Our friends held their wedding reception at Porreca's. Our meals were from the regular menu, but you would have thought they were gourmet specialties of a master chef! Every person at our table raved about the food, and we all had different entree choices. I don't usually eat fish at a restaurant, but my husband and I both had the... more

With so many choices, and many very good choices, this restaurant should be put at the very bottom of your list, if at all. My friend and I went there on Tuesday, July 21st for dinner. We both ordered the Chicen Parm. That's what we got. The only thing that is included with the meat and pasta is a plate... more

Highly recommended. Wonderful food with some imaginative creations. Ravioli stuffed with a sweet pea puree, tortellini with cheeses and wild musroom ragout and fish puttanesca with hand made pasta were all excellent as were the vodka martinis and home made cherry pie. Portions were not enormous but were certainly adequate for normal diners. Prices were in line for a resort... more

We dined there with our three small children at what would be based on initial appearance not to be a kid friendly Italian restaurant. Nonetheless, nothing but positives came out of our experience. We dined on the patio, partly because the weather was so nice and partly because we didn't want to bother others in case the kids started to... more

My family and I have been vacationing in Lake George for a week each summer for the past ten years. While Lake George is known for its great family atmosphere and activities like The Great Escape, the choice of good restaurants is limited. One restaurant that we have found to be consistently very good is Porreca's. It is a small,... more

Last week when dined at porreca’s and everything was lovely. The location is just north of Lake George village and it was sure worth the visit. My husband had the rack of lamb special which was delightful. I could not make up my mind so I chose three small courses instead of the traditional appetizer and entrée. The service was... more

Within walking distance of the village. Nice looking place inside. We had breakfast. Excellent pancakes and coffee. Home fries were "gross" to quote my wife. Service was pretty quick and friendly. Would eat there again. more

After reading all the great reviews this restaurant received we made sure it was our first stop when we got to Lake George. We should have kept driving. The only good thing we had was the bread and butter. We were six people and only got a few pieces of bread. I think we each had one piece which was... more

I'm a big fan of this restaurant. I've also had the experience of looking for tasty, creative food while in the Lake George area and have struck out several times. As a Foody and as a Brooklynite (where food is good and we know how to eat it) I couldn't think of a bad thing to say about Porreca's. The... more

We were disappointed in the small menu selection and small portions. I ordered the beef short ribs in pasta and there was barely any filling, and way too much dough. We wouldnt go back. more
