段經常爆滿，一位難求
Al Porto位於“煤氣鎮Gastown”一座紅磚古舊歷史建築內，整個餐廳藏得挺隱密的，從外面完全看不出來，但大家不須擔心迷路，只要按餐廳的招牌指示轉向巷子裡面的入口後再下一層樓梯就可以抵達。餐廳面積還挺大的，共分為兩層四個區域，樓上的一層是閣樓Loft space區，有極好的景觀，可遠眺北岸群山和Pan Pacific郵輪碼頭，但平日不會開放使用。另外地庫的一層分為三區，包括Wine Room、Dining Area和我今天被安排入座的Terrace平台用餐區。餐廳的佈置極具歐陸宮廷氣氛，木造門窗和拱門，加上牆壁上的巨型油畫和花瓶擺設，怪不得這餐廳被選為本市最浪漫的西餐廳。
Adorables, ThickToast, and I decided to share a couple dishes to try more variety, so we got their Arancini Funghi ($8.95). Basically they were wild mushroom risotto croquettes stuffed with provolone served on a bed of basil tomato sauce. We were confused at first since they came in three balls (thought they were meatballs). Anyways, cut it open to find delicious cheese that was melty and a creamy mushroom risotto shell which was crispy on the outside. The tomato sauce was nicely seasoned and made it quite appetizing. Great for dipping bread too!

Just had dinner with my bestie here. dont understand why the low rating - the entrées were great and so was the dessert. i had a white sangria which was absolutely delish. bestie had a groupon so our bill wasnt too bad. will def come again!
Great Experience. I don't know why this place doesn't rate higher on Urbanspoon. This is a great restaurant, . The dishes are nearly perfect and the wine recommendations/pairings from the server were spot on. Special mention goes to the Oso Bucco.
The atmosphere is here can best be described as comfortable and the kind of place you could spend all afternoon. If that's not enough for you for semi-casual Italian, then you're overthinking it.
A favourite!. I absolutely love this place...they have a great lunch deal which is a steal! I have never had a complaint about the food and the service is top notch. I have family that visits from Ontario every year and they always want to come back to this place. You will not be disappointed! It can be a bit tricky to find as it's down an alley in gastown but don't give up!
Nice and quiet Italian restaurant. Tasty food and good wine selection. Impeccable service by Cheri.
The atmosphere was fantastic. Looked pretty old class and stylish. The desserts and appetizers were great. Main course though, was the only time in my life that I did not eat my steak completely. It was char. But, too char. Some pieces had just charcoal taste. During our main course, no one stopped by to check if everything is fine. When they came for the plates, I asked for talking to the chef about it. Our waitress was so friendly and offered us free drinks or cutting the dessert’s fee, and explained they were short on staff. We might be back in summer as I liked the sunset view of the second floor. But, it definitely will not be a steak
We enjoyed the food. A bit on the expensive side but quality and taste were great so I'd say it's reasonable. However, the service was not quite consistent with every patrons. You can see how they are more attentive to others and to some, barely checks on you. The lady that has the white table napkin going around saying she was the server barely checked on us. We came 10mins before the early dinner promo and mentioned it to us saying we got 10mins, and with our menus closed and ready to order just in time, she is nowhere to be found. Walking past us and not making eye contact. It was the lady that gave us water and took away our plates that gave us more attention. I seriously hoped she got our tip and not the other one.
A very nice Italian place that was close to our hotel with great decor in a comfortable setting. The food was top notch. Our pizza and ghocchi were fresh and delicious. Would recommend. Only downside was service differed between patrons, kind of inconsistent. But they were great with our kid. If you're craving pizza/pasta then it's perfect for you.
Came upon this restaurant by chance when another restaurant was full. We’ve always walked passed here but never stopped to try and are we glad we did! The service was amazing and the appetizers *chefs kiss* 10/10. For mains I got the linguine pescatore and I was in love. We also had the shrimp and prawns risotto which wasn’t as yummy as the server made it out to be. The atmosphere is on the fancier side so the food is on the pricier side.
5 stars for the service, Sixto was a fantastic server - super quick, and super friendly and gave good tips on what to have for their early dinner special; he suggested the lemon tart and it was perfect - would have been even better if they had espresso cappuccino!! But otherwise, the food was awesome and the restaurant itself is super nice. Perfect level of music volume, clean, and classy :) the host was also very nice!
Wow wow wow.. The food was amazing. My kids don't even like fish but they loved my Halibut.. Craig the server had a perfect balance of when to come by and didnt show up too many times to be annoying.. My wife and I were there 8 years ago and it was ok. But this time it was really good.. Normally I'm the first one done eating dinner. But this time I was last cause I loved the taste so much I didn't want it to end.. Sorry Honey, but this was the best meal I have had in a long long time if not ever..
Overall the food was fantastic. Risotto was perfectly cooked and the linguine nicely made but found the service im general was fairly slow.
