Madison Food｜Porta Bella – Italian Charm on State Street! 🇮🇹✨

Discovered Porta Bella Italian Restaurant—tucked away on a side street across from Target (look for the grape sign! 🍇). Built in 1968, this place feels like a cozy, vintage villa with exquisite decor and an intimate atmosphere. 🏠🍷 Best part? Prices are surprisingly reasonable—only ~$30 per person! Here’s what we loved: 🍝 Shrimp and Scallop Scampi – Creamy white wine sauce with tender seafood. ($29) ☁️ Tiramisu – Classic, light, and not too sweet! ($7) 🍞 Complimentary Bread – So good we devoured every crumb! Perfect for date nights or special occasions! 💑🎉 Fun fact: The cellar-like dining rooms and rustic vibes make you feel like you’re in Italy! #Madison #ItalianFood #PortaBella #DateNight #UWMadison #FoodieGram 🥂🇮🇹
