In the heart of Tappan, IL Portico offers a warm, classic Italian fine dining- with an intimate, exclusive twist. Guests dine by private reservation ONLY, with personal attention from owner Peppe Pinton, who brings to each guest personalized hospitality. Pinton made his name as a professional soccer sports executive as an owner with Lazio of Rome and New York Cosmos, alongside of Pele, Beckenbauer, Chinaglia, before planting his roots in this historic hamlet of Tappan with a total focus and dedication to this bright and remarkable restaurant.
Owner Peppe Pinton, a distinguished sports executive with ties to the esteemed Lazio of Rome and New York Cosmos Professional Soccer teams, carries a rich legacy of success in sports and hospitality. With his coaching contributions at Ramapo College of NJ leading to numerous postseason and NCAA triumphs, and his 40-year stewardship of the Cosmos Soccer Camps, Peppe embodies a commitment to excellence that resonates through every aspect of IL Portico.
