| - They focus on one thing and they do it very well, and this is a resto intended for people who understand what porchetta is. If you're a walk-in who hasn't heard of them, you may be put off by the singular focus of this joint, but the chances are you'll become a convert when you taste the slow-roasted, succulent herbed pig. I'm a regular for their porchetta sandwich, or sometimes the porchetta plate with rapini, as the pleasing bitterness of the veg contracts wonderfully with the meat.
Sometimes they've been known to pre-slice the pork and fill your order by taking the pieces from an aluminum tray in the warmer. I prefer it when they cut the porchetta in front of me, with their electric carving knife, but I don't accuse them of leaving the pre-cut meat around for very long, so it doesn't dry out much. At least, that's been my experience.
After talking up the heavy focus on porchetta, I should add that their soups are fantastic - usually very heart and flavourful, best enjoyed on a cold winter day.
