I'm a huge fan of fat - you will see me picking off my dining companion's plates the fat that they have trimmed off their steaks - so I really liked Porchetta & Co. because there was an abundance of flavourful fat in the meat. I thoroughly enjoyed my porchetta plate with a side of baked romano beans ($10.12 after tax), but I can see how people who typically trim the fat off their steak would not enjoy it as much.
The pork itself was nicely seasoned and not overly salty. The beans had ever so slight a kick and were nicely complemented by the crispy pieces of pork skin sprinkled on tip. In fact, those crispy pork skins were my favourite part of the meal. Is that what a pork rind that didn't come out of a package tastes like??
I think the best way to go into Porchetta & Co. is with no expectations. If you go in with high expectations after hearing so many people rave about it, then you may be disappointed that this sandwich is just a sandwich. I think the selling point for Porchetta & Co. is that there aren't any other places like this in Toronto, so I would definitely still recommend for people to try it out.
Note there is not much seating in the place, just two bars with three stools each.
