La Porchetta Albany

Nice Italian food, service could have been better but still a good meal out

We bought a couple of pizzas last night and they were the worst pizzas I have eaten. We had to throw them away. To have a meat lovers pizza and only taste tomato with a few pieces of salami thrown on is simply not good enough. We have dined at La Porchetta in Melbourne and had excellent food but this was disgraceful.

Had a lunch here with my colleagues. Ordered Grilled Fish $24. The food came quickly but the taste was too plain. Almost no seasoning in fish. Not what I would expect in Italian dishes. Kind of disappointing.

I’ve been to this chain twice and the waiter is always slow one time we were waiting and she was just standing there. She was nice but too slow and maybe distracted. Pizza and pasta are always delicious!

We had to different kinds of pizza and two different pasta dishes. They were pretty much average. Penne was soggy and bland. 2 star for pasta and 3 for pizza.
