Critic Reviews

New York Magazine star star star star 10/05/08

Sara Jenkins is a great cook with the keen insight to keep things simple and hyperspecialized. This narrow focus and attention to detail sets Porchetta apart, and easily earns it four stars. - Robin Raisfeld and Rob Patronite

Village Voice 09/22/08

This is simply a heads-up that this is a very, very fine sandwich, and there may be a line around the corner once the word gets out, so you may want to stop by soon. - Sarah DiGregorio

Time Out New York  

Chef-owner Sara Jenkins (I Coppi) stuffs the namesake swine dish - roast pig and cracklins - into sandwiches at this East Village eatery....

The New York Times 10/29/08

This is a small sandwich for $9, but the pork is so extravagant, it’s just big enough. - Betsy Andrews

the pork roast is absolutely delicious. i wish i could get a bag of the super crunchy skin. sandwiches are $9 and platter (no bread) w/beans and cooking greens will run you $12.

No real seating to speak of. But pork sandwich was outstanding. I Will return soon..
