Porta Porta Italian Restaurant

Great food and nice atmosphere in the restaurant. The calamari was lightly breaded and slightly springy with a good bite. Really delicious starter. The seafood risotto was very good; umami flavour with some sweetness from the seafood and generous amount of seafood. Wish there was more risotto though.

Our food tasting experience at Porta Porta was nothing short of extraordinary. The communal delight of the homemade bread antipasti set the tone, while the simplicity and perfection of the calamari left us in awe, earning a well-deserved 10/10 rating.

The seafood risotto, with its generous serving of prawns, was a delectable masterpiece that left us craving more. However, it was the lamb rack paired with cheesy truffle mashed potatoes that stole the spotlight, showcasing a harmony of flavors and textures that delighted the senses.

Porta Porta has truly redefined Halal Italian cuisine in Singapore, setting a new standard of excellence that is unmatched. Undoubtedly, it stands as the epitome of the best Halal Italian dining experience in the city!

Tried the beef ragu, wife had the squid ink pasta. Was too busy eating and forgot to take photos!

Both were excellent and portions were massive.

Wanted to also say the chicken liver pate was very good. I usually steer away from this dish because of the metallic taste. However thought I should give it a try and boy am I glad I did!

The complimentary bread was also really good as was their smoked (I think?) eggplant dip.

Absolutely amazing. Will be bringing the rest of the fam back!

I want to try the chicken, the risotto , and the calamari next!

We have eaten at Porta Porta several times and enjoyed it every time. The menu reminds me of the Italian food my parents cooked growing up and we love having an authentic halal Italian option to enjoy with our Muslim friends. The portions are extremely generous and great value. My favourite dishes are the Calamari Fritti, the Homemade pate, the lamb chops (these were thick and juicy!) and surprisingly the gnocchi Quattro formaggi (4 cheese gnocchi)

First time patronising this restaurant. Highly recommended to make reservation prior to the visit. (Lucky for us we managed to get a table despite not making reservation earlier)

We ordered Pappardelle, Gnocchi and Lamb. All the presentation are pretty simple, but the flavours definitely do not disappoint! Very classic and authentic Italian way of cooking. Overall it is a very pleasant dining experience. Will definitely come back again.

Experience the finest Italian cuisine with the added assurance of halal certification at this cozy restaurant. Upon entering, you're greeted with a homely atmosphere. Their homemade bread, served with olive oil and aubergine, is a delightful starter. The service is both speedy and welcoming, with staff offering helpful recommendations. A standout dish is the parmesan aubergine, wonderfully creamy. The fried calamari, though fresh, benefits from a squeeze of lemon for added flavor. The highlight, however, is the pasta selection, featuring savory options like aglio olio prawn and creamy mushroom, both equally satisfying. Generous portions make sharing between 2 to 3 adults ideal. Save room for dessert, we had the panna cotta with sauce and fresh fruits is exceptionally delectable. Round off your meal with a hot latte for the perfect conclusion to a memorable Italian dining experience. Reservations are recommended, especially on weekends when the restaurant tends to be full. Highly recommended for all food enthusiasts.

Authentic tasting Italian pasta. Porta Porta does really well to bring you that traditional taste and experience. My favourite was the Tagliatelle Beef Ragu

The food was delicious and the service was good too! Came for iftar and the food was served just nice. Ordered the bread basket, Spaghetti Aglio Olio with prawn and Tagliatelle Ai Funghi! All super yummy! Price is a bit higher but for the food quality i believe its worth it! Would recommend!!

Nostalgia brought my friends and I back to Porta Porta. The location may be different from the old one at Changi but the food and staff definitely bring back the memories. Am so glad the quality and taste remain the way we remembered it. Chatting with the lady owner/chef is like taking to an old friend or relative. Thanks for all your hard work!

Value for money to enjoy such amazing food @$30.50 for their lunch set. Tried seafood and meat set.

Shared a basket of bread to pair it with their amazing olive oil. Then comes the soup and afterwards carbs. Their portion is moderate yet leave you full at the end. Really enjoyed the calamari; the squid is definitely fresh and delicious!

