function FormAddMenu({ registerMenu }) {
  const [nomeMenuReg, setNomeMenuReg] = useState("");
  const [descrizioneMenuReg, setDescrizioneMenuReg] = useState("");
  const [prezzoMenuReg, setPrezzoMenuReg] = useState("");
  const [disponibilitaMenuReg, setDisponibilitaMenuReg] = useState("");
  const [portataMenuReg, setPortataMenuReg] = useState("");
  const [addMenu, setAddMenu] = useState({
    portataMenuReg: "",
    nomeMenuReg: "",
    descrizioneMenuReg: "",
    prezzoMenuReg: "",
    disponibilitaMenuReg: "",
  });
  const [portate, setPortate] = useState({ value: "", label: "" });

  const selectOptions = async () => {
    Axios.post("http://localhost:3001/selectPortata").then((response) => {
      //   console.log("risposta:",response.data)
      setPortate(
        response.data.map((risp) => ({
          ...setPortate,
          value: risp.value,
          label: risp.label,
        })),
      );
    });
  };

  selectOptions();

  console.log("portate:", portate);

  const submitHandler = (e) => {
    e.preventDefault();
    registerMenu(addMenu);
    document.getElementById("addmenu").reset();
  };

  const handleCheckbox = (e) => {
    console.log(e.target.checked);
    if (e.target.checked === true) {
      setAddMenu({ ...addMenu, disponibilitaMenuReg: 1 });
    } else {
      setAddMenu({ ...addMenu, disponibilitaMenuReg: e.target.value });
    }
  };

Answer

Wrap the selectOptions(); call in an useEffect (since loading data and mutating state based on it is a side effect).

The empty dependency array (documented above) means the effect is only executed once on mount.

React.useEffect(() => {
  selectOptions();
}, []);
