Porcino - London, Ontario

It's nice inside and the service was great. My partner got a pizza and it was so so. Our friend had a Caesar salad and was disappointed. It was okay, don't get me wrong as the food was good, but we have had better.

This place is always solid but never blows you away. We had the calamari, olives, bruschetta as appetizers. The bruschetta was a special and was excellent. For mains we had the veal Parmesan with salad and porcini pizza. The veal was delicious but the salad was just lettuce and was ... not great. The pizza was very flavourful and tasty. The atmosphere is ok, but it feels cramped and small. There is a patio if you have a nice evening. Read more

Went out for a family dinner had entre Caesar salad (very salty and small portion) would suggest maybe put 2 sizes because for 12$ it was extremely small portion. Had also entree of olives they were fantastic! Got also Calamari, sauce was good but calamari was very very chewy and ... tough. Main dishes were good overall. Also I know summer is here but fly traps might be a good idea considering they were everywhere and very annoying. Read more

Our go to place for pasta in town. While they don’t have a cocktail menu, you can ask the server to make you one based on your preferences: as shown in my first pic. Reservations are recommended because they almost always ask if we have one.

I went to Porcino's for the first time tonight with two other guests. The food was great! We started with several appetizers, the Caprese Salad, Arancini, Calamari and Three Spreads. The Caprese Salad was excellent. My fiance, who gets them often, said it was the best one he has ever had. The ... Arancini was crispy and delicious. There was one large ball, and I expected multiple balls because I am used to that from other Italian places, but it was large and had a great taste; 3 of us were all able to enjoy it together. The Calamari tasted fresh and was not overly deep-fried. It was of excellent quality and didn't remind me of an app deep-fried at a bar. The Three spreads came with House Made Tapanade (Olive Purée), Hummus (Chickpea Purée) and Roasted Red Pepper-Goat Cheese Spread. The Tapenade and Roasted Red Pepper dip were fantastic, the hummus was not very good and tasted like low brand hummus from a grocery store, but it was the only disappointment of the night. The mains were veal parmesan, chicken parmesan and mushroom ravioli. All of them were awesome! The service was standard, nothing special, nothing bad. The environment is romantic and would make for a great date. The Christmas music in November wasn't for me, but I get people love it haha. The wine list is also great. Overall very good experience, and we will go back again! Read more
