Customer Review
Uninvited to the Family Table
I'm not sure what's more disappointing, the food or the service. As an Italian, I was excited to try La Porchetta, but my experience was a letdown. The pasta was overcooked, the pizza crust was soggy, and the 'fresh ingredients' tasted more like frozen vegetables. Our server seemed put off by our presence, and it took forever to get the check. The 'warm hospitality' they boast about? Non-existent. Maybe it's just a Melbourne thing, but the location we visited felt like a tired, outdated attempt at Italian cuisine. The loyalty program sounds nice, but when the food is subpar, who cares? For a place that claims to be all about family values and community, they sure didn't make us feel like part of the family. More like unwelcome guests. With so many amazing Italian restaurants out there, La Porchetta needs to step up its game. Until then, I'll be taking my pasta cravings (and my business) elsewhere.
