A.

Amazing Italian food and great service. A definite must visit. 10/10

f. b.

Always went to Henderson branch as it was closer to our house. Went to Parnell branch and the food and customer service is amazing as always .had porterhouse well done. Perfectly cooked .peppercorn sauce just amazing. Portion size is also great. Worth the money. Thank you Laporchetta. 😊

B. F.

Really great service, cool and clean restaurant & the food was delicious

R. P.

Visited for dinner on 11/6/21. My friend and I had a great dinner here. Food was yum especially the cheesy garlic bread, service good and drinks nice. 😁👍

A.

Great good as always. They adhered to covid protocols limiting seating capacity. Called and asked if booking was required and they advised it is better so a table is available when we arrive due to limited capacity.

A.

If I could give more stars ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I totally would! Came here for a last minute birthday dinner outing was craving the steak, mushroom sauce chips and salad! They did not disappoint food was cooked to perfection absolutely delicious🤤🤤 even the mocktails were yummy. And customer service here was awesome waiters and staff super friendly and happy looks like they love their job. Highly recommend this place thank you for the yummy food and excellent customer service👌

K. D.

Best BYO wine and good service place. Always the staffs are kind and never push to order. And delicious, good price food as well ;)

C.

Solid restaurant, not amazing but you'll get a decent sized meal and nice food. Great for families.

R.

Awesome service. They were so friendly. The food was great too and quite large portions. I really liked their milkshake and their tiramisu as well. Although, I did find a hair in the pizza. They were very professional and offered several options to make up for it. Still would go back for the great service and great tasting food.

J. A.

Always great for me to have a meal at my all time favorite spot! Love friendly staff and the food had Tho Lot pizza and Fettuccine Carbonara was great awesome thumbs up!!!

C. W.

Food was yummy. Good service and clean venue. T-bone steak was cooked good. The squid was excellent, only thing was it didn't come with a sauce or anything we had to ask for aioli and it cost extra. Kids meals were good value, a few options available and comes with drink and ice cream for $15.

C.

Nice, kids menu: fish bite a bit dry unsalted. Other than that nice place , good vibe to have dinner with my family.

R. H.

Located in the heart of Parnell town centre easy to get to wether driving, busing or walking. I rung ahead and got a table. From the first time I went into the restaurant they followed level 2 restrictions carefully and were very pleasant. The food was yummy and quick to come out. I ordered the garlic and cheese pizza small, apple cider and Porter house steak medium rare with mashed potato, seasonal vegetables and vino bianco sauce. I highly recommend La Porchetta Parnell. Thank you La Porchetta one you have one happy customer happy to return soon.

E. a. D.

Good place for gathering or celebration. We came here for dinner and service was good although it was busy. However food was pretty average. Ordered one pizza and one pasta. The Lot pizza - comes with so many diff ingredients, anchovies, shrimps, ham, salami, bacon, pineapple, mushroom, capsicum and olives. But the base was so wet so I only ate the toppings. Meatball pasta - very normal pasta, normal sauce normal meatball. Wont order this again. Food: 🌕🌕🌕🌑🌑 Price: 🌕🌕🌕🌑🌑 Ambience: 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑 Service: 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑

금.

Over good BUT not great. All food we had were okay, Except seafood chowder. They used frozen seafood it made food seafoody but not really nice. I recommend you to have pizza which was good.

紐. V. i. N. Z.

DIY pizza for the kids birthday program, the best ever birthday party for the kids. The pizza is yum compare with most of others. The amazing service also you can order one pizza with two different flavors. I don’t think rest of pizza store can do that. VH

A.

Pizza choices are good service is good, got a meat lovers pizza and was nice just a bit oversalted

P. T.

Food and service are great. Parking is relatively easy on the street. Booth seating is fairly tight though, not enough leg room. Otherwise, everything is perfect.

L. G.

🍝 All the food is excellent!! I love lasagna with bolognese sauce. La Porchetta also has many other good options. The staff is very friendly. The place is nice, just most of the time it's noisy.

