    Had the fish special which was delicious. We were out of the main room which was much quieter and we could hear each other easily. My friend had the filet with gnocchi which is easily one of the best dishes on the menu. She loved it. Our waiter was attentive and helped us pick out tasty cocktails. All in all a pleasant evening.

    Our server was Jordan, and she was amazing! She was so kind to us and very informative and helpful with the menu and specials. My boyfriend had the Penne Carbonara, and I had the Capellini Pomodoro E Basilico, which I added grilled chicken to. Both dishes were absolutely amazing! The portion sizes were large as well, which we appreciated! The manager on duty was also very kind both over the phone and in person. We really appreciated everyone making our night special and staying open for us as the last reservation of the evening. We do not regret choosing Porcini for our belated Valentine’s Day date / celebration, and we would both definitely recommend Porcini to others for an intimate & upscale date night experience, 100%!

    I took my wife to Porcini's for Valentine's Day. It was perfect. The service was great and so was the food. The only problem was that the Cats lost.
