Il Porto, which promises to be an oasis in the culinary desert that is Wallabout, is moving steadily toward it May launch. When we passed by this week, contractors were hard at work installing the two storefront window areas at 37 Washington Avenue. Contrary to what we wrote first time around, the brick oven pizza restaurant will not be run by the same folks who ran the Brooklyn’s Best Pizza in this location in recent years. It’s a new crew. Given that our new office we’re about to move into is just a couple of blocks from here, we’re thrilled.
