Great food. It was hot. It was well timed. It was delicious. Short ribs and shrimp with pasta. Great selections. Food and wine. Attentive employees. Sincerely friendly. Is there anything you can do about the acoustics? Very difficult to converse without really yelling. If I owned the facility, I would seek professional help with sound dampening.

Nice atmosphere and great food. This was my first visit to Porcini but I'm definitely up for another. We had the goat cheese appetizer and shared a bottle of Dragon white wine. Entrees were all enjoyed - salmon, chicken, and red snapper. Then there was the tiramisu! Highly recommend it all.