G. A.

TLDR: Great place for a team lunch, keeps everyone happy and at a reasonable price. Details: We had a team lunch here this week, needed something quick and easy. I booked online and they confirmed the next morning we were still a go. Food was alright, nothing amazing and has def dropped a bit since I was last here. One meal too way to long to come out. For most part they did a good job as it only looked like there was one chef on. Service a tad lacking but the guy did his best. My fav part was coming to pay. They seemed to have issues with their existing Eftpos setup so after a bit of fluffing about they finally got to the point of taking all our money, but it was a bit of fluff that could have not been thre had they setup their equipment prior to opening. All round a good place for teams or families wanting simple italian on a good price point.

Q. D.

We been there twice. 5 stars for customer services (waiting staffs are super helpful and friendly) and food portions are generous to fill up your empty stomachs.

M. S.

Beautiful friendly service makes the place so enjoying. Food was delicious made fresh and fast!! Will definetly return..

P.

Traditional Italian pizzas and meals. Must try their most famous Parnell pizza made with chili flakes base .

J.

Great Service. Had my daughter's 6th birthday dinner here tonight and it was top notch. Firstly the restaurant was so clean first thing you notice when u walk in. Toilets are also very. Food was well presented hot and tasty. The male waiter was super friendly and lovely to deal with so thanks to him for making our family dinner such a great experience.... Parking is off street and lucky for us we got one not far from the restaurant.

L. S.

The food is always fantastic and the service is even better, this is my favourite place to eat. The focaccia with cheese pizza, and the chips/wedges are cooked better here than anywhere else Also really nice to see how they're handling the red light settings, lots of air flow and fresh air, and plenty of spacing between tables so feels pretty low risk. The gnocchi pesto was the best it's ever been tonight

P. P.

Nice looking dish. Really good quality and a big portion. We were a group of 8 and they could’t manage to bring us the food hot... if i’m generous, it was slightly warm. May be I’ll try it again hopping to get my food hot.

d.

Customer service were really great, I forgot her name I think her name is Natasha best person ever.. food were beautiful

T. L. D.

Lovely dinner out. Staff were very good and food arrived timely even tho it was very busy with several large groups. Even though we didn't have a booking they were able to fit us in. Food was very nice and is affordable Italian. I would advise tho that when busy the restaurant can get very noisy. Something to consider if you are hard of hearing.

T. G. C.

Every Friday evening, the pizza is amazing! the waiters always attend us with a smile on their faces, I feel very good to go. 100% recommended 👍

P. O.

You can always be assured with La Porchetta. Reasonable prices, reasonable service and a good selection of pastas, steaks or pizzas.

I.

Nice pizza! They have a long menu with many different foods

K. G.

It's a family restaurant that serves affordable Italian food. The service was on point, very friendly, polite, and easy-going. Service from the staff is always all smiles. The only thing bringing this place down was the food - the pasta was overcooked; the bolognese sauce was too light to the point that one would think it was diluted; the chef could add more tomato to the mix, and a teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce to bring out the taste of a bolognese sauce. The saving grace of the food was that it had come out piping hot, as well as the well-made pizza.

C.

The service was great and people there are friendly and professional. My sea food platter was flat and far too sweet. The meatballs were delicious and what I needed. The pasta mushroom was Devine and worth the trip and money. Don't try the sea food platter will be a let down.

R. M.

We have been to La Porchetta Parnell since 2014. This restaurant is special. I don't know who the Chef is but he is one of the best in New Zealand. Great service, professional staff, cozy seats, great location, what is more? If you are intno Italian restaurant look no further this is the place you must go. Highly recommend especially when you have some guests to look after.

W.

Great service and affordable delicious italian cuisine. Prochetta pizza is must

M. W.

Good family restaurant. Food came quickly and there were plenty of options for fussy eaters. The only criticism was that there was an extra charge for the kids entertainment pack, and we weren't told that it was an option, despite having 3 kids with us. We possibly would have paid, but didn't know about it until we saw others getting it, and even if we did know, it was pricey.

