A great restaurant. Genuine positive vibes. Great tasting dishes. I love the Catania's focaccia, it's so light, fluffy and nice. The sauce and all the toppings isn't salty at all but balanced and flavorful. Aarons got the dough down! The chef making the dishes also does a great job of taking care in the craft of making each dish and the nuance of how long a pie should be in the oven, no more no less. We really like the Caesar salad as well. Great beers on tap too, and what looks to be a great cocktails list too. A great unpretentious while stylish ambience as well.

This place is the best pizza in Sacramento! Zero flop good undercarriage! Flavor is on point! I haven't had pizza this good since I was in Chicago multiple times! Do not pass this spot up. It's at the Mercedes dealership on Howe Avenue.

Pizza is amazing I got the Torino and Pear Martini was so delicious The service was ok. I sat at the bar the service at bar wasn't as warm and friendly as I would expect In the restaurant business.

Since I had already known about "La Porta Restaurant & Bar" from a Yelp event that I attended on 12/14/2024, I figure why not check this place out on my own time. Since this new, upscale pizzeria restaurant officially opened its doors back in February 2024, I had seen it every time I drove by in this area. Located directly on busy Howe Ave and tucked in between Alta Arden Expressway and Wyda Way, the building itself is actually connected to the Mercedes-Benz of Sacramento dealership. I came here with my lady during the evening of Saturday 12/21/2024 at around 5:30pm. I made the reservations through the Yelp app as this process was a breeze. As for the parking, it can fill up during dinnertime but there are signs that are dedicated for La Porta customers only. Once proceeding inside, I noticed it wasn't too busy and a reservation wasn't necessarily needed. The layout of this place was very spacious as the very front of the building had modern lounge chairs and sofas while the bar area was displayed perfectly. There were also lots of windows that graced throughout the building with a very generous seating area. Once seated, we were given food/drink menus and iced waters. Our hostess was very attentive and gracious as we browsed through the selections of appetizers, salads, pastas, and very generous pizza selections. Since we both wanted to go the non-alcoholic route, we both ordered the "Mocktails". I went with the mint flavored (much like a virgin mojito) while she went with their blackberry/pomegranate one. We decided on the "Patate" which is their twist on French fries. And for our main entree, we decided on splitting the "A4 Torino" (in a 12" size) pizza. This consisted of homemade tomato sauce, mozzarella cheese. pepperoni, mushrooms, pepperoncinis, and Italian sausage. Our drinks arrived in less than 5 minutes followed by the fries just a couple minutes later. And since their pizzas are cooked in a hot wood-fired oven, that arrived just a few minutes later. As for the overall taste & flavor, I was absolutely sold on every level. The crust had the perfect rise to it as it had the right crunch factor to it. The cheese and tomato sauce balanced perfectly while they did not skimp on the pepperoni. Even the sausage had a great smoked taste to it as this was the perfect amount of toppings with each and every bite. We even enjoyed their fries as these too were crispy and perfect when dipped in either the ketchup or ranch dressing. Since I work behind the scenes in the health & human services sector, I had the opportunity to meet the owner, Aaron Parker around the time this place got its permits approved. Since then, him and his wife Zhenya have been a driving force in really putting this place on the map. In addition to their pizzas, they also offer a huge wine and cocktail menu as well as hosting trivia nights every Thursday. Finally, they are open for business 7 days a week; Sunday-Thursday from 11am-9pm and Friday-Saturday from 11am-10pm. With excellent service, a trendy & upscale vibe, amazing food & drinks, and decent prices, I am giving "La Porta Restaurant & Bar" a perfect five-star rating.

We really enjoyed the pizza here. Service was very friendly and we would not hesitate to return again. We also loved the beet salad.

This pizza spot is a gem! Their wood-fired pizzas are perfectly crisp, packed with flavor, and made with fresh ingredients. The cocktails are equally outstanding--creative, balanced, and refreshing. Friendly staff and a cozy vibe make it a must-visit for great food and drinks. Highly recommend!

We came to La Porta when they were first opened and inside is very spacious the ambiance is very nice with a different selection of pizzas we got the suggested hot honey one and oh my was it so delicious I think one of my favorites the staff of course super nice and everything came out very fresh and made to order I enjoyed everything about our meal and would definitely come back!

We came here for an early dinner and our experience/service was about a 3.5 ~ round up to 4 stars mainly for the food. It was our first time here and we were pleasantly surprised and pleased with our order. We got the Roma pizza, and the Rucola salad along with truffle fries, a beer for him, some samplers and we shared our items. The service unfortunately was not the best bc they only had 2 people on the floor. I felt bad for the waitress and it was getting busy with more people coming plus a large part of 10+. If they had more servers I'd give them a 5 star rating. When there's low wait staff there's a lack of communication. For example, no one told us that a side dressing was going to be $4.... Yes 4 dollars and it was in a little container. That's the price for a little side salad!!! We were very generous with what we ordered we were even going to order dessert. But the lack of communication and just how busy the workers looked, we let it go. For the price you're paying here you can go to a fancy date night restaurant. Parking is a bit tight as it is also near the Mercedes Benz dealership.
