In 1994, Peter Garland left behind a burgeoning career in public relations to open Porta Via when Canon Drive was the quietest street in the Beverly Hills business district. Borrowing money from family, Peter sensed a solid business opportunity by serving the clients of four legendary hair stylists with salons on the block.

Porta Via, Italian for "take away, " offered a menu that would travel well focused on fresh baked goods, locally sourced produce, quality meats and seafood. Not only did the concept succeed in the salons, Porta Via soon attracted locals who lived and worked nearby. Starting with only # tables in 900 square feet, Peter stood out front to draw people in with his welcoming personality.

Nice place to catch some brunch early when many of the places in Beverley hills don’t open before 11am. Food is good and staff is nice. Will recommend.

Go here fairly regularly and have yet to be disappointed. We try to sit with the same server but he wasn't in this time. All of the wait staff was so attentive without hovering. The bread was brought out toasted, as always, and our water glasses were never empty. My friend ordered the butternut squash tortellini and I the burrata with heirloom tomatoes. This place never disappoints.

Very nice atmosphere and very good food. The service was also good. I’ve had the salmon on Caesar salad one meal and spaghetti another visit and both were really good.

Good selection of dishes and very good service. Great seats on the street and quite seating inside. A lot of fish dishes but also meat and some pasta.

Sat outside the restaurant and received wonderful service. The food was excellent and portions were spot on. I went with the waiters recommendations and started with drinks and an appetizer. We dressed up for the evening but their was groups with casual clothing on too. Highly recommend!

We went for a friends bday brunch and had a blast. All the servers treat you like you’re a regular—with great service. I had the lox and cream cheese scramble with a salad instead of potatoes. It was delicious. As were their mimosas, coffee, and fresh squeezed juices. I had a bite of my friend’s steak and that was also very good. We ordered a lot of mimosas and food—for a party of 13–and the bill was $54 each. Not bad for Beverly Hills.

Prove me wrong.
I went to this venue been guided by
Google to enjoy Happy Hour.
Neither the Manager or Personnel were at any point attentive or assertive.
Blaming who ever manages the website informacion.
Please Don't Go to Happy Hour is a catch, unless you prove me wrong!