S.

This place used to be quite good and cheap. But now the price has gone up quite a bit, I don't feel it's a good place to grab a quick bite anymore. Everything tastes a bit too salty.

M. G. D. L.

Wow! Came in on a whim just walking past, staff were amazing. They were so welcoming and helped us heaps with our order. Such a delight for dinner! Will be back

N. R.

My chicken parma was huge! Those mains are definitely worth the price and tasty too!

H.

Kids friendly restaurant, plenty of options and fair prices.

J.

The service was nice and friendly and helpful the food was great

#. L.

Had a really good meal after lock down :) ordered the entree size for the bolognese and fettuccine and was more than happy with it :)

W. S.

I relished the time there when we celebrated our staff Christmas party here last night. The service provided by Petra was tip-top with patience as 10 of us waited for each to arrive before we started ordering. The pasta dishes, mains and pizzas are excellent! All of us enjoyed our time very much.

J. H.

Pizza of the day was the gem! 3 star for Carbonara Fettuccine. Amazing service from the lady staff!!

K. N.

Went with a group of 4, shared two large pizzas, they were good and we were all happy with the quantity. Only quibble is there small pizzas are only a little bit cheaper than their large, so makes more sense to share. I don't think I'd go here by myself as it is quite pricey for a small pizza, you'd be better off going to the near by sal's pizza and getting a lunch deal which gives you a lot more

R.

Nice food, good for the kids

S. J.

Quick, tasty Italian food at reasonable price. Would go back.

N. A.

We used to be La Por regulars...came back today and were a little disappointed. Seemed like the pizza base had changed (for the worse). We got our usual Pollo e Funghi tortellini and the sauce is a little more watery and the chicken slightly more bland. Still can't beat La Por in the 'value for money' category.

D.

Always amazing food. We recently went for a birthday party and the staff all came around to sing happy birthday. Always been a favourite and will continue to be!

D.

Its exactly the same as when I was in University, except less crowded. The crowds are missing out.

A.

Good ambience.. Yet, no staff in there and missed one of our main meal waited over 20 minutes and later asked them that we've been waiting for mains which took another 20 minutes to get on the table. Other than that it's good.

Q.

Good food, nice and quite with a cool light display out the window. The staff where all really friendly. Enjoyed it

J. S.

The food was pretty good. Waited 30 minutes for 1 dessert. The staff are friendly though.

c.

Food was good but I was very impressed by their customer service. Every single staff that served us tonight was very friendly and most of all had smile on their face. Thanks for the great evening, my kids loved it too.

G. H.

Great food and service - I've been a local for 20 years and seen many changes of ownership at La Porchetta, but my family and I have never had a better Mediterranean style dining experience than right here last week. Sam was the perfect host, seeing to our every comfort, adjusting the air-conditioning, serving large portions really fast, and as soon as he realised it was my birthday brought out an ice-cream treat and serenaded me with his staff. The food was fabulous - tasty, al dente, and more than substantial. Meal done, he also offered takeaway boxes so nothing went to waste. Great experience, highly recommended!

A. S.

Best garlic bread ever had, Pizza can fail any other place,pasta was yumm

C. Q.

Excellent service and food. Highly recommended

M. S.

Very pleasant experience. best Italian in town I guess.

C.

Service and food was good, my wife took a nasty fall at the door on the way in. That ramp needs a rope or something to show it has a slight drop off, she was stepping aside for a mom and a small child on the way out. It was embarrassing and spoilt the evening. A bright beacon miraculously appeared after she fell.

A. E.

An amazing time at La Porchetta in Parnell tonight. Our waiter Samuel was wonderful and well noticed by all of at our table of 11, forgot to tip this fabulous gentleman, really well deserved after catering to our loud banter and demands. Food was great, table seating was great, nice atmosphere. Definitely top recommended. Thanks Samuel!

