    This is a great little byob. You almost miss it when you pass by, by it is definitely worth the visit. The food is perfect and the people are wonderful. It is a very cozy place to go. The staff is so freindly and accomodating. The owners come out and talk to you and you actually feel like you are having dinner at their house. We made reservations there for dinner before going to Helium Comedy Club one night and we have been back twice since. I recommend the grilled mushroom or calamari appetizers. If you like seafood you will love the tilapia or seared scallops. If you prefer pasta, the rustica with a side of sauteed spinach will definitely have you coming back again.

    While in Philadelphia on a business trip my husband and I went into Porcini's Restaurant. The food, service and hospitality of the staff and owners is absolutely amazing! Everything was perfectly cooked and flavored for a truly mouth watering experience! I have never wanted a meal to last forever as much as I did this one. We both found ourselves savoring the taste long after the food passed through our mouths.
    The owners (two brothers) make you feel like family, taking the time out of the kitchen to visit with you and have real conversations. The personability of the staff and owners, taste of the food and reasonable prices makes this a restaurant one we would make a special trip to Philadelphia for! This food made me remember what good home made Italian cooking really is! No more chain Italian restaurants for us! It is obvious why it made Zagat's 2008 Top Italian Restaurant list! If you are looking for an amazing restaurant with incredible home made food, reasonable prices, personality and old time friendliness - visit Porcini's in Philadelphia - it is in a class all its own!

    Cannot wait to go back!: This was an amazing experience - the food and service were exceptional. Although it is a very small place, it did not decrease the overall value of the restaurant.
