The Bottom Line Porto Vivo opened in August 2009 in Huntington. Housed in a former antiques store, the newly-designed building features two elegant dining floors, plus another floor with a stylish marble bar. The restaurant's talented executive chef is Steven Lecchi, formerly of NYC's Lespinasse, Italy's Bellevue Beach Hotel Milano and one-time private chef to celebrities Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony. Lecchi has created a superb menu along with consulting chef John Doherty, a native Long Islander, who was the executive chef at the Waldorf=Astoria hotel for the past 23 years. I'd suggest this restaurant for a romantic first date.

Porto Vivo Restaurant, Huntington Photo ÂŠ Porto Vivo

Pros Delicious food Great value for high-end meals Good presentation of meals Beautiful design Friendly service Cons None Description Porto Vivo address: 7 Gerard Street, Huntington, NY Phone: (631) 385-8486 Cuisine: Rustic Italian, steaks, seafood Range of prices per dinner entree: $16-29. Hours: Dinner: Sun.-Thurs. 5:30-11 p.m.; Fri.-Sat.: 5:30 p.m.-12 a.m. Bar: Sun.-Thurs. 5-11 p.m.,Fri.-Sat.: 5 p.m.-2 a.m. Porto Vivo website Guide Review - Porto Vivo Restaurant Review

As my husband and I entered through Porto Vivo's entrance, with its floor-to-ceiling glass windows and marble tile, we were suddenly inside an elegantly designed space. The decidedly upscale look of this building with muted tones and soft lighting is matched by the superb flavors of its imaginative menu. The surprise here is that you get true value for your money. Here, you'll pay the same price for an entree as you might for appetizers in other restaurants. I sat in a plush chair at our sleek black table, where a candle flickered, not far from the working fireplace. We started with the savory roasted fennel and also ordered the roasted beets and ricotta salad with pistachio oil. Because we were both very hungry, we ordered a third appetizer, which we split: the feather-light, hand-rolled goat cheese and ricotta gnocchi. All three appetizers were heavenly. Entrees include tasty flatbread pizzas, and a wealth of pasta dishes. Meat dishes include certified Black Angus filet mignon and organic chicken. My husband thoroughly enjoyed the grilled branzino, a light and tasty fish, which came with a fresh arugula salad. I ordered the slow-roasted wild salmon, served with roasted fennel puree and salmon caviar. We also split a side order of delicious grilled asparagus with parmesan cheese. Desserts are delicious and decadent. I recommend the warm peach and almond tart, served with raspberry sauce. I'm not a fan of super-sweet desserts, and this luscious dessert comes with just a hint of sweetness, but is filled with rich flavors.

A Jewel in Long Island...

Photo courtesy of Porto-Vivo Friday night, i headed to 7 Gerard Street in Huntington, NY with my agent Rosie and photographer Ezequiel Delarosa to see a clients/friends new restaurant. Rosie and I felt like we could have been in any chic coastal restaurant anywhere in the world. The rustic and sleek 3 level restaurant called PORTO VIVO (www.porto-vivo.com) was all that and more! The menu had great small bites (Sauteed eggplant, spanish style grilled octopus, arugula/proscuito flatbread pizza) and for the main course i had mushroom risotto and a side of spinach, Rosie had a great half order** (a nice idea) of gnoochi but more than enough for one and Ez had lamb with rigatoni stuffed with a lamb pate' by far his dish was my favorite the stuffed rigatoni could have been an entree alone:-) A great addition to the evening was meeting Serena Williams and her sister (not Venus), what a gracious, beautiful young lady! Take a quick 30-40 minute ride out of NYC an experience PORTO-VIVO! xxoo, D'angelo Posted by Beleza at 7:03 AM

Dishing on Dining | Porto Vivo Wine Experience and New Prix Fixe

1/6/10 4:07 PM

Acacia, Chardonnay, Carneros, California, 2007 The vibrant aromas combine ripe peach and citrus character. On the mid-palate, the creamy flavors blossom to expressive peach, pear, citrus and apple notes. Nectarine, vanilla and toasty hazelnut nuances linger on the finish. A well-balanced lively acidity. The wine's silky, complex flavors make an elegant match with richer seafood and chicken dishes. Red Banfi, Centine Rosso, Tuscany, Italy, 2007 The calcareous soil and temperate climate of Tuscany rewards this wine with a balanced fruitiness. The centime is a bright ruby-red youthful wine, intensely fruity with a lingering finish. It is an ideal companion to pasta, grilled or roasted red meat and white meat. Grape Varieties: 60% Sangiovese; 20% Cabernet Sauvignon; 20% Merlot. Cantine Colosi, Nero D'Avola, Sicily, Italy, 2008 The grape variety Nero d'Avola is certainly not as familiar as Chardonnay or Merlot but that could change as this little-known indigenous grape of Sicily gains in popularity. It is Sicily's premier native grape. It makes rich, spicy and velvety red wine that's easy to drink but that can take a bit of aging. It's full-bodied style, combines well with a rich hearty meal. Dessert<â&#x20AC;&#x2039;/p> Moscato D'Asti, La Spinetta, Piedmont, Italy, 2008 Porto Vivo 7 Gerard St. Huntington, NY (631) 385-8486

nuances linger on the finish. A well-balanced lively acidity. The wine's silky, complex flavors make an elegant match with richer seafood and chicken dishes. Red Banfi, Centine Rosso, Tuscany, Italy, 2007 The calcareous soil and temperate climate of Tuscany rewards this wine with a balanced fruitiness. The centime is a bright ruby-red youthful wine, intensely fruity with a lingering finish. It is an ideal companion to pasta, grilled or roasted red meat and white meat. Grape Varieties: 60% Sangiovese; 20% Cabernet Sauvignon; 20% Merlot. Cantine Colosi, Nero D'Avola, Sicily, Italy, 2008 The grape variety Nero d'Avola is certainly not as familiar as Chardonnay or Merlot but that could change as this little-known indigenous grape of Sicily gains in popularity. It is Sicily's premier native grape. It makes rich, spicy and velvety red wine that's easy to drink but that can take a bit of aging. It's full-bodied style, combines well with a rich hearty meal.

