My husband and I tried the Chicken Marsala on our first visit and thought it was the best we'd had in twenty years. The next time it was only average. The first time we had the Fettucine Alfredo it was fair, the second time it was fabulous. The pasta carbonara was really good the first time and AMAZING!!! the second time. The wait staff is also inconsistent, sometimes GREAT and sometimes just fair. All in all, they're always satisfactory and often sensational. It's worth eating there on the chance that it will be one of the sensational days!!~ Pros: Gluten-Free Pasta Cons: two different chefs means the food is inconsistent

Porcelli's puts together some awesome sandwiches..BLTs, Tuna Salad, and a Club that is one of my favorites just to name a few. I've only dined here for lunch and breakfast therefore cannot comment on the dinner menu although I would be very surprised if I were disappointed. My office is a short distance away so very convenient for a quick lunch get away. I've always found the Porcelli's team cordial and prompt and the quality of food has yet to disappoint me. Prices are very reasonable too. I'm looking forward to dropping in for dinner sometime! Pros: Club sandwich; great staff; quaint atmosphere Cons: I have none!

Unmemorable, bland, and processed, the food at Porcelli's gives grocery store Italian food a bad name. You'd be better off buying a jar of Newman's own and some vacuum sealed gnocchi from WinCo for 6 dollars than getting milked for $60 plus dollars for what is the WORST Italian restaurant in Portland. Pros: convenient John's Landing location Cons: food, service, presentation

I have very high standards when it comes to Italian food, and Porcelli's met every one of them! My husband and I tried it simply because it was close, and have returned because we love it! It is my new favorite place to eat! Each time we went, there were very few people in the restaurant, there was no wait, we got to choose our own table, the chef came to discuss meal choices with us, and more. The happy hour prices are great for both food and drinks, which is not true of many places in Portland. The drinks are strong and delicious, and the house-made Limoncello is great! The bruschetta, which is very affordable, especially at happy hour, is absolutely delicious. I highly recommend the lobster ravioli! I also had another delicious dish that I can't remember the name of, something along the lines of chicken sauteed with pancetta. Delicious! The staff is always so helpful and attentive, they are very friendly and stop by to see if there's anything you need frequently. The restaurant is quiet and the tables are well-spaced out so that you are not disturbed by other diners if you want a private chat. The only downside to the place is that it's a little expensive for my price range, but then, most places are these days! I absolutely love Porcelli's and would go there on a weekly basis if I could afford it! I strongly urge you to give it a try! Pros: Amazing food, attentive staff, delicious drinks, & more! Cons: I can't afford to go every day!

This place is tucked away in the Johns Landing neighborhood, and from the outside it looks like the convenience store it used to be. On the inside it is quite nice looking. The food was simple italian fare, with rice pasta available for those desiring gluten free options. The wines were mediocre; the service was very slow. It's a cute neighborhood place, but not a place to bring people you want to impress. Pros: Have a gluten free pasta option Cons: Very slow service, mediocre wines

This place RAWKS~ I tried this place coz I wanted to check out their happy hour menu last week, and tomorrow night I'm going there for DINNER! They have like one of the best happy hour offerings in town (a lot of restaurants/bars in portland serve pretty much the same stuff in their happy hour)! Their daily happy hour (uh-huh yeah, DAILY!!) includes PIZZA! Tasty toppings (i had salami, pepperoni and mushrooms) and creamy, soft breadlike dough..delish steamed clams with a wine/garlic/butter sauce with bread for dipping...ohhhduuuuude... let me just say it was hard for me to hold up my end of the conversation with my boyfriend coz I kept getting distracted by the food and stopping to say, 'Damn! MMMMMM!' ..yeah, like that. Anyway, i was about to say if they put that much care/effort/quality into just their happy hour menu, i'm looking forward to having dinner there! Pros: Food, House lemoncello, DAILY happy hour Cons: ...uh....? can't think of any

Porcelli's was open today. The chef was a one-man show, but still delivered food to patrons' tables. The calzones are EXCELLENT! Thanks for being open today. We really appreciate it!

this may not be the most hip and popular place in town but that is ok with me. the food is an exceptional value and the service is great. we have eaten here a number of times (breakfasts and dinners) and really love it. we even had our wedding rehearsal dinner here and after i gave them my "final" headcount they were so understanding when we had more people come than anticipated. they made all of our guests feel welcome and made sure that they were all well fed. if you want to eat great food at a great price from some really great people then this is the place. johnny, steve and the crew are really cool. Pros: food food food Cons: not a place to "be seen"
