Notas de uso
- For meal courses, portata is restaurant/menu language; piatto is more common for the dish itself or everyday talk.
- For technical 'range' or 'capacity', portata is common; for physical distance range, raggio or gittata may fit better by context.
- A common pattern is alla portata di + noun/pronoun: means 'within reach' literally or figuratively.
