    A real neighborhood gem that the whole town has discovered! I have been going there for years! It was my birthday and they had a singer sing Happy Birthday in Italian. I am Italian too so that was even more special.

    Was disappointed that my favorite cocktail was not available last night. Service was not what we are used to at Porcini’s. Food was great!

    We had another outstanding meal at Porcini! This is our go to place whenever we are in town. It’s always reliably delicious, the atmosphere is relaxing and the service is never rushed.

    Came here for our wedding anniversary. Atmosphere is lovely. Service was smooth and timely. Shrimp appetizer we shared was delicious. Lamb chops entree was rather fatty and a little bland on flavor (herbs etc). Mushroom risotto was the star of the meal. Asparagus was spot-on. Fried pork chop entree was very good. Chocolate cake dessert was surprisingly a ho-hum. I love the place and would return and probably try the pasta entrees for sure next time, as I know they’d be wonderful too.

    Absolutely fantastic! Always predictably great food & service. And a great testament to see a full house on a cold winter Monday night.
