Located in historic downtown Covington, Del Porto is very good.

This was an attractive, hip restaurant. We were seated immediately by a very friendly host and that quality service extended through our meal. Everyone who we encountered were professional and provided great service.

We started with beef carpaccio. Never having eaten raw beef, I was skeptical. It was amazingly thin slices of raw beef with lettuce, sauce and crustini bread. Together it was a unique, but very tasty bite.

Our next course was salad. Each of our salads had amazingly fresh greens and homemade dressing. They were also very good.

For entrees we had the fish special and the steak. The steak was my entree and it was one of the best steaks I have had. The "painted hills" New York strip was cooked perfectly with crispy potatoes and was truly amazing.

Del Porto isn't cheap. Our total for two diners with drinks and tip was $212, but this is one of the best restaurants on the Northshore. I highly recommend it.

One interesting thing I noticed is the bar scene. The bar was crowded with women who were just having drinks. This would probably be a great place to get a drink if you're a single guy.
