I must say the wait staff could be quicker once seated. Bringing water and a menu for lunch. Love PortaBella.More infoPortaBella RestaurantPrice: Expensive• French• Carmel•4.5
- KKatieCoastal Georgia •1 review4.0Dined on Feb 2, 2025The food was excellent, homemade fresh pasta and delicious sauces. Would definitely return for the food; however, the noise level was horrible. It’s a small, quaint place with only a few tables inside and we were seated next to a large party (which took up 85% of the dining room) who were loud, rude, and drunk. The food was lovely but our table couldn’t even hear eachother or the waitress. If you go, request to sit outside or your ears will be ringing by the end of your meal!More infoEnzo Ristorante ItalianoPrice: Expensive• Italian• Carmel•4.1
