La Porchetta Restaurant Riccarton

"I was extremely disappointed with my recent dining experience. Despite having made a reservation, my party and I had to wait a whole hour for our food to arrive. And to add insult to injury, when our order finally came, it was the wrong pizza. To top it off, I had specifically requested a jar of lemon-lime bitters with no ice, but it arrived with ice in it. It's disheartening to see such a lack of attention to detail and disregard for customer preferences. Overall, the long wait, incorrect order, and the failure to fulfill a simple request left me thoroughly unsatisfied with my visit."

"Nice and tidy place for having dinner. Excellent service, very friendly staff. Pizza was cooked to perfection and arrived in less than 10 minutes after ordering. Keep up the good work!"

"Was craving for good pasta from a long time. Went to La Porchetta last week and it was awesome. The chicken pasta was great value for money and tasted purely authentic and delicious . Also tried the peri peri chicken pizza. It was also good. The staff was friendly and as it was my first time trying food from their, the manager helped me to pick the right food according to my preferences."

"The food here good, we had the mushroom pizza. The restaurant has a nice atmosphere, however the customer service is quite poor. Some staff were friendly however we did have one waitress who seemed as though she just really hates customer service. Maybe it’s a lack of training, but regardless it did make our experience less enjoyable. We were very polite and made no annoying or difficult requests, but every interaction we had she lacked the basic customer service skills."

"This is a really hard review to write because there were some really great things about this place & some not so great… If you are looking for decent portion sizes & good food you’ve come to the right place, but for service and well presented meals perhaps not so. The restaurant has capacity for a large number of diners & catered well for our group of 7 but attention to detail was not there. We booked in advance and yet our table wasn’t ready we had to wait and ask for forks and water. 2 out of the 3 ladies bathrooms were out of order. The server was not forth coming about offering a kids menu so there was a drink mixup & could have advised our group on the size of meals & suggested more appropriate sides for meals as we ended up ordering far too much. Entrees are not necessary as there’s so much food, so to avoid waste order entree size. Medium pizza was great & the pasta & we’d recommend the seafood dishes also. As mentioned earlier presentation is not a priority so if you like a gif looking meal it might not be for you! East place to spend far too much moment but ya won’t go home hungry!"