B. R.

I love it is so similar with Italy 🇮🇹 and staff is really nice

S. S.

Very nice pasta. Great pizza, crust was really nice. Very friendly staff. Enjoyed everything except the quantity of the wine, was supposed to be 150 ml. But I don’t really think it was right amount. Will try one more time.👍

C.

Food was absolutely delicious! So full of flavour. Our only complaint was the portion sizes of pasta were a little small

T.

7 of us came here for a casual family birthday dinner where everyone ordered a variety of meals from pastas, seafood platter, pizzas, steak & we were all pleased with our delicious meals. Reasonable prices & friendly staff, nice cosy cosy restaurant. Parking is "park n display" on roadside or a few minutes walk to a carpark area. 5th star not awarded as polite server forgot our drinks which we got just before our meals came out. Other than that, a great dinner :-)

A.

Very accommodating. Awesome service. Even got to sing a happy birthday while we were there lol

J.

Great place. Price was really reasonable. Ordered the pizza and spaghetti. They were way better than takeaway fast foods. Also staffs are really well trained and mannered. Best of all, they are kids friendly.

A.

steak meal is always perfect every time!

A. A.

It’s been always good and delicious food ,

S.

Came through lastnight for mum's bday and the food, service and staff are bloody awesome! Best la porchetta experience ever. Highly recommended and would defintely return here. Steve.

M.

We go to this place semi-regularly because it's family friendly (and our kid really likes it). It's not high end by any means but it's consistent.

E. I.

We ordered a super special pizza, it wasn't Italian style, we didn't like it that much, although it was cheap

d. l.

Lovely Italian place. Great variety of Pizzas and Pasta. Awesome Tiramisu 😊

R.

Thank you to the staff for being great with our family group whom came in to celebrate our boys 10th birthday. We were a group of 16 and appreciated the great food and service. Restaurants are hard to come by when it comes to catering to families with kids and you made our time there more than welcomed. Well worth the value for money. Keep it up! 👍🏽

J.

We've decided to try La porchetta again as it was on Zomato Gold and really enjoyed our meal. Had mushroom chicken pasta which had nice creamy flavour and original pizza. Would be back again!

R. Y.

Such a lovely authentic place. The gnocchi was amazing but the margarita had no oregano and tasted more like a really good cheese pizza. Still, great experience

P. H.

I had a well priced and solid Spaghetti Bolognese. Service was on point and the restaurant had a warm welcoming atmosphere. Seems like the perfect place to go and eat as a family or with friends. After looking at some of the pizzas on offer I did feel like I missed out :(

S.

Amazing pizza place!! Bit of shame I dont go to Parnell too much otherwise I would almost always. be chilling here

V.

Very authentic Italian food is available here. Staff are friendly and professional. This is the place where I found real taste of pizza with every option.

k.

Great meals. Can book up a table for a group so is perfect for a catch up for family dinner. Large pizza is perfect to share between a few people if needed. Or can get single meals. They also do take aways. And will package up your left overs.

Y.

good food and even better service. exceptional. will be eating here alot more !

g. v.

Always a great place to grab a pizza and many other delicacies

S. B.

Brilliant for take away or dining in. Staff are friendly and helpful and always seem very keen to ensure your meal is tasty. Impressively attentive staff considering how busy it gets often. Take out food is always ready to go on time and kept nice and hot. The pasta is ALWAYS my go-to especially the yum gnocchi either in creamy basil or mushroom sauce. Making adjustments to your order is no problem and I often get a little extra garlic. Love coming here!

M. G.

Really nice food, awesome staff.

G. G.

Service was on point, and the staff were very friendly and professional. The location is convenient and the restaurant is stylish and clean. Although the menu is pricey the food is absolutely amazing. I give it a 11 out of 10. Very nice spot to have dinner with friends ot family.

D. R.

Delicious pasta and a great variety of vegetarian dishes. Been there twice now and will definitely go back. Love the chilled atmosphere and the homely feel of the food. So good!

