    I've heard about the food here but I was never one to follow crowd but I'm glad I took the chance and dined here. I went during their pizza special but was tempted to try their pasta and I'm so glad I did, it was absolutely brill! Presentation, taste and portion (I couldn't even finish it 😅) Yes I'd pass again, they've always had ambiance and if we could have ordered, ate and left within an hour while they were fairly packed - I'd say service was an A+!

    Incredible restaurant in jolly harbour with sunset views. Make sure to book a table as it does get fully booked. Band on a Monday night well worth watching. Caters for vegans.

    Food was very good and the restaurant is right on the water! We actually docked the boat right in front and had dinner. The decor is nice, and the ambiance is nice as well.

    Affordable, great tasting pizza and good cocktails. Good customer service with a wait time of roughly 10 minutes. A vibrant atmosphere where time flies without you even noticing. Give the sweet potato fries a go! They’re really good too.

    On my trip to Antigua, I visited this restaurant at the recommendation of my local tour guide on 21-Dec-2023. The food was excellent! Fresh seafood in a great ambiance. However, the server (Sh....)was horrible - basically the worst person I've met in a country filled with the most hospitable, kind people! She was rude and was visibly upset when we placed our order. My local guide was embarrassed and kept apologizing for her behaviour. Otherwise, I would highly recommend this restaurant

    Love Al Porto! Always consistent, great service, delicious food and lovely setting. I am a big fan of their garlic bread, mozzarella arancini, and pasta!

    The location is wonderful, the food is excellent, particularly the fillet steak which is very high quality. The service is always good with great banter and humour. A must for those who love steak at a fair price.

    Tuesday pizzas are 33XCD!! Superb deal for top quality food. Perfect size for pizza lovers , majority of the table took slices home 😋. Have had quite a few pastas from the menu overtime and Thursdays evening is a Pasta buffet for only 69XCD!! A fantastic way to sample different dishes and I assure you will return an any given day with a favourite! Great food at great value. Beautiful atmosphere and settings overlooking Jolly Harbour 🤩

    Really nice atmosphere on outside patio dining area. Chicken parmigiana was very tasty and filling. Food also has food quality.

    I stay in Jolly Harbor frequently, so I booked a reservation in September for November for their Monday night live music. I arrive to find that we are among the first to arrive. I was greeted and asked if I had a reservation, which I confirmed, they proceeded to show me the table at the edge of where the dock is, so I asked to be seated at a different table since the place was empty and I was told those were reserved and this was the table assigned to me, not to create any issues for me and my friend, I sat down. Two guys walk in after us with no reservation and asked if the restaurant had room for two and they offered them two options, the table I requested or another table with bar stools, they chose the bar stools. I said to my friend, we weren't even offered an option, they had no reservation and she offered them the table we requested. If I was alone; on principle, I would have walked out and not given this establishment my money, but again I kept quiet, not to cause problems, but you don't treat a repeat customer like that. You don't tell a customer they can't have a table and offer it to the next person who didn't have a reservation, I booked two months in advance, this should not have been the experience. The owner should pay closer attention to the women he has working for him.

    We had a table of 14 and they were able to accommodate on short notice. The service was great and our pizzas were delicious. Lots of menu option for food and drink.

    Extremely helpful and professional staff, would make it more than 5 stars for service and friendliness. My friends and I ordered take out several times during our stay, and they went above and beyond to make sure the presentation of the food was on point. The tiramisu and pizza was delicious.

    The service was good and the setting was beautiful, but the pizza is bad. Like frozen pizza bad. Arancini was delicious.

  • 5/5 Charlie M. 1 year ago on Google
    Cute location, great menu, and wonderful service. Careful when getting here on google map. If you come from the wrong way, you have to try to convince the guard to pass through the gated community. There's also a unique "all-you-can-eat pasta" special that made sure we left stuffed.

    I stopped in for a lunch while visiting jolly harbour in Antigua. Pizza was fantastic and service was super. I highly recommend it.

    Good food, menu choice is poor, beer is expensive but staff is nice and view is too.

  • 5/5 Matthew K. 1 year ago on Google
    Popular dining establishment on the water, a must try and you won’t be disappointed. Two for Tuesday Pizza is a favourite day of the week and well worth it. Looking forward to Monday night with live entertainment. Thanks John

    We made a reservation at Al Porto for a Tuesday night for 8pm, but it seemed a little unnecessary as there were many tables available when we arrived. However, I was quickly proven otherwise as the never-ending crowd funneled in to get some food. I ordered half a loaf of Garlic Bread as a starter and received a peculiar, triangle shaped item, with green specks and something that tasted like red onions. It definitely wasn't what I was expecting, but it was still fairly tasty. Next, I ordered the most delicious Old Fashioned Rum Punch I've ever tasted, as well as a Bianco pizza and my partner a Hawaiian pizza. It took about 15 minutes for them to come out, which was a pretty good turn-around considering the number of people dining that night. At first, I enjoyed the taste of my Bianco, finding it interesting and tasty, but I quickly realized that the pizza base was the same as the garlic bread, something that tasted a little pre-made or frozen. The Hawaiian pizza was only slightly better, but it tasted like canned red sauce and hard crusts. Overall, I had a good experience at Al Porto, but the food didn't impress me as much as I was hoping. The drinks are very good, mind you, and I would go again just for that.

👍👍 If you want to try food 100% better than any restaurant in the Jolly Harbour Marina, try this place. It is very welcoming, staff are so nice and the food is the best we had on this island. You will not regret your choice. The seafood platter is a winner, but so are all the other dishes. Enjoy!

😐 Great ambiance (live music) and views of the marina. The service was very good. These were expected based on online and word of mouth reviews. The food is okay but neither exceptional or justified by the high prices. The pizzas (65-75ECD/25-28US) were decent (nice dough) but not what I expected for...
