Updated May 2025<\/h3>\n

I first discovered Porta Rossa, founded in\u00a0 1991 by Florence native Massimo Sardelli (d. 2021) and Sevillano Juan Manuel Bal\u00f3n (aka Piru), about 30 years ago at their original location in Pastor y Landero. A wonderfully cosy spot that became my go-to place to celebrate birthdays (a tradition that has recently been revived). In 2001 they moved to larger and brighter digs just around the corner, but maintained the comfortable ambiance and excellent service.<\/p>\n

The menu includes cheese and charcuterie plates, antipasti, pasta dishes, a selection of risottos and carpaccios, along with excellent fish and meat dishes. All the fresh pastas are made on the premises, and there’s not a pizza in sight. Love the asparagus in pastry starter, and the wonderful gnocchi with gorgonzola sauce. The grilled turbot in a pink peppercorn cream sauce and Galician beef tenderloin in a black peppercorn and vodka sauce are a couple of personal favourites. But I really think it’s hard to go wrong here, so just bring your appetite and enjoy. The wine list is a pleasant mix of Italian and Spanish references. Love this place a lot.<\/p>\n
