A staple in my culinary routine. Wonderful atmosphere, exceptional staff, and food that doesn't disappoint. Be sure to not miss the chocolate cake.

Found this place while on travel with my hubby. I was craving Italian food. This place did not disappoint like some of the other places that we went. Service was amazing our servers were attentive and the garlic bread we ordered was amazing. I wish that we had ordered more... I had the gnocchi Bolognese and hubby had ravioli both dishes were amazing. we ate so much bread we couldn't finish our food. I asked the server to give us a to go box and utensils so that we could give it to homeless person on our walk back to our hotel. Whenever we are out of town and eat out we typically like to take the rest to go and give it to someone less fortune then us because we are just going to throw it away because we wont have time to eat it before we have to go back home. Definitely would recommend this place. We plan to come back and bring our kids so we will back.

Great Italian food. I'm from NY, I can tell. We liked it so much we returned 2 days later. No need to seek a change!

Il Porcellino is a pretty good Italian spot, but the service was kinda meh. The food, though? Amazing! We tried a bunch of stuff, and it was all super tasty and the portions were big.For starters, we had garlic bread and brussels sprouts. The brussels sprouts were flavorful and cooked just right, and the garlic bread was to die for—so garlicky and cheesy, yum!Now, onto the main event. We got the rigatoni vodka pasta, cheese ravioli, and the special of the week, gnocchi. The rigatoni and ravioli were delicious, you could tell they were homemade and fresh. The gnocchi was the only letdown, it didn't quite hit the mark.The restaurant itself is nice with great ambiance, but it's always busy. Even with a reservation on a weekday, we had to wait over 30 minutes to be seated, which was annoying.But the real bummer was the service. Our server seemed annoyed and didn't check on us much. We had to keep waving him down for water, and there was a mix-up with our order that he didn't handle well. It's a shame when good food is overshadowed by not-so-great service.I'd ONLY go back for the food, if the service improves next time!

My husband I held our rehearsal dinner in the private event space in March 2024. We spent years coming here on dates, and were excited to begin the next chapter of our lives as a couple here. We couldn't wait to share our date-spot with our family and friends. The event coordinators and day-of staff were a dream to work with. They ensured tables were set, decor and favors were placed on tables, and took great care of us during our event. Our guests raved about the food, cocktails, atmosphere, and music.

The atmosphere is beautiful the food especially the lasagna and chicken. Parm is so delicious. I had the stuffed mushrooms and I was almost about to order a second one. It was really good. I enjoyed the food I did go on Easter and I tried the lobster linguine, but it was too bland for me lack flavor and for the price it was literally half of a lobster not even a whole lobster. Other than that this place has really great chicken Parmesan really delicious, the bread was amazing. Everything was pretty much really good. The surface was a little slow and could be better.
