Reviews of Il Porcellino Italian Restaurant And Catering (Catering)

Leanne Rock

This past weekend my bridal shower was hosted at Il Porcellino. The restaurant was extremely accommodating and was able to meet all of our needs. The food was absolutely AMAZING!! A family run business that puts a lot of pride and love into their work. Highly recommended! I cannot wait until I have another event that needs catered.

Brendan Crowther

Il Porcelain catered my family party to perfection! Planning the meal was an easy process and helped to inspire the whole party. The food was delivered promptly and, better yet, with utter charm. The food itself was absolutely divine. The portions were generous and even my Italian Nonna was thoroughly impressed by the flavour and quality. The veal was flavourful and absolutely tender, and the pasta and vegetables were made to the perfect texture. All you need for a good party is amazing food and excellent company; and this party was a hit!

Great freshly made food. Nice atmosphere. A little pricey for lunch.

Yvonne Posavec

Had the pleasure of attending a family function at this hidden gem run by a beautiful family. Each course was a melody of flavours all fresh and made and served with loving hands. I highly recommend Il Porcellino for any event you may be planning... I know i most certainly will.

Evan Ezewski

Fantastic home-style Italian food. Onwers are friendly and everything on the menu is excellent (even basic things like the bread and spicy olive oil are just perfect). Treat yourself to a cappuccino and an almond cookie.

lamest veal sandwich ive ever had

Lynda Verlezza

We called on the Tuesday for a 'Celebration of Life' for the coming Saturday and they were able to help us. It was short notice and just before Christmas! We had a hot lunch for 80 people. It was all delivered hot and on time. The meal was delicious and there was lots of food. Everyone loved it. I would highly recommend Il Porcellino for any function! We wish they had a restaurant that was open for dinner!

Michael Mc

Very friendly owner. A little pushy with sales but I appreciated his openness. Prices high compared to La Parmigiana in the same area.

Really good Italian food.

Ardian Cipi

I used their office catering service and I cannot say enough great words about the quality of food and the service Everything was five star plus. I found this place online I googled them and here I am right now writing the next excellent review about them. I have been to a little Excellent restaurant in the countryside in Italy in the Ascoli Piceno area, in 2010 when we visited Italy. In the Marche province. Il Porcellino brings the same memories to me now. I don't know how I could not find it earlier, I have been here now for almost 22 years. But better late than never. Thanks again my friends at Ill Porcellino

Amazing Italian food. Friendly family-owned restaurant. Best in Mississauga!

Kamran Khaleeli

Don't let the commercial business park surroundings fool you. This place feels like home. I was looking for a restaurant with a great vibe, good food, and service with a smile. This warm welcoming eatery delivered on all levels. And some familiar Italian music made it that much more authentic. One quirk about the restaurant: There is a tall cabinet filled with piglet ornaments. The symbolism here is not that they specialize in pork, but that you are encouraged to eat to your hearts content("eat like a pig") which I found to be quite endearing. The ornaments have been collected from customers, local and abroad over the years who have remembered Il Porcellino on their travels. There is something for everyone. And don't forget to cap your meal off with a shot of espresso or various other delicious options.

Marios Kimonos

We just had our wedding dinner reception at this restaurant, and everything was fantastic! During the planning stage, Fiorina (the event manager) was attentive to our planning and quick to respond to all of our emails. When we arrived on the day of, everything was set up the way we discussed, and the food, which tastes delicious, came out all in order very much on time. Most importantly, all staff was so friendly and kind to our guests. All of our guests said that they had a fabulous time. The prices for the course menus and the open bar selections are very reasonable. The whole restaurant is booked for just your event all day. I would highly recommend this place to anybody who wants to have an amazing time on their special day!!!

This wonderful restaurant run by an entire family of mom, dad and their three children has been our' go to ' for 20 plus years. Dinner when hubby and I first dated, for our wedding, on the passing of my father in law, my 65th birthday and numerous other social occasions. Food is always awesome, service exemplary,details well defined in advance with regular communications with catering manager. Have regularly done 50 to 65 persons and all go home with full tummies and full of compliments.

Paula Dukhan

This is one of the best homemade Italian restaurants in Mississauga! If you want a true Italian lunch experience, I urge you to visit Il Porcellino!

Carole Nantel

We attended Lesley and Ken's wedding yesterday. The restaurant was very beautiful. The staff was amazing and friendly. The food was very, very delicious. We will have to go back to the restaurant again soon. Thanks for everything it was wonderful.

Jyotkaran Gill

I had their Alfredo ravioli pasta and it was probably the best I have had. The pasta had great blend of flavors, was fresh, and cooked just right. They cook all their food fresh so plan atleast an hour. It's a family restaurant and their customer service is exceptional. It's a must go for any human! And try their spicy oil with bread, you wont regret it ????

Natalie Kloczko

Hired as catering for my wedding, such amazing food, the portion sizes were great, received so many compliments for the veal, the roasted chicken and their desserts! Would definitely recommend, great service, great family business!

Robert Velasco Tardecilla

Was not satisfied for italian restaurant

***

So I went to eat at the restaurant and when I walked in I was looking for a take out but the owner offerd to stay in and dine so I can enjoy it better. And let me tell you I felt like I’m in Italy and the food is super super good and quality. You can tell it’s from the heart. They also accommodate a huge party for any event you may have. I sure booked mine after I ate there. To anyone looking for authentic Italian food please try them out. It’s a hidden gem I tell you. Carmello is a star and I am so happy I found a quality food place for a very quality price. If 10 starts was available I would give that. And forgot to mention how super clean they are.

