    Food was exceptional! Drinks were good. Our server was very good and attentive. Parking was an issue since we had an elderly person but we made it work. Will definitely be back.

    Usually Porcini’s is excellent but last night the Caesar salad was lettuce with some croutons hardly any dressing. Pasta with sausage was just fair.

    We had an amazing time and an amazing dinner! Sandy was so helpful… he made the best recommendations. The halibut special was perfectly cooked and had great flavor. The bucatini with seared scallops was the best I’ve ever had, and will definitely be ordering again. The shrimp pasta was huge and delicious. Lots of leftovers, because we took Sandy’s advice and ordered dessert! Banana cheesecake—- A+

    There are much better Italian places in Louisville. The food was very mid and the tiramisu was not very good. It was doused is chocolate sauce which ruined it.
