Porchetta @ NYC

So since having Roli Roti in SF I've been craving the same porcetta sandwich, so when I saw that NYC has Porchetta, which serves the same sandwich in a similar fashion I was sold. The store is uber small, it seats about 5 people along the counter. At first glance it didn't look like what I wanted, the chunks of pork weren't spinning around in its spit, rather those that were finished were just chilling in the warming oven. Regardless, gave it a try. Definitely not the same as Roli Roti. The bread was too chewy, the pork wasn't flavored as well, there wasn't caramelized onions, and yummy seasoned salt. It was different! Then the pork skins weren't crispy enough - it's like it sat in its own oils for too long and it became chewy. We had to pay extra for a side of potatoes, and then not the same as well. Too burnt, too crispy and not fingerling potatoes. Overall - so-so, not impressed. No repeat for this foodie here. East Coasters, come to SF and have some roli roti, it will change you, you will have a new experience...hmmm drooling slightly.
