    We tried this restaurant for the first time last week, and it was a wonderful experience. We ordered appetizers, main courses, and dessert, all of which were excellent, especially the dessert which was a chocolate mousse cake. The service was also very good, and I felt our two waiters really knew what they were talking about when they recommended dishes to us. We will definitely be back.

    The food is delicious, the atmosphere is warm and welcoming, the wine selection is extensive and the parking is convenient. Even though we live out of town, we will return without hesitation and know we will have a delightful experience again. Highly recommend.

    We can't wait to go back to Laporta's: I have been going to Laporta's for many years. We eat there at least once or twice a month. I have never had a bad meal. The food is always excellent. I look forward to the homemade soups and homemade deserts.
    It is a family owned restaurant.
    The service is always excellent. We have taken many friends and family there for dinner and no one has been unhappy.
    Our grown children always want to go there when they are in town.

    Our favorite waiter, Paul, always knows what we like and always takes care of us.
    It should be rated as one of the best restaurants in the country.
