Trattoria Enzo

Food was great, service excellent, affordable, and atmosphere very cozy. We had Margarita pizza, ceasar salad and the Italian beef. It was just the perfect amount. Not stuffed after our meal, but yet still very satisfied. I think we just found a new favorite spot.

The new owner, Chip, managed the Red Arrow Road House and so I decided to take a trip and sample Enzo’s cuisine. I had an ample portioned veggie risotto plus a Tuscan soup. Both met with my expectations. The ambience was very pleasant with an extraordinarily supportive staff focused on my every need. If there one item that may need to be reviewed was that the serving sizing was almost too much. Otherwise, it was well worth trip

The best food in the area. Possibly in the state. The wholesome nature of the recipes along with the great service from our waitress, Paige, will have me become a regular. Awesome desserts.

Without a doubt one of the best restaurants in the area. Their italian fare is unmatched, service is great and prices are reasonable.

Enzo’s is our trusted fav here in LaPorte. My only complaint is that it’s sometimes noisy on a busy night. Their food is relatively good and the service is always knowledgeable, friendly and on point. Last night we wound up going there late (after 9:00) after walking out of our original restaurant after 2 hours waiting for food– that’s subject for a different review). We called Enzo’s and not only did they tell us to come on down, but they bent over backwards to get us bread right away, take our orders and get us served. We were in and out in less than an hour, happy and well fed. Thank you Enzo’s!

My wife and I happened in by chance. We were not disappointed. The stuffed chicken was delish… the cream of mushroom soup was the perfect texture… same goes for the garlic mashed potatoes. We will be back!

Service is always impeccable, here at Enzo’s. This place gives you the small town, intimate feel. In terms of fine dining, LaPorte is limited and this place tops the market along with Spire.
My favorites:
1) sausage and pepper appetizer
2) Marco pizza
3) house salad
4) nightly stuffed chicken special
5) nightly risotto special
6) pecan ball dessert
7) and, of course the cucumber martini, which always puts me in a good mood
There was a little delay in getting out entrees which was only slightly noticeable. The manager/​owner came by the table without prompting and apologized and informed us of an oversight and that he would «comp» our two appetizers. Since I sipping on my Veramonte Sauvignon Blanc, I really didn’t mind the wait. His two visits to the table was unnecessary but much appreciated!
If you are in the area, look no further than Enzo’s for a cozy, comfort Italian dinner.

My husband and I love this restaurant! We were greeted and seated as soon as we walked thru the door. We got there about ½ hour after they opened. Our server, Hannah, took our drink order and returned promptly with our ½ liter of wine and glasses. We ordered mini calzones as our appetizer and they were served with a marinara sauce to dip them in. Served piping hot! Yum! I had penne pasta in a spicy arrabiatta sauce with shrimp and my husband had spaghetti and meatballs. This food was so well prepared and tasted wonderful. We couldn’t possibly eat our entire meal, there was enough there for 2 meals! Love the atmosphere, the food and the fact that the staff never makes you feel like you need to hurry! A great and satisfying dining experience!

Have wanted to try Enzo for a long time and finally did last night and wish I would have sooner! Absolutely delicious! Everyone from the hostess to the waitress was super friendly and attentive.
I had my favorite, Chicken Parmesan, on special and it was one of the best around. I loved the bread and oil served and the Caesar salad was very flavorful. I would only prefer that the salad/​soup be included with the entrée, instead of having to be extra. Had a cannoli for dessert and it was good, not the best I’ve ever had but tasty.
I will definitely be returning to this new favorite place!

The staff is awesome. The food is high quality and very consistent. The restaurant was recently bought and now under new ownership. I hope they don’t mess with what made Enzo’s so successful. The winning combination of high quality food, service and atmosphere.

Surprise visit to LaPorte with a bonus: Enzo. Featured risotto was creamy and hearty. Will dream of the corn chowder. Home made cheesecake was perfect. Waitress was helpful in directing choices.

I came here with my brother and his three kids at last minute while on vacation last week. It was pretty good for this area. I had the farfalle con pollo which was pretty tasty. Chicken was sort of dry and tasted exactly like chicken on my pasta dish at Brewsters so maybe they all order from same place!
My brother really enjoyed his minestrone soup and the kids got cheese pizza and my niece ordered extra sauce with her kids pasta and it took a while to get it but they were pretty busy.
Service was just ok. Hostess was real nice but waitress acted like we were putting her out just by being there.

