| - So after having come from basically not being served anything at all at the new Porch location, we went to Fiori's and got the basics. Half Italian hoagie, Italian salad, 8 cut pepperoni pizza, and I got my glass of Pinot Noir (finally! -- see review of The Porch at Siena.) Since you order at the counter at Fiori's, there was no wait, and there were a few tables open so we could eat in. We ordered, paid, sat, and drinks were delivered within seconds, salad was delivered in 5 minutes, then the hoagie and pizza followed. I was given a HUGE pour on my wine, and was also given the last of the bottle at no extra charge -- basically I got the equivalent of two glasses. The only reason they're a 4/5 for me is because they're a little bit too cheesy for me on all dishes, and the ravioli I had on a previous occasion was basically swimming in "marinara." (As an Italian girl, that pasta sauce offended me, but the raviolis themselves were REALLY good.) The crust of the pizza, though, is almost perfect. And the salad minus the copious amount of pizza cheese is simple and good. Hoagie was toasted well, and the bread did not just disintegrate when you bit into it. Not over-dressed, not over-stuffed. Nice.
