From opening day in 1996, Il Porcellino (pronounced Por-chel-eeno, Italian for little piglet) has been cooking home style southern Italian cuisine, prepared to order in view of all patrons. The reputation of this “Hidden Gem” continues to grow today, as customers are treated more like family members. Ask anyone that frequents Il Porcellino “The Little Pig” and they will surely tell you that the Tucci family knows everyone by name.

We take great pride in creating mouth watering meals using only the highest quality local and imported ingredients. We take the same care in treating every guest like a member of our own family, all while making sure that no one leaves with an empty stomach.

“I would like to thank all the staff of Il Porcellino in making my Birthday dinner one I will never forget. My mother who is a true Italian Nonna really liked the dinner.
