In every Italian household there is a pasta table—a “pasta tavola”. This is where authentic, fresh and delicious food is made by hand, often with other women sharing traditional recipes and cooking techniques from the old country. The pasta table is where our Nonna shared her love of good food and taught us the art of making fresh pasta from scratch.
Situated in the heart of Trenton, The Port Bistro Pub is located in a beautifully restored historical building overlooking the Trent waterway. In the summer season, there is a spacious patio where you can watch the boats pass.
The Port features a menu of gourmet comfort foods made from the very best quality, local products. Everything is made in house including hand-cut frites, beer buttermilk buns, desserts, ice creams and all sauces and dressings. We are proud of our unique beer list featuring local, regional and international brews, a comprehensive wine list and a great selection of cocktails and martinis.
Additionally, we offer warm, friendly customer service and a fun unpretentious atmosphere that is uniquely ours. We strive to go above and beyond our patron's expectations and make The Port something the community can be proud of. This is partially achieved through our Green Initiatives and by highlighting the area's finest produce, cheese, meat, beer and wine.
