La Porchetta, Auckland, New Zealand Reviews

Cheap and enjoyable eats. I like the booths, the pizzas and pasta and the chocolate mousse.

Good service, clean bathrooms, delicious food. Highly recommended.

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?

Great Italian food, especially pizza. Friendly, helpful staff. Love coming here

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!

Amazing food
Really good service
I have complained before about a specific meal and I ordered it again this time and it was perfect so that's for taking my feedback and improving your meals

Great for kids, family and friends. Food is ok and service too. Pretty reliable service really!!

Always a good place to go when there's is confusion in the group to decide on a place. Lots of veg options. It even serves halal chicken.

Staff and food were great! Would defs go back again.

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!

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

Food and service was excellent. Always love coming back.

Definitely Good food. The wait is a bit long maybe because it was dinner time at 5.30 with 1 wait staff in sight

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.

The pizzas were too salty unlike the last time I was there.

Less than average. Not sure why this place has such a high avg. rating

Been here a few times, pizza is never a disappointment!

Always a busy place, the food are usually mediocre. Though sometimes it's good. The mash potatoes are usually quite gelatinous like something that you get from frozen mashed potato. Staff members are quite friendly. Parking are very hard to get most of the time.

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

Restaurant staffs were very friendly, and kind. My son really loves here.

Great food, great service. Parking can be a problem though.

I ordered takeaway and the service was good and food was ready on time.

Great customer service and great food with reasonable prices.

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

Pizza kinda sucked and the pepperoni was so terrible I just chucked it out...

It's a really nice place, pizzas are good but look more as American pizzas than Italian pizzas

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

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

Amazing place very good service, plentiful portions.

Ordered pizza and pasta. Our order was too quick to be fresh and tasted like it was microwaved and didn't taste nice at all. Pizza was average. I ended up cooking instead. Wasn't impressed at all as pasta was $21.50.

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

NOT recommend to go to this restaurant (La Porchetta Parnell). If you are traveler from abroad, be careful NOT to be deceived. We paid for 'Minestrone' which is NOT ordered and of course NOT served. Other dishes were just fine. But you know, fraud matters.

I always liked their selection of pizzas and pastas

Food and service are fine. A little expensive for the overall experience you get.

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.

This was great. The service was on to it and the food was amazing too

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.

Lovely dine in we had the family deal takeouts. The bacon carbonara fettuccine was obviously prepared and cooked earlier in the day. It was definitely microwaved at the last minute as the top was crispy and under it was soft. Continental packet pasta is better than this pasta. Pizzas are average. Expensive for the quality of what was served.

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.

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.

Went there for a family birthday lunch on a Saturday - wasn't busy at all when we arrived yet the food took a while to arrive and when it did it was just ok, taste-wise!

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

Nice place for a informal italian dinner but a little noisy

The food is amazing but having ordered the iced tea multiple times - it takes too long.

Nice staff, but the worst margherita pizza ever. It was worse than frozen supermarket pizza.

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

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.

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.

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!

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

I find the texture, flavor and taste in this location is better than other outlets!

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

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!

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

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

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.