Stopped here on our trip to the twin cities. The website drew us to this restaurant and we were not disappointed. It was Thursday evening, and we were seated right away. The staff could not have been more pleasant. Amber delighted us with her stories of the history of the building and the town. The salad, which was a special that night was delicious; much more than a simple wedge; the portion was plenty for two to share. The roasted pepper soup was recommended and was a great choice. We shared the pizza, which was also wonderful; chocked full of chicken, sun dried tomatoes and so much more! The half carafe of wine was reasonably priced and was delicious. We are so pleased we made this stop instead of hitting a chain restaurant as recommmended. It is truly a hidden gem off the highway !

Very solid Italian restaurant in La Porte with friendly proprietors and servers.
I work for a company with a factory in La Porte and this is one of my go-​to spots for dinner when I’m in town.
Full bar, good wine, draft beer, fresh bread served with good olive oil & parm
I’ve ordered all around the menu and always been happy with my food.
I’ll definitely be back.

The food is wonderful! It’s a little pricey but you get plenty of food. The only reason why I’m giving this four instead of five is our waitress wasn’t very attentive. No one at our table ever got a refill on their drinks. But the, I’m assuming, manager stopped by a few times to make sure we were doing well. Overall we were pleasantly surprised.

Came for husband’s birthday. Didn’t mention birthday, but wish we did, since we got sat in the worst table of the house, right next to the curtain to the kitchen. Actually, it was kind of entertaining watching the near misses of catastrophe of wait staff vs wait staff, and wait staff vs restroom patrons next to the curtain.
We were asked for our drink order. All carafes that were inquired about were Italian wines. As soon as these words left birthday boy’s mouth, I kicked him under the table. The question was «What region of wine is –I can’t remember the name, but it was a red wine– from»? The answer given was «Italy».
Ordered vegetable lasagna (good) and a salmon (not good) entrée.
The garlic mashed potatoes were frickin awesome, maybe the best I’ve ever had.

This restaurant is a favorite place of my husband and I. We get the dinner for two most every time we go which we feel is a great deal. The environment is casual and romantic. The food is fresh and you can taste it in every bite. The staff is very friendly and helpful. It can get crowded at night but not anything unusual for a quality restaurant. We use it for our date nights and love it! For a small town like La Porte, it’s unusual to find such a gem.

My wife and I love Enzo’s. We usually get the dinner for two special which is a great deal. The soups are always rich and delicious and the entrees are wonderful. One of the best restaurants in La Porte.

I went here for my birthday on a Tuesday evening. The service was excellent. The hostess was gracious and the waitress was attentive and made sure to answer all the questions my wife and I had. So it started out well.
For dinner: Bourbon (1 ice cube), Nailed it!
Calamari (tasted like rubber dipped in flour and spritzed with water… not good.)
Filet Mignon (I asked for it cooked medium rare, and there was pink in the middle, but it was tough as nails. It did taste like it was flame cooked).
Risotto Del Giorno (this was disappointing as it tasted like it came straight from the frozen food isle in Al’s. There is literally nothing special about this dish)
Potato-​Leek Soup (should be called potato-​chicken-​stock soup. It tasted like liquidy-​mashed-​potatoes thinned out with chicken stock. There was zero hint of leek in this. Disappointed).
Needless to say, the bill was around $ 60. I suppose for the volume of food, the price was right, but the quality was sub-​par. Neither my wife or myself will go back nor would we recommend this restaurant to people coming into town. It has the look of a nice place, but we were over dressed in jeans, button-​downs, and nice shoes. For the appearance, the food should have been much better.
I hope it hires serious cooks for weekdays or changes the menu. It definitely needs a pick-​me-​up.

i love enzo’s! this is not the place to go if you’re looking for diet food. it is the place to go for good, fresh, italian food.
the atmosphere is cozy and romantic — or maybe that’s just ’cause i was there w/​my now husband. i wouldn’t think that this is the place to go for a birthday party, or where you’d bring small children. it’s more the place to go for lovers, girls night out, anniversary party, family gathering. it’s mature and grown up, and it’s for the side of you that likes some fancy.
i have had the gorgonzola & asparagus chicken both times i’ve been. and each time is just as exciting in my mouth. fresh cream… mmmmm my husband had the mushroom ravioli w/​red pepper bruschetta… just as good, and fresh. i love fresh food!
and bread — their bread and butter is so fresh. as a rule i do not eat bread w/​meals. i think it’s gross. but fresh baked bread, that has never sat in a bag? i cannot resist. and i’m not sure, but i think they get fresh churned butter (it doesn’t have that «refrigerator» air taste to it)
and they have gelato! their banana fudge gellato is to die for!
the waitstaff is friendly, and unassuming. you barely know they’re there (i am not a fan of overbearing service staff, i like when i get what i need and they just disappear, breezing by and paying attention to your needs.)
i love laporte for the antique mall tour, so any chance i have to go back i will definitely be eating at enzo’s!
