Portico Restaurant & Bar

Portico on Facebook

Portico is in a charming cottage nestled on River Road; Its Country setting is reminiscent of Napa Valley’s Wine Country or Italy’s Portofino.

Surrounded by fragrant fresh herbs and blooming flower gardens sits our stone terrace. Benches strewn with plush blankets surround a large stacked stone fireplace. Flickering candles on tables create the perfect setting for outdoor dining under the stars.

From our small kitchen cottage, we serve a casual Italian-inspired menu along with a carefully selected wine list.

Portico is open seven days a week for lunch and dinner and brunch is served on Sunday mornings.