The staff were nice and friendly. Overall enjoyed my time here!

Stopped by for lunch on a weekend. The service is very good and friendly. The restaurant is well set up and simple. The aglio olio with prawns was very well done. Save the bread to soak up the garlic sauce from the aglio olio. We also had the rosemary chicken which was very tender. Parking may be a bit of a problem so best to come early.

Come here if you want authentic Italian cuisine. Everything we ordered was delicious.. The staff and owner, Kak Roziana, were amazing and friendly.. Didn't have to wait long for food to be served too. Overall, we enjoyed ourselves. Such a warm and cosy ambience in the restaurant, just nice for intimate gathering with friends or family. Will definitely come again..

Took their set lunch! Ultra worth, cozy, a little dark but if you are up for that ambience it's a yes! Very attentive servers as well.

First time trying out Porta-Porta with my friend. We had the Seafood set and were very satisfied with the food. The Spaghetti Vongole was great and full of garlic flavour. My favourite would be the fried calamari. We end the meal with Tiramisu and coffee. Overall the experience was great and i can’t wait to try the dinner menu next time.

Great atmosphere, Good food, Friendly staff!

It’s got a very ‘at home’ vibe although it’s my first time here! I strongly recommend to order the Calamari over here!! It’s so magical how they managed to make something so simple, taste so so good! Thank you, I had a great time!

Porta Porta is quite a distance away from Tanah Merah MRT but it’s well worth the walk!

A nice cozy restaurant specializing in Italian cuisine that offers bang for your buck lunch sets ($30.50).

We ordered the seafood set and the meat set. These sets came with refillable bread with eggplant olive oil which were really delectable starters. While all the dishes were good, my favorites were the seafood vongole and calamari. Don’t be deceived by the smaller looking portions of your pasta dish - at the end of your course meal, you will feel contented and stuffed.

Shout out to the service staff as well who was pleasant and attentive :)

Catch up with friends in Saturday evening. The staffs are friendly though we just walk in without reservation but they accommodate us in just fine while other customer hasn't arrived, that's the spirit.

We were served immediately by the waiters walking us through menu and recommendation, that is really warmth service. We had the house courses and herbs chicken along with juices and of course, a latte for myself.

Had a great time spending there chit chat with friends and we can see the restaurant is actually full house. The waiters keep doing rounds to serve us water to keep us comfort, kudos to that! Keep up the great work and the services!

It's a friendly, homely atmosphere. Beautiful decor. Very welcoming by the waiters. We took the 3 different sets which is the vege set, meat set and seafood set. All sets come with soup, appetisers, main course, dessert and coffee/tea. For the price, it was very worthy. Fresh and superb food. All 3 sets comes with 3 different type of soups as well. Highly recommend this restaurant.

I called in for a reservation last min and was glad they could accomodate. Casually mentioned abt my husband’s birthday meal but was not expecting them to remember it, yet they did came w a nice surprise for him at the end.

We received impeccable service from Amir, very thoughtful. Initially ordered a plain aglio for my 3yo and he suggested to add some protein(chicken) for her otherwise it’s too plain. He was also very understanding when my 8mo keeps dropping stuff on the floor.

Very impressed w the sphagetti, cooked to perfection. We brought my 3yo’s leftover home, heat and eat the next day and the noodle still taste al dente. Only comment was my hubby’s prawn aglio could be a tad saltier, everything else tasted really good!

We’ll certainly revisit again! Thankyou, Amir, for the pleasant experience 😊

We had dinner on a Friday night & the setting was nice. Nice table and homey decor. Clean toilet. Good service. Lady in charge friendly & helpful with our orders.

As usual the squid ink pasta was the highlight our party of 5, we had 2 orders ⭐

The anti-pasta was very good ⭐. Especially the egg plant that tastes so nice with the toasted bread 👍🏼

We also shared the Gnocchi pasta which was not too bad. Extremely temperature hot when served so gotta be careful.

Overall it was good food & nice ambience.

Price value : good
