TOP RESTAURANT IN PORI

TRATTORIA BUCCO (and winebar VINOTECA)
Hallituskatu 22, phone +358-2-622 6185. Recently chosen as the 16th best restaurant in Finland (by Viisi Tähteä). Great but they should be even higher on the list. Excellent restaurant.

TV & Movie person Timo Koivusalo's & TV Chef Jani Lehtinen's Italian style restaurant. Locates near Kokemäenjoki river. They nowadays also have a 2500 bottle wine cellar with 150 different wines. Their own brand is Italian wine Rosso di Bucco. The most expensive wine is Vega Sicilia Unico and it costs 395 euro's a bottle. They also organize wine tastings. Recommended by me.
