Detailed Instructions: You are given a review about a place. You need to provide a rating from "1 star" to "5 stars" for this place.
Problem:Took a couple of friends there recently. It was a weekend afternoon so we didn't face what I hear is the usual crush of people.

PROs:
- One of my friends was visiting from Italy and tells me that the pizza at The Porch is the closest he's had to northern Italian pizza EVER in the US. I guess that's a good thing if you're looking for authentic Italian pizza. I enjoyed the pizza; thin, crispy crust and NOT overloaded with toppings.
- The sandwich and salad I had was fresh and crisp.
- The service was okay; friendly and prompt but the server did disappear and not check back after we had our entrees.

CONs:
- Out of several menu items on both visits, but that could be cost of serving fresh food.

I'll be back. It's good to have a comfortable place like The Porch so close by.
Solution:
3 stars
