Porcaloca In Torino

05/04/2026: I'll start by saying I've dined there several times and thoroughly enjoyed both the pizza and the food. So I decided to bring my family to Easter lunch. Unfortunately, aside from the appetizers, which I think are good—though I wouldn't have served them all in one dish, given it was a holiday—the zucchini risotto wasn't very good, let's say a small taste, overcooked, unsalted, and basically tasteless. The lasagna, again a small portion, was quite good. I have to be honest, the waiters later asked if anyone would like a second helping of lasagna. The second course, however, turned out to be awful. It was supposed to be suckling pig, so a succulent main course accompanied by baked potatoes, but instead it was three small pieces of roast pork—I'm guessing loin or round—very dry, difficult to cut and eat. Many pieces were left on the plates of other tables, too. Very disappointed with the meal, I mentioned it to the owner at the cashier, especially since I've always had succulent steaks and burgers there. It seemed like a different chef had cooked for me. And instead of apologizing, as is common business practice, he replied that everyone had complimented him, and turning to the woman behind me at the cashier, he asked if everything had gone well, just to make me understand that I was in the wrong. He must have thought I wanted a discount! Many people, if they're not happy, don't say anything and then stop coming back. I used to do the same, but I'm fed up and want to tell things as they are, for better or for worse, honestly. We asked for a small glass of grappa to add to our coffees, which wasn't on the menu, and it was free. That's not to say it's a place to avoid, because, as I said, I've always eaten well, but today I expected a menu worthy of the place and a very different attitude from the owner at the cashier.

28/03/2026: I recently went to dinner at this restaurant for the first time, and my grown children and I were pleasantly surprised by the pizzas, seafood entrees, fried fish, and even the desserts. The restaurant is beautiful and spacious, the parking is convenient, the waiters and owners are friendly, and the prices are reasonable. Highly recommended!
