Porta Via Italian Kitchen is a Nashville based restaurant with two locations, 21 White Bridge Road, Nashville, TN and 3301 Aspen Grove, Franklin, TN.

Porta Via became the first restaurant in Tennessee to achieve Vera Pizza Napolitano (VPN) certification. This honor is shared by only 59 other restaurants in the country. To create real Neapolitan pizza, Porta Via must follow strict standards: quality ingredients, including tomatoes harvested from Italy’s Mt. Vesuvius region, fresh mozzarella and 00 (doppio zero) caputo flour supplied directly from Naples, Italy; absolutely no mechanical methods used to create or press the dough and finally baking the pizza in a specially-crafted wood fire oven constructed in a bell shape from volcanic rock. The oven cooks the pizzas in 90 seconds at 750 degrees temperature, minimizing the average wait time
for a patron.
