What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Porcospino offers a genuine Italian culinary journey, with many praising the divine antipasti, tiramisu, and the welcoming atmosphere. However, some diners have noted surprisingly small portions and high prices for the quality received, alongside occasional issues with service attentiveness and cleanliness. The vibrant, albeit sometimes loud, ambiance is a recurring theme in reviews.
"Simply italian - Bellini might have been not my favorite, but Limonchello Spritz is good. Antipasti were divine and so was tiramisu. Nice atmosphere in general, be prepared that it’s pretty loud :)"

"Went there recently for the second time - lunch only. In short - ridiculously small portions at rather obscene prices for the quality presented. Food was lukewarm and mediocre at best.
Plus - if you are projecting to be an upscale restaurant, at least make sure your silverware is clean. Took three attempts to get a clean knife and only with a nice 'pinch' of attitude from the owner. Second time there (about two years apart) and disappointing both times. Take your money elsewhere."

"This is a great Italian restaurant for locals and works famous stars. Food is excellent and very good value for money. The owner is a great character. Cheese."
