Il Porto is located on King Street as it approaches the water in Old Town Alexandria. Il Porto serves home-made pasta and Italian food in a traditional setting and manner. One dish I highly recommend is the Chicken Parmesana together with the homemade ravioli's.  The portions are generous and the food is high quality and prepared with care.  A pictorial menu is online. Il Porto is definitely one of my favorites and together with a few other classics in lower Old Town, it's one of the reasons I really enjoy living and working in Old Town Alexandria.
