Fun restaurant in the heart of Florence Jun 28, 2008

Great food. Great service. Franco, who is apparently a manager, is hilarious. Other waiter knowledgeable about wine. Very U.S. friendly. Almost all patrons that night were from U.S. Franco included a lone diner, Lainie, with our groups. We attempted to dine outside, but it was too windy. Great wine list. We had Marchese Chianti Classico Riserva 2003. Deb had incredible white truffle sauce ravioli, salad with corn, and a pecorino platter. Debbie had ribollita bread/tomato/basil soup that she loved), pasta, and tiramisu. Mike had tripe in red sauce, cappelletti stuffed with artichoke hearts and parmesan, and salad. Franco brought limoncello and grappa “on the house.” We went back for lunch two days later and had pizza.

It's great to hear that Franco is still running Porcospino! I studied in Florence in 2004 for 5 months and I was a regular there. Some of my best memories were at Porcospino- and I miss Franco very dearly. Hopefully, I will make it back soon!

It's located behind the cathedral on via San Lorenzo and both the food and service are truly excellent. You even get a little entertainment thrown in on the side. In yesterday's notes, I said that we were… Florence, beginning to play some
