Eating this food makes me genuinely happy. Each bite is almost surprisingly good even after you just had one. The lamb shank and risotto are like little bites of heaven, and the Nero pasta is fantastic. My wife says the Branzino special might just be one of the best fish dishes she's ever had -- definitely the best of dishes she can recall...definitely worth the drive from Seattle.

About the restaurant
We love everything about restaurants. In particular, we love Italian. We love the food, the wine, the diversity, and the pride that Italians take in hosting a memorable experience.

We’ve spent our lives developing restaurants. From a simple deli or a laidback pub to award-winning fine dining, we have worked hard and are proud to present Autostrada Osteria.

It’s a place with a simple philosophy. Inspired by the casual osterie of Italy, the focus is on a simple menu where quality ingredients shine, regional wines that represent a place, and a room filled with warmth and bustle.

We hope you enjoy what we’ve poured our hearts into.

This is a new restaurant in River District. We tried it out and we will be back! Great appetisers, recommending burrata and arancini. Good pizza and pasta and the best hazelnut gelato we had in a long time. They also have good prices and happy hour.

About the restaurant
Gastown's popular Water Street is alive with the taste of another era. Meander down the cobbled sidewalk and stumble across a true find, the uniquely situated Al Porto Ristorante. Spacious yet cozy, the room is as distinct as the cuisine that defines the rich flavour, and culture of Italy.



Please call the restaurant for parties of 7 or more. 604-683-8376
Private rooms and special menus for groups are available.
