question:
Light and well decorated restaurant. I guess they assume you'll do the buffet for a Sunday brunch because there were very few options for breakfast on the main menu. Good bloody Mary and the French dip was tasty. Tasted much like a steak and cheese because they put provolone on it however the au jus was spot on. The side salad was a bit lacking.
answer:
3 stars

question:
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.

question:
It's been along time since I had a meal at Piero's, but when I think Osso Bucco - I think Piero's. Their's is where the bar has been set and rarely met....

Fantastic vibe, fantastic atmosphere... gotta love the charm! And, gotta love that this is one of the key backdrops used in the film "Casino".
answer:
5 stars