R. M.

Staff are very friendly and polite, food is always good here

N. C.

Absolutely lovely food very fast service low waiting time for food to come out will recommend to everyone

H.

Consistent food quality, lovely service.

A.

Great service and fantastic food. Not pricey. Highly recommended 👌

Y.

Fantastic service, most items are quiet pricey though but we'll worth it!

J. A.

I have been coming here for years, food has always been amazing good quality and affordable for families big or small. Unfortunately service and food has gone down and is not like how it use to be. I would still eat here but its just not the same.

D. P.

Great Italian place! Food was absolutely delicious. Friendly and helpful staff. Nice ambiance! Would go there again. Their vegetarian options are great too.

D.

This is a very nice Italian restaurant. It can be busy during Friday, Saturday and Sunday evenings. I highly recommend ordering the arancini balls (rice balls) as they are delicious and very filling. There pizza is also very nice. The setting contains some soft and casual booths that are nice.

Y. S.

Might I want to say the service received was exceptional. The only thing this place could improve is the food. A sauce on a dish we had was bland. But other than that, everything else was excellent.

L. l.

A great place if you feel like pasta and cheesy dishes. Awesome set up and customer service is emaculate. A+

T. H.

Lovely meal, fast and friendly staff. The place does get busy so delays for walkins can be expected during peak hours and larger groups can feel a bit cramped. Food was excellent though!

A. M.

Lovely place for a nice, Italian dinner. One of the best Italian food restaurants in Auckland in my opinion. Sometimes you’ll need to call and ask if there are any available tables for dinner before going - because sometimes people come in large groups and stay for a really long time but some other tikes you could just pop up and ask for a table!

M. C.

During our family's recent 2 weeks vacation in NZ North Island, we didn't come across that many Italian restaurants, especially ones that were reasonably priced. On the last day of our trip, we drove through Parnell, saw the restaurant and decided to eat there. The food was really good, especially the spicy pizza (see the pic) as recommended by the waiter. The pasta and risotto dishes we ordered were flavourful and portion-sizes were generous. They had a good dessert selection, but we were too stuffed to try. The waiter told us that La Porchetta is the largest Italian food chain in Australia & NZ. Will definitely look out for their restaurants in the future.

S.

The food is good, and so is the service, definitely a superb family diner.

Z. A.

My favourite Italian restaurant in Auckland. The pasta is always fresh and made to order. The service is great with friendly staff that have a good understanding of the menu. The drinks and pizzas are exquisite. My personal favourite dish is between the Fettuccini Pollo e Fughi and the Fettuccini Pollo e Avocado. I highly recommend La Porchetta to anyone looking for quality Italian food at a fair price.

M.

Standard La Porchetta fare which is a compliment. Pizzas arrived quickly and we were offered water and the usual accoutrements. Friendly service. Busy on a Sunday night says everything.

D.

Came here for a birthday dinner and was very impressed with the level of service we received. Our waiter Sam kept us informed and made sure there was always water at our table (which other restaurants rarely take note of) Will definitely be back as the food was great too!

B. L.

Were sitting down the back and could still feel the cold coming in from the door as it was an automatic door and everytime someone stood near it, it would open. Might be an idea to change the type of door, considering the line of people waiting to be seated was right to the door so it didn't stop opening the whole time we were there. As for the service, I asked for a bottle of water and it was taken to the wrong table so I had to go to the bar to ask for another one. Waited 45 minutes for food, but that wasn't too bad considering it was really busy. Chicken schnitzel was very moist and tasty great meal. Would prefer Hobson street was still open though.

J.

Yummy food, reasonable prices and great service. Staff were friendly, the menu had a good range and it was a family friendly restaurant which provided a high chair for our 2 year old and kids meal deal option for under 12

N.

Nice food. Nice waitress. Had to get a glass of red.

A.

Can always rely on a consitant quality of hearty food from this restaurant. Have been here from time to time over 30 years. Just allow a little bit of time for ordering as the place is usually fairly busy.

K.

