“ Excellent food fast friendly service bravo. Try them you won’t be disappointed ”
“ Can you die and go to Heaven, but still be sitting in your kitchen eating the best Burrata with fresh basil and amazing Prosciutto, sitting on top of farm fresh tomatoes and topped with REAL Italian Olive oil and Balsamico. And on the side of that fresh made Soppressata and Manchego cheese? And that’s only the appetizer... next homemade marinara sauce and meatballs!! Thanks Rob for all the great food and tips!!! ”
“ My cousin, sister, and I stopped in to try the place, and the food was phenomenal! We enjoyed the environment and service. I highly recommend! We even grabbed some of their home made raviolis and some sauce for dinner later on and it was delicious! ”
“ This is hands down the best Italian Delicatessen in all of Mercer County if not the surrounding areas. They carry everything from Italian oils and balsamic vinaigrette to the best imported Italian desserts. They have a wonderful assortment of various frozen pastas and daily homemade prepared dishes to grab and go. My favorite it the delicious cappuccinos and espressos. The business is always clean and the owners are amazing people. I go on a regular basis and if you're in the area, I highly recommend going to see for yourselves. If you like my reviews please follow me and give me a thumbs up to receive more of my recommended restaurants and places to go. Cheers... ”

Oh I almost forgot I picked up some cannoli and those were chefs kiss too! I will order again next bbq or get together! Plus the staff is so friendly ! ”
“ All the Italian specialties that you need and want. Staff is super friendly, and helpful. They make you feel like Family. I guarantee you will find something in this place, even if you were just looking. Been going here since it was in The Burg! ”
“ Great Italian food and sauce. Potato salad is also amazing. Just like being in the Burg back in the day. ”
“ Have only been here twice, but both times were very pleasant shopping experiences. The team there were quite helpful and a pleasure to deal with. Delighted that we were able to find Squid Ink Pasta there! If you don't see something you want, just ask, as they will be eager to oblige. There are other Italian markets in the area, but so far we've really liked dealing with Porfirio's and find their pricing to be a little better than at the other markets. Not as expansive or nicely laid out as some of the other markets, but they have the quality products we want and are nice to deal with, which puts them high on our list for a re-visit. ”
