Porcello Cantina has changed from its initial counter-style casual, to casual sit-down restaurant - and I think it's for the better.
Overall, it's still really solid. The best thing about this place is that they are trying to do their own, modern thing in Woodbridge. It's not a family style Italian restaurant, it's not some generic chain place. It's a place in an otherwise non-descript parking lot where you can come get a drink and some decent food in a nicely decorated, welcoming restaurant. It brings some much needed style to the food scene in Woodbridge which, save for exceptions like Ciao Roma, is staid and boring. While we were there, some older gentleman came in and had an espresso at the bar, another family came in and got a takeout salad, while we had cocktails and pizza. It's that kind of place.
I still think the food could be slightly better. It's not bad at all! I just wish it were amazing rather than merely good. But that's nitpicking because I want this place to survive and thrive. Woodbridge is better for having it around.