Almost everyone is very friendly and food is always great but the asian guy who served us was just brilliant. He had great service mind and was very polite. Seemed like he was training a newbie and sure thing that hes a great example.

S. H.

Food is great, customer service is good. I've been going to the Parnell LA porchetta ever since I was working in the area in 2008.

M.

Great place, yummy food. Portions are not very big, so it's something to keep in mind for big eaters. I always try to stop here for lunch or dinner if I find myself in the area.

P. H.

Great cheap food ... Sometimes they ask you to hang on to your cutlery through different courses though, and food served warm. Waiter hadn't heard of ravioli. Fun place though.

H.

Great food. Can get quite busy as popular place. I found after an entree the main was to much for me. Got the left overs takeaway but they didnt last long at home as after walking off our full bellies hubby found room for them.

L. S.

Average food compared to other Italian restaurants in Auckland. The schnitzel was pretty good though. Not impressed with the pizza or spaghetti bolognese.

A.

Amazing and friendly service! Very attentive to your needs. Good food portion

T.

noisy but buoyant, service is a bit erratic, the food tastes fantastic always go for the larger portions. chase your drinks- they don't chase you

K. C.

Really busy, we couldn’t hear conversations between ourselves across the table because the restaurant was so full and the tables aren’t spaced apart enough. The food was okay and the waiter spilt two drinks so our group left earlier than expected and took a rain check on dessert.

K. L.

I used to love this place but it had a bad odor to it. Like a smelly rag. Mexicans pizza wasn't as good as before. It had more peppery flavour to it. Not sure if they changed their pepparoni?

T. N.

The staff are super friendly and offer to sing song for our birthday celebrations!! The pizza and pasta are cheap and generous with ingredients 😍😍😍 will definitely come again!

J.

Thoroughly enjoyed our experience here. Great food, excellent service, good option for large groups and families. My neice had a great birthday dinner and we appreciated the extra attention the children received.

L. T.

Service was a bit slow and the table had not been prepared well for our group that booked in advance. Food was fab but if it had arrived sooner I might have had time for dessert as well.

A. J.

Great food and great decor. Great vibes and the waitresses are very kind. Good place to take your next date or even catch up with your family. Pastas are amazing.

J.

We had a party here today - and it was FANTASTIC. The 7 year olds had the best time, it was interactive, fun and GREAT value for Money! Thank you Kate for your amazing organisational skills, the abundant toppings you provided and the cake was AMAZING. The adults all enjoyed their food, the presentation was great, the dishes were filling! The coffee was also excellent. Thank you!

M.

Excellent food and terrific service as always. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone who hasn't been there before :)

K.

Both well priced and delicious. Often cramped and crowded but there is a reason for that, they serve some of the best pasta in Auckland. Outdoing some of the far more expensive Italian restaurants in terms of food quality in my opinion.

M. M.

Loved it so much we going back next weekend. Great service. Very quick with the appetizers and the food was so taste. Really good prices for the portions and quality.

v. d.

Specially like to mention the staff’s name(Ash) who has always been friendly and with best customer service skills, and he always remember my name and my drinks order what a sharp memory I’ll say, love going there all the time, on top of that food had always been delicious never had an issue. Thanks guys keep up the great work. 😁

C.

Very well priced, delicious pasta (and other stuff)

T.

They might have reduced the amount of food now.Used to have big portion of food on massive plate. But Love the taste! Great service!

A.

Tasty, family friendly and good price for great quality food. My only struggle was finding a car park during peak meal times.

A.

Great food and value for money. Large portions. Staff did struggle a little bit with a full restaurant, but nothing to write home about.

T.

Came here using Zomato gold, for 3 meals and 2 coffees the price was surprisingly cheap at about $45. The food was also quite nice although the pizza was a bit doughy

I.

Their staff are amazing! Ash, Sam and Katie are all brilliant. They make you wanna go back time after time. Authentic Itallian food at reasonably affordable pricing.

E.

