Thank you for the suggestions. I don't know a lot about classic cooking styles. I'm looking for pork dishes and, specifically, porchetta al forno. I think that is found all over Italy but originated in central Italy.

Probably best bet to find this in Little Italy in Baltimore as suggested by a PP. And yes, get the cannolis at Vaccaros after. |

| FILOMENA! It’s a Time Machine to 1992. I have no idea if the food is authentically Italian or good by OP’s standards. But the whole place is such a trip. I have a good time. |

| i Ricchi? It’s Tuscan. I don’t know if it what you would consider classic, but I think it’s pretty good. They do have at least one or two pork dishes. |

| Sfoglina is amazing but I would consider it upscale, modern Italian, not “traditional” red-sauce Italian. |

Tosca was the first place I thought of! |
