Porto is a coastal Mediterranean restaurant in Boston's Back Bay — a bright, warm room to land in on a cold night. Executive Chef Josue Louis cooks the food of the coastline, from Amalfi and Positano to Athens, Crete and Costa Brava: mezze built for sharing, good olive oil, citrus and herbs, seafood handled simply and served with confidence. The Whole Seared Branzino comes to the table whole. The Positano Raw Bar Platter arrives on ice with lemon and room for every hand reaching. The Roasted Mushroom Mafalde Pasta and the fluffy Gnocchi are two guest favorites.

Inside, Porto is warm and unfussy — welcoming guests for every occasion from an cozy, elevated weeknight dinner, to a celebratory Saturday night out. The staff remembers regulars and as winter turns, it's a cozy table to settle into for a long dinner with friends.

A destination dinner in Back Bay that still feels like the neighborhood spot. Find us in the heart of Boston's Back Bay.
