Porta Bella

Decided to walk in the store after my boyfriend liked some 3 piece suits in the window. Quickly greeted buy a young middle eastern guy, who immediately found the correct sizes for jackets and checked the vest sizes for each jacket. The pants were extremely long, so he assured me that all the pants were like that and he can tailor them in about 2 hours. He sized the legs to my bf’s preference, and we checked out. He didn’t charge us for the alterations and knocked down the price on two three pieces suits and a separate $ 50 grey zip up jacket, totalling about $ 302. Everything seemed good quality, will update if anything falls apart given the other scary reviews. Overall a good experience!

Be careful. If you have a low budget, this will be the place for you. But understand YOU PAY FOR WHAT YOU GET!!! I purchased a suit, a belt socks and a pair of shoes. They rushed when it came to tailoring my pants. they basically screwed them up. I can’t even wear them. The belt buckle broke as I was trying to put it on… then after only wearing my shoes for ONE MONTH, the sole on the right shoes became detached. After spoke with the store they claim that since I made these purchase for the shoes back in March, I can only come in and purchase another pair of their cheap crappy ass shoes, at a discounted price. So basically they are saying even though you purchased shoes from us and they are defective, not only won’t will replace them, we want you to come back in and but another pair!!! HOW SHITTY!!! My advice is go to K&G fashion store. Their prices are comparable to this place and the customer service is even better! If there is an issue, you can call in AND BE ABLE TO UNDERSTAND what they are saying as they are 100% fluent in english! I wouldn’t buy a bag of roaches from Portabella!

I would consider this review a cheap suit comparison of Porta Bella and their sister suit-​sellers down the street, Fino.
Both stores are run by the same company. They both have decent suits for the price, but (if you read my review of Fino you’ll see) Porta Bella is a little friendlier and their tailoring skills are better.
After a disappointing outing at Fino, I was in need of a second suit for interview season. I wanted a slim fit, two piece suit that could get me through interviews but also double as something to wear out to fancier crap when the occasion called for something more than a nice pair of jeans and a dress shirt.
The salesman at Fino had turned me off, so I almost had to do a doubletake when the saleman in Porta Bella could have easily passed for the other guy’s brother (slicked back hair, fast talker, well dressed). The problem at Fino was I was rushed through everything so I immediately put on the breaks and tried on several suit coats before deciding on a black, slim fit suit with a subtle stripe. This salesman was much more helpful than the last. He gave me some advice for ties (I was going too dark, «interview right? not a funeral?») and I picked up another fitted white shirt. The suit, shirt and tie ran about $ 185 but he knocked it down to $ 170. I know it’s not the ‘nicest’ suit, but for the price, it looks a lot nicer and I’m hundreds of dollars the wiser. We went through the same song and dance I had done at Fino: pay at the register, sign for the pick up, here’s the pink slip of paper to bring back, see you in an hour… wait…an hour? Fino made me wait until the next day. This guy was gonna crank out a pair of tailored pants within the hour… these were gonna be crap. He took my measurements. Waistline. Outseam. No Inseam. I told him how bad my last pair ended up because no one measured the inseam, but this guy insisted he knew what he was doing and looked a bit offended that I had doubted his tailoring abilities.
This was at 7:15pm. I planned for a 8:15 return, and walked 125^th popping in and out of stores to waste time. I come back at 8:15 and the guy is standing at the door asking if I’d forgotten about my suit?!? I now know three things:
Don’t question the Porta Bella salesman/tailor’s capabilities
«One Hour» means «Less than One Hour»
Porta Bella closes at 8pm on Tuesdays.
I knew it was kind of a jerk move at this point but I asked if I could try on the pants before I left. Because they had the key in the door, ready to lock up, they told me to try them on at home and come back if there were any problems. I still had my receipt and lived nearby so I agreed. When I got home, I tried on the pants. I’m going to get this salesman’s name and pay him to tailor every pair of pants, jeans, sweatpants, and swimsuit I ever buy. Excellent job. Perfect fit. He really made that $ 130 suit look like a hell of a lot more.
Service earned the 3 stars, 4^th comes from the tailor job on the pants. Well done.

They sell decent suits. the staff is very courteous but very persistent. Seems like they beg you to buy a suit.
