    We have dined before and really enjoyed it, that was not our experience last evening. The shrimp dish was inedible, rissoto wad the texture of mashed potatoes and cold. We told the gentlemqn and he said hed let chef know but nothing was done, the service was so slow ans for no reason as the restaurant was half empty by the time we were having dessert and needing the bill. Will not be back.

    We sat outside on the covered patio and were perfectly comfortable in the slightly chilly November night because of their overhead heaters. Everyone enjoyed their food including the cesar salad, gnocchi con salsiccia*, capellini pomodoro e basilico, and that night’s pasta special. Our server was wonderful and very knowledgeable about the specials and general menu. *I highly recommend this one! I came back home from college for the weekend and specifically requested to go to Porcini to get the gnocchi. It’s one of the foods I always want to get when I come home.

    Celebrating 2 family birthdays, there were 7 of us. 2 pizzas, 2 filets, veal, redfish, & ravioli. We had a lot from the menu + calamari & tortellini for appetizers, & everyone thought theirs was delicious. Christian brought us 2 beautiful panicotti parfaits for our birthdays too. The evening was great!
