Residents in the northwest end of the city may not have to venture very far to taste some authentic Italian food.
Porcino opened its doors on Hyde Park Road just a couple of weeks ago and business owners Gino Parco and Dave Todesco are already serving up a storm. They ran a restaurant in Windsor by the same name, but decided to come and explore the market in London.
“We were looking for a change and we thought of London,” Parco says. “It’s not too far from Windsor. We wanted to do something basic and authentic. High quality, but casual.”
