    Don’t get trapped with their no change reservation, otherwise you will pay a hefty fee. Food mediocre at best, surprised about the high ratings on this site. Afterwards checked TripAdvisor and Yelp and those reviews were more accurate.

    Great food. Wonderful small, cozy place. A bit noisy because it is so small…but food is worth it.

    I've had several meals at Porcini over the years and it has never disappointed. The food is consistently stunning, yet unpretentious. The atmosphere is like eating in someone's home. The service is welcoming and friendly...the kind of place you could go to every week.

    Porcini never fails to impress...our meals ahead of going to Helium were amazing. Didn't realize it was restaurant week, so was at first disappointed I couldn't order off the main menu, but their specials were perfect. I had the ravioli and it was cooked perfectly! And the carcciofi - great app without having to scrape it off with my teeth, just bite after bite of perfect artichoke. Can't wait to go back!

    We make a point to eat at Porcini’s whenever we come to town. We luckily discovered this culinary gem in 2014! We will definitely be back! The delicious home-cooked meals, BYOB policy, and friendly and attentive staff make for a lovely evening. Highly recommend!
