Laporta's Restaurant

ALEXANDRIA. Enjoy live jazz as you feast on fantastic seafood at this elegant, candlelit restaurant. Douglas Laporta, chef and owner, has earned a reputation for Continental-style seafood and pasta dishes. Look for the fresh catch of the day or favorites like salmon, mahi mahi, and snapper. Salads and chicken and beef dishes are available too. Margaret Laporta ensures that desserts are made fresh on the premises and are always show-stoppers. After dinner, relax in the jazz lounge, which features live bands most nights of the week. Business casual attire. Reservations recommended.
