Al Porto Italian Restaurant Kingston upon Hull, Hull HU1 2DQ

"I’ve been to Al Porto a few times previously and have never had a bad meal here. The menu is quite expensive, but the food is absolutely fantastic and obviously made with really fresh ingredients. The restaurant itself is really nice as well, it’s a red brick interior and feels very cosy and intimate, I imagine it would be perfect for a date night. The only reason it gets 4 stars and not 5 is because it’s a bit of a pain to get to if you’re driving (no problem at all if you’re walking though) and because it’s in a building that’s multi use it’s a very strange entrance having to go up 2 flights of stairs in what looks like an office? I don’t think there’s any disabled access either by the looks of it. Great experience though, if I ever need to come back to Hull I would definitely come back."

"Really good Italian restaurant that offers a unique atmosphere overlooking at the Hull’s marina. The restaurant is in an old bricks building and the game of lights and colours makes your stay very enjoyable and warm. The food is really delicious, and keeps surprising you. Particularly good choices of ingredients like the excellent extra virgin olive oil which comes directly from Italy. I will go back and I would recommend it to friends and family!"

"A small Italian restaurant tucked away on the otherside of the marina. Its a bit of a pain for parking and it's up 2 flights of stairs on the 1st floor of a multi-use building with no lift. We visited on a Sunday at 4pm and were the only customers for the duration of our visit (we stayed until 7). There were 3 members of staff serving however 2 seemed to be more interested in their phones and chatting. My glass was empty for at least 10 minutes and nobody came to see if I wanted another to the point I had to go to the bar to order more drinks. The food was vastly over priced and portion size small and certainly nothing special, although my pint could have come with a flake (see the picture). Overall if you're going to pay this much for a meal go elsewhere."

"My colleague and I went to Al Porto Italian restaurant on Thursday and were blown away by our food! The restaurant has a really nice, chilled out vibe, but still holds a level of class. I had the duck liver to start followed by the best risotto I've ever tasted. My colleague had the garlic prawns to start and the spaghetti carbonara for his main. All of the food was lovely"