This pizzeria is a cosy place to have a great meal. The place is not that luxury, but the ambiance and great staff compensate totally. A great PRO is the choice between a small, middle and great pizza. Chapeau guys 🎩

A.

Very reasonable priced Italian/US diner fare. Staff are welcoming and friendly. Pizzas are top notch, but some pasta dishes can be disappointing.

A. J.

Went there for dinner tonight on a spur of the moment and was blown away by the place! The food was amazing, service was great, we got a table straight away and the prices were very reasonable. Will definitely go back for dinner again!

L.

First time there and we really enjoyed our meals. The service could do a little better but in general a good experience. Will def go again

W.

A great place to chill and enjoy great food. Service was great too; we just walked in and they tried to accommodate us as best they could. They did great.

K. Y.

Nice service and great food. A bit salty for my taste, so I would give a 4.5 star rating if there were one. Highly recommend if anyone is looking for some Italian food in Parnell!

G.

Food was beautiful staff was really helpful My cousin and his beautiful wife took my husband and I here for dinner while visiting nz.they also told us that they are a regular customer.i replied I thought so I could tell how 1 of the staff welcomed us.

L.

This is the only place I want to buy cheese pizza from. The service was friendly and very easy going. Clean and Professional place. Thanks guys :)

A. B.

Usually I am happy with the food, but when I ordered Penne Beef Ragu, I could find one tiny piece of meat after looking very carefully in the tomato sauce. Disappointed because I can cook penne with veggies and tomato sauce at home. The waiter spoke to me and brought some sauce with meat. Next time I'll try the ones I already know, like Carbonara or Pollo and Funghi.

L.

Not a bad option. Borderline fast food. Prefer to get the pizzas without anchovies.

V.

One of our favourite places to eat. They offer some of the best pasta around. Highly recommend the food. Restaurant is clean and staff are friendly.

D.

A+ Caesar salad but fettuccini w mushrooms tasted only like mushrooms. Disappointed because I told them I didn't enjoy it and wouldn't be eating anymore but still had to pay for a meal I didn't eat. Maybe my expectations were too high

J.

The Italian diner, American style pizza. Very casual, to share a large pizza on one of the comfy booth. Affordable prices, a crowded family place on Fridays.

G.

The best Italian place in my opinion, with good food at reasonable prices. The staff is really friendly and a nice atmosphere. Perfect for a family dinner!

W.

Had pasta here today and it was awesome! Good value with big portions and a well planned kiddies menu. Highly recommended!

S.

Always good, great fresh pasta friendly staff, great for kids, fair prices, parking can be an issue but this is the same problem for all if Parnell shops, drawings for kids, you can customise your pizza to your likings

P.

Love the food here and service is really prompt. They have great music too. Nice fresh atmosphere

J.

Easy, tasty dining. We go for birthdays with extended family.

D.

Had an amazing meal. I will highly recommend this place for pizzas and pasta!

U.

Simply Delicious Great customer service and friendly staff Reasonable prices Tried their vegetarian spicy pesto pizza ... absolutely YUM :-)

C.

The ambient toghether with service okish however sad that the icon cake lava cake and other desert on Sunday lunchtime already finished ...hmmm on a celebration day unexpected lost business guys we needed to go for desert diffrent place :(

D.

Easy to find. Road parking. Quick service really good risotto and pizza. Lots of choice and reasonably priced. Nice staff.

J.

Great, tasty food that's reasonably priced and their big pizzas are really big!! Friendly staff too.

W. S.

I really love the La Porchetta as a family restaurant. The staff is always friendly in all franchises I went ans the food is really good value for money.

A.

Enjoyed the food and the friendliness of the staff here. If you're in Parnell, head to this place for some pasta and pizza. Parking are available on-street or in a parking space a few blocks from the place.

D.

Used to come to this place as a kid and it hasn't changed - great food, great service, great prices.

The lasagna was sadly not heated all the way through & tasted a bit funny.. but the cheese garlic bread was great--highly recommend that.
