    Michael Kennedy's spot

    Great place to eat and get to know the Owner David, his charming daughter/ waitress Chelsea and the chef. Every one is so nice, they will cook anyting any way you want it.Great calamri/ octopus appt.veal entree, spinach noodles with crab pasta fabulous. If Michael is in he may even give you his unfinished bottle. Great unpretenuous spot.

    Best meal in Years

    My wife and I picked Porcini's from a recommendation and after checking out the menu online. What a great spot. From the owner to the chef to the surrounding atmoshere it was a wonderful experience. We started with calamari and filet medallions as our appetizer-I can't even describe how great it was. Our salads were delightful. Then came our entree's- Delicious. I would highly recommend this BYOB to anyone. Thanks David and Steve for making our night out great

    Great food...extremely loud

    Two friends and I dined here as part of the Restaurant Week experience. The food and service were very good, but the restaurant is just too loud. At one point, I couldn't hear my friend accross the table because of the noise. I'm not sure what they can do about it as the space is just accoustically challanged. As a side note, the rest rooms are very small and odd shaped. Very steep steps to get down to them.

    Great Experience

    My friends and I dined at Porcini this past weekend. We were very pleased with the friendly staff and delicious meal. The rigatoni was outstanding! Although the restaurant is small, we found it pleasant and inviting. We will definitely return.

    Amazing food, ok service

    The food at Porcini's was out of this world! I really loved everything that me and my boyfriend ordered. I just wish they took into account that though we were only 2 minutes late for our reservation, we ended up waiting 45 mins. They put us in a room upstairs and didn't even offer to open up our bottle of wine until my boyfriend went downstairs to ask for a cork screw. The place, extremely small, was very loud and I practically had to yell accross the table the entire dinner. Again, the food was amazing and the owner and chef came over to apologize in the end for the wait and were very very gracious. I would go again, maybe not on a Saturday night.

    amazing meals

    Poricini is convenient to where i live- it is tiny and loud, and in short-it's Italian. I'm not sure if he's the owner, but there is a gentleman who meets and greets every customer, often given hugs and asking how the family is. I have been in 2-3 times, and he has remembered me. The food was wonderful, the porportions were great and everything was delicious. It is a little expensive but i found it to be worth the price.

    great food at great prices

    This is one of the best meals I have had for the price. Compared to other BYOBs in the area their food quality is outstanding. The place is on the smaller side so be prepared to sit close and talk with the people next to you. To be honest that added to the fun, the close atmosphere. Would recommend to anyone looking for a great meal at a good price. One of the top BYOBs in the city.
