My favorite Italian place – I've been dining at Porcelli's for several month's and am inviting a group there on Sunday because I am so very fond of the place. One of my friend's noticed the recent poor reviews which appeared all of a sudden and asked me about them. When I looked at them closely, it is evident to me that they were written by the same person. Each one spells disappointed incorrectly, and each one references Mama Mia's as being their favorite place. The language syntax is very similar in all three. I don't know... read more

Not boring or bland – Edited on august 25, 2008 For jaja999, ozzjer68, and katiekat11 who I believe are the same people. I can assure you jaja999 that I am not the owner. If you would like to name a date and time, I will meet you at Porcelli's, and prove it to you. If you would like to place a bet on it , just name the amount. Put up or shut up. My problem with you, is that,you are trashing a good place, and admit that you never complained to the very friendly and considerate staff, who would have done their best to correct ... read more

Business response:

It is nice that you keep coming back t;o our restaurant. We appreciate the fact that you feel that our food is more authentic than the americanized version. We do appreciate you wonderful comments.

Dissapointed. Very blan food. – I was so excited to try this place after the reviews and maybe my girlfriend and i just ordered the wrong dish. I do love the ambience and how the owner/chef cooks it right there as you order it so you know it's fresh. However I was surprised of the lack of flavor. I am not into over salted/spiced food but I swear neither of our dishes had much of either. If there is one thing I can't stand is pasty tomato sauce and the sauce was soooo pasty and really had no flavor. The other dish tasted like... read more

Business response:

I am very sorry that you had a bad experience. We take pride in the fact that we cook everything to order and don't have sauces that sit for hours until you order it. I would hope that you give us another try because we really try to make your experience the best it can be.

Fabulous tiramisu! -- possibly the best in Portland – The pasta dishes are excellent every time. I like the new touches with the decor; it's becoming more aligned with the desired category of "Italian bistro." The retirement home paintings should go, though. 

Business response:

I am grateful that you like our pasta and tiramisu. We are still working on the decor. Someday we will have it looking the way it should, even the paintings.

Procelli's in the John's Landing, South Burlingame area: definitely a place to eat excellent Italian food. I've been to Caro Amico, Seasons and Regions and other area restaurants but Porcelli's does better Italian dishes than either and at more moderate prices. The ravioli, salads with great house dressing, as well as the veal, chicken, etc. are all outstanding. Porcelli's is a real "neighborhood" place with a comfortable feel but with a cuisine which rivals higher end places. Also, Porcell's is NOT a grocery but simply the ... read more

Business response:

Thank you for your kind words. Yes, we are not a grocery, just a simple Italian restaurant. We are glad that you had a good dining experience with us and hope that your return visits are just as nice.

Fantastic, freshly prepared food – Found this great little place purely by accident. I've been to Porcelli's several times for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and have been bringing friends at every opportunity. I have never been disappointed. Fast, friendly service. Fresh food, made to order, just the way you want it. Really good Italian dishes, with sauces made from scratch -- like the alfredo, rich and creamy. I have never had a dish I didn't love -- from omelettes and pancakes, to salads, shrimp or chicken alfredo (they eve... read more

Business response:

I am glad that you found us. You have figured us out. We are not trying to be that high end fancy place, just a neighborhood spot that serves quality food at a reasonable price. I am really thankful that you feel we have achieved that goal.

Great local restaurant! – Went here Sunday March 16th for our first dinner here. The food was terrific! They served some of the best Italian food that I have had since living in Portland. The restaurant provides a great value and the service is excellent. Dining here is more than just going out to eat and being a generic number. Eating here you actually feel like a person. Other restaurants could learn from this. The waiter actually talks to you and he really knows his business. It was such a positive experience and we will ... read more

Business response:

Thank you for your kind words. We hope that we can make all of your dining experiences with us better than the last one that you had.

Awesome joint! – Food = superb. From the antipasto to the gelato and everything in between, the food at this friendly place is very good and very well-presented. Service = perfectly attentive and casual. Ambience = casual with a touch of neighborhood class. Love the open kitchen. Very highly recommended. 

Business response:

Thank you for your kind words. We enjoyed having you at our establishment and look forward to your return.

BEST Food Find ever.... – I LOVE this palce. My girlfriend feels just as strongly as I do. Everything is in fact, made to order but, the most amazing thing about this is, the alfredo. It's not stocked and frozen. It is made right when you order it. all the sauces are to my understanding. They have this incredible setup. When you first walk in it looks like the open kitchen is or has been, taping a cooking show and you are eating on the set of it. So no matter where you sit, it feels like you are eating at the Chef's table ev... read more