Corrine Sbrocchi

Excellent food & great service. Definitely will be back!

Peter Woo

I ordered the ravioli in Alfredo sauce this week and I cannot tell you how delicious it was! I could drink that sauce. My husband had the veal sandwich and he devoured it. I also ordered some frozen ravioli for later in the week to make when in a pinch. It was delicious. Thank you Il Porcellino! We’ll be back soon!

The owners make you feel home. Amazing food, clean just perfect

Rod Perry

We moved our office into this area six months ago and stumbled on this little, family run restaurant. I eat there every couple of weeks and the food, service and atmosphere is always great. We even had them cater our company Christmas party - the owner personally delivered the food. We received nothing but compliments. From a selfish standpoint, I hope this little gem remains unknown because I fear that I will not get a seat the next time I go for lunch :-)

Tom Prell

Great food and atmosphere

Carla Basso

Il Porcellino is a great place to order freshly made pastas, beautiful charcuterie, tasty appetizers, bespoke desserts, and so on. The place is loud and lively. Everytime we visit, we feel like we've stepped into one of the city's best. We really love this place. The best thing about it, is that it's so unexpected. Be sure to call and reserve your table. They are hopping, busy and popular.

Marc Carreiro

We had visited Il Porcellino prior to deciding that this was the place we would order from for our civil ceremony. It's a family owned/run restaurant that puts love into their food. The family was so friendly and personable. The food was fantastic. Based on our experience we decided that Il Porcellino would cater our civil ceremony. They delivered to us which saved us so much time. They prepared the antipasto, the main course and even various cookies and desserts. Our guest raved about how everything tasted and looked. I highly recommend this restaurant to cater any event and I highly recommend visiting their restaurant with your family. The prices are super reasonable for the amount of food you get, but more importantly, the quality of food you get. 5 stars and 2 thumbs up!!!

Steve Barrett

Great food. Everything is made fresh and he even grows his own peppers in the windows. Can't beat the friendly atmosphere and very reasonable prices.

nelly takechand

We had a 50th Birthday Celebration last Saturday and it was exceptional.

Carol Haddon

We came across this restaurant completely by chance and were more than pleasantly surprised! The quality of food...the family owned atmosphere was amazing! The owner circulates among his customers and takes an interest in his patrons. The quality of food and the price point were spot on! Would highly recommend a detour if you are not actually driving by...worth going out of your way for!!!

Tom

Awesome food, especially the pastas.

jesse galic

I Cry every time I eat here.The food is too good. It won best Italian food in mississauga but should be best food in Canada... When you see Italians eating there food and saying it's the best well that's all you need to know

Lillian Pham

My BF and I have been coming here for 7 years, and Il Porcellino never disappoints! The food is amazing, everything from their homemade spicy oil and bread, salads, pastas and desserts! Even better that the food is the family that owns and runs the restaurant. Everyone is lovely, kind, and make you feel like at home! Don't hesitate to visit Il Porcellino, you won't regret it.

Lutchi San Pedro

I am so happy to have found this gem of a restaurant in Mississauga for my daughter-in-law’s baby shower. We were very pleased with the food, service and dining experience. My relatives and I enjoyed each course – fresh, authentic and flavourful. We will definitely go back. Fiorina is professional and a pleasure to deal with before and during the event. The whole family and staff were hospitable – they even helped us carry our decorations from the car. Thank you so much!! Our celebration was made extra special by your delicious food and lovely service.

Great italian homemade food. Their spaghetti and meatballs is amazing.

Catalin Leja

Great food , prices , people and clean and quick...if only every restaurant could follow in their steps

GENCAY TOPKAYA

This restaurant is the best Italian restaurant in GTA. Family own small place but everything they serve homemade authentic. Too bad they only open during launch time. Highly recommended.

Alex Calabria

Il Porcellino hosted my daughter's welcome ceremony recently, and my husband and I have only positive things to say. Everything, from decor, to food, to service, was fabulous. We performed a ceremony at the restaurant, which is obviously above and beyond what they usually offer, and they catered to our every need. The ceremony table, bomboniere table and layout of the dinner tables was perfect. The use of their microphone system was extremely helpful. After the ceremony ended, the staff were quick to make sure everyone was comfortable and had everything they needed. We had several guests with special dietary needs and they were very accommodating. Everyone left our party satisfied and extremely full. The portion sizes were huge! The food was delicious! We highly recommend this restaurant for any function.

matt carriere

A picture says a thousand words But one thing it can’t tell you is how incredible the service is. They make you feel like part of the family the moment you walk in the door. I can’t say enough great things about this establishment

Prableen Dhot

Food was okay, if you're looking for tiramisu they don't have it. They can cannolis and they were absolutely delicious.

Janine Boynton

The food was great, good selection to provide three days of catering lunch to office staff, Sales people and VP's it had to be different each day, the staff was fantastic and the pricing reasonable. Even with a last minute change they were able to accommodate this. They also took food allergies very seriously as well, which was extremely important as they are life threatening to some staff.

Rich Conner

This place was good I’ve had better but it was not that great

Liz Aguiar

Just returned from lunch from this wonderful family owned restaurant. Everything is made fresh and to order. Food was absolutely delicious; the service and atmosphere made this a truly authentic Italian experience. We were informed that a new Pizza oven has arrived and will be up and running soon. We will be back! I fell in love with these two pigs in the corner table. ????
