This has been my restaurant of choice since I started working near the mall 13 years ago. I truly don't think I've ever had a meal here that I didn't love. This is not a typical ""hotel restaurant""; the food is always fresh and interesting. The tapenade is to die for; just give me a bowl of it and some bread and I shouldn't need anything else. But, then again, they have calamari so I have to have that too and then their fresh pasta, truly?!!! I just got back from lunch at Porta Terra. I had the Cannelloni with wild mushrooms and butternut squash. Oh my! Even though I just put leftovers in the refrigerator, I'm already planning my next trip so I can have it again. The downside is that it's expensive so I can't partake very often; but that's probably a good thing. Try it, but stay away from the sandwiches and pizza's that you can probably get elsewhere - go for their pasta's and specials. \r
Enjoy.
