Porcini always delivers no matter the occasion. It was a treat to celebrate my mother-in-law’s birthday here, and the food, ambiance, and service were all impeccable. We were lucky enough to sit on the patio to take in the weather and dinner (and dessert :) ) were a lovely accompaniment. The mushroom ravioli and shrimp linguine were two stand out favorites from our meal but everyone loved their dish. Very accommodating of a food allergy at our table as well!
