Love La Porchetta in Frankston!! The team there is fabulous and always service us well :D The food is very fresh and restaurant clean. Favourite meal is the fish and veggies with lemon sauce. Pizza's are awesome, and so is the lasagne :) Great family restaurant. Very well priced and swift service.

Have been visiting La Porchetta at Frankston on quite a few occasions. My favourite item on the menu is Beef Ragu Risotto. Generous amount of meat mixed in with the rice in the dish. Always yummy.
Have also tried their pizzas, while not exceptional, they are nice and tasty. The tomato paste used on the pizzas is particularly nice. Can be noisy as other reviewers have said.

long wait but massive servings, not too crowded or hectic, staff are okayish

prices are fine given the yummy servings, decent amount of seating

great location, hard to find a park though!

Great sized plates, meals took a little longer to come out but was well worth the wait. The chilli prawn is to die for, so juicy. Highly recommended

Mixed review for this one. Lamb shanks came out for another table and it looked delicious. My dining partner order fungi penne and the serving was large and the pasta was very tasty. I ordered a pizza pocket type of thing which was filled with ricotta and spinach. Thi dish was kind of a medium sized pizza but also had a pastry top and then filled with the tomato base and ricotta and cheese. Unfortunately it didn't hit
the mark at all. Bland and I didn't want to eat much of it. So at least there was enough tasty pasta for the two of us.
Great service though and yes it is very casual dining and perfect to bring kids. The atmosphere is a little uninspiring also.

Approximate cost: $Reasonable prices

The food was simple and reasonable priced, but the atmosphere was a bit noisy. A good place to bring a group of kids.

Yes, La Porchetta restaurants are good but have noticed they can be a bit noisy as they pack people in like sardines!!

slow service. food average even though the serves are huge. salad has been sitting there for ages. you can just tell. Ice cream probably the best thing there. Marquee set up outside has got mould all over it. place needs to be shut down for a few days and maintained.

Every time i come to La Porchetta's in Frankston, it is always great. The food is awesome always. Never had a bad experience with the food or the Staff. Excellent prices as well. The only downer is in Summer time when it is HOT WEATHER, they have no Airconditioning.

The most amazing food, all La Porchettas are great but this one is THE BEST! The owners are so lovely; the staff polite, well presented and friendly; the food AMAZING, the service in general efficient and good. A good place for families or a catch up. VERY reasonably priced and HUGE serves. Also offers take away so if you order too much dining in you can take it home. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Approximate cost: $8.00

We were here for an early dinner on a Saturday and we had a great meal. Everyone was happy with the serves and value. I had a great warm chicken salad and the service was quite good.

Excellent service most of the time with pleasant wait staff and basic honest to goodness traditional Italian favourites.
Good price for a hearty size meal and the tables and chairs are spaced nicely unlike the cattle yard up the road who crams more punters than there are room.

Approximate cost: $12-13
