Porto

Day 4: 5-Course Elevated Mediterranean Tasting Series

This Back Bay eatery specializing in superb Mediterranean (with a hint of Italian) food has been around since 2016—but while that's a lifetime in the restaurant business, rest assured Porto is not resting on its laurels. It continues to thrive, earning a place on 2022 “Best Of” lists such as Boston Magazine’s “50 Best Restaurants” and Time Out’s “Best Mediterranean Restaurants.” Executive Chef Amarilys Colon is a protégé of Porto owner Jody Adams, winner of a James Beard “Best Chefs in America” Award. Born in Puerto Rico, Chef Colon joined the Porto team in 2018 as a line cook and worked her way up. Night after night, she expertly turns out the dishes that Porto diners keep returning for, like braised lamb shank with polenta, cipollini onions, and pine nuts, thyme and Meyer lemon-roasted chicken, and the seafood that is its real claim to fame, such as pan-seared scallops and branzino. Leave room too for exceptional desserts like burnt Basque ricotta cheesecake and a quintessential version of tiramisu. Time Out gives Porto five stars, so, really, what more is there to say?