Executive Chef Steven Lecchi - who after many years of cooking in some of Tuscany's top restaurants and most recently was the private chef to Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony - has created an imaginative menu along with consulting chef John Doherty, born and raised on Long Island, and who for the last 23 years was the executive chef at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel.

In the bar and lounge area, an imaginative cocktail menu is available with concoctions such as pineapple-basil daiquiri, Riviera sunrise, tomato basil martini, rhubarb Bellini; blueberry and ginger margarita; and the signature cocktail, the Porto Vivo sour, made with calvados and fresh house made apple juice. A separate martini menu offers creative martinis such as lychee, James Bond, Peachy, Espresso and red mandarin. Porto Vivo will serve dinner seven nights a week with a late night lounge in the bar area on weekends.

East of NYC - The Buzz: Review: Porto Vivo in Huntington

East of NYC - The Buzz August 31, 2009

Review: Porto Vivo in Huntington This post originally appeared on our sister-site, Eating Long Island: Porto Vivo 7 Gerard Street Huntington, NY 11743 631-385-8486 It's not often that we get to visit a restaurant the very week that it opens. A highly visible establishment in our very small community of food writers on Long Island, Porto Vivo is stretching its wings during this first week of flight. Our visit on Saturday night was filled with many surprises and we think that we may have just awarded our "Newcomer of the Year" award to this young restaurant. Porto Vivo is not your usual restaurant. Housed in an old antiques shop on Gerard Street, the space is unlike that of most of Long Island. There are 4 levels to this restaurant/lounge with an impressive entryway setting the stage. With the four levels come four distinct atmospheres and experiences. The lowest floor houses the wine cellar. In the future, we could see private wine dinners and tastings being held in the temperature controlled room. Speaking with the owner, the wine list will be growing significantly in the near future and this will be a shining point in the restaurant's offerings. Moving up vertically from there is the main dining room. The ground floor dining room has the most activity and is quite noisy, but intimate enough for a date. Just above this level about a half a floor up is the lounge/bar area. Flanked by flatscreens on the wall, the action lies here while you wait for your table or stay late at night after the kitchen closes and into the last call. The bar is circular and you'll be able to enjoy the fine sights of the well-heeled customers who are hunkered down and enjoying their time at the bar. The very top floor is broken down into two separate areas (one with a fireplace) and could easily house a private party or two. Serena Williams had the top area the night before we dined here, fresh off her first pitch at the Yankees game. The decor is straight out of Manhattan and not what you would typically see on Long Island. The attention to detail was visible in everything from the carefully chosen cutlery to the exposed brick and leather covering on the walls. The trendy atmosphere was highlighted with low lights, chocolate brown accents and mellow lighting. We had a corner table on the ground floor so we had the perfect vantage point to check out who was coming to the restaurant. You might expect some hiccups on an opening week (or month) but the service was as smooth as a seasoned veteran. The waiters were extremely attentive to our every need and helpful with our dining choices when we asked for recommendations. An italian menu flush with seafood and pasta dishes, the quality and presentation of the food was excellent. We started off our meal with a Grilled Squid Salad as well as their House Salad. Large chunks of squid were grilled to perfection and sitting neatly within a salad of its own. The house salad with its citrus dressing, sliced pear and blue cheese topping was refreshing and engaged our palates for the next dishes. For our entrees we split it down the middle with one of us getting a seafood dish and the other a veal milanese. For the seafood we ordered the salmon, which was slow roasted and served with fennel puree and salmon caviar. The wonderful texture of the moist salmon combined with the pop of the salmon caviar created a wonderful sensation in your mouth. This was our favorite dish. The veal too was superb with its fried crust (but not too fried or oily). Since all of the dishes are served a la carte, our side was Porto Vivo fries, drizzled with truffle oil and served in a cone. A dinner wouldn't be complete without a sampling of the dessert selections. Stuffed as we were, we somehow found the strength to engage the sweet tooth inside of us. The peach tart and the molten chocolate cake were calling our names. The molten cake is usually served a bit hotter than I received mine, but I enjoyed that luke warmness better. It's a personal opinion though, as my wife wished it was a bit hotter. It was warm enough for the chocolate on the interior to ooze out of the outside shell and onto the plate. The espresso sauce boosted the flavor a bit and was eventually cut down by the chocolate ice cream served on the side. http://eastofnyc.typepad.com/thebuzz/2009/08/review-porto-vivo-in-huntington.html#more

cream served on the side. Porto Vivo combines many aspects of a fine meal. The atmosphere is top notch while the cuisine shines just as bright. We eat at a lot of restaurants around these parts and the complete experience that Porto Vivo will offer you is what will enable this newly formed hot spot to thrive in the coming months and years. We can highly recommend this newcomer to you and hope that you will find it every bit as intriguing and satisfying as we did. Pros: Decor, Service, Cuisine, Wine List Cons: If I think of one, I'll let you know.
