I love this restaurant but feel that the microwave is over used. Piping hot - Good, Microwaved to the death - Bad, dries out the food and kills the taste. Please stop doing this!

This place does what it says, delivers good pizza and pasta at reasonable prices. For me this restaurant is great for taking the kids.

Great value for money restaurant

Don't know why anyone would go here expecting high-end Italian dishes, just look at the menu and the price range!!!!!

We had our xmas party in La Porchetta.

It was a hell ride for 2 hours until it was time to pay the bill, when the waitress realised that she was going to get a hefty tip, we finally saw some smile and politeness from her.

The general atmosphere is very average. And the food is also average. I would definitely not recommend this restaurant to anyone. There are lots of much better italian restaurant in the capital.

If you hate someone, take her/him there for a meal!

I went here for lunch one Sunday with a mate and on the whole, the place did the job. The food was farily average, but represented reasonable value for money. The atmosphere was quite nice and the service not bad. I don't think this is somwhere to go if you want proper, high-end Italian food though.

A shockingly poor meal. Overcooked, rubbery lamb cutlets, a soggy pizza, the worst Spaghetti Vongole I have ever tasted. Inattentive, disinterested service.

If you've been to Italy, you would know this is a shockingly bad Italian restaurant! My pasta was covered in a bland sauce, and felt microwaved. The worst part was the PUDDING. My friend spat blocks of ice out of his gelato!! The tiramisu consisted of dry + unsoaked sponge fingers with brown powder on top. Will never return, ever!

We were there last Thursday with our class and our teacher too.

The place is a typical Italian Pizzeria with most popular pizzas and delicious salads made by real Italian chefs. Would like to recommend this place to everyone who likes a great food and true Italian atmosphere.

Had a great time, party of 4 adults and 2 children. Located couple minutes walk from Sadlers Wells Theatre so very convenient for after theatre meal. I had found the details on a website so didn't know what to expect, we were pleasantly surprised, it had a great atmosphere! Did think it was a bit 'cafe' like, rather than restaurant when we first sat down. Service was great, really friendly and helpful. Food was lovely, our only complaint would be the size of the portions, they were huge!! Would definately go back again.
