Porta Via Ristorante E Bar - Nashville

What a delightful hidden gem in West Nashville! The Earthy Bell was fantastic. We ordered the pesto crepes, shrimp scampi, and a salad, and everything was wonderful.

Brandon did an excellent job greeting guests at the door and ensuring everything was presented nicely. The food was well-prepared, and the portions were generous.

Although it was a little past 1 PM and we were hoping for brunch, unfortunately, it wasn't available. Our server was polite, friendly, and knowledgeable, providing excellent recommendations that clearly reflected his passion for food, evidenced by the glint in his eye. He also inquired about any dietary preferences or requirements, which was a nice touch. After thoughtful consideration, we ordered the Crepes Florentine and a Margherita pizza. For the first time, we were asked how we would like our pizza cooked, which was a unique experience and well worth it. The wait for our food was a bit long, but it was understandable given that everything was made from scratch; it was truly worth the wait. While we were waiting, we enjoyed some delicious bread accompanied by an olive oil dipping sauce. The food was excellent, and as much as we hoped to indulge in gelato for dessert, we were too full by the end of our meal. Maybe next time!

What a fantastic hidden gem in the west of nashville. I love Italian cuisine and in a city full of hot bun and bar food... harbour via is a life saving. brunch is phenomenal, and so are all dishes. the small humble restaurant has amazing service and good eating! not to mention the homemade gelato is also amazing! this place is fantastic for a local, Italian, be yourself and relax the culinary experience!

The bartender Brandon was wonderful and the food was delicious. I will definitely be back!
