1 point for the staff member that took my order. Warning don't order tiramuso , it is literally watery supermarket sponge sliced ever so thin so they can be even more scummy then disguised in cream. Its not a Italian tiramuso, its possibly the worst lve ever had. I had to throw in bin, wish l could of thrown it at who decided it was a good idea to serve to the public. What a waste , its totally spew worthy.

On Friday 21st May 2021 I ordered a main fettuccini carbonara for $17.90 but after eating it that night I got very bad diarrhoea because they obviously were deliberately trying to food poison me so I would definitely recommend staying well clear of this place and I will be telling others to do the same.

Approximate cost: $18

My daughter loves going here more than anything. She's 6, and yet to grow up. The ONE dish I loved was the calamari, but have been served far too many uncooked pizzas, complete with soft dough base. But, the kids lasagne and chips, well, the little ones love them.

I had never been to a La Porchetta restaurant (upstairs from the pizza place) until last night for a friend's birthday meal. The steak was cooked just the way i asked, with lashings of mushroom sauce, the chips were crunchy and full of flavour, out of all the people in our little group, only did a few finish their meals as the plate sizes were amazing! I have also never seen a sticky date pudding that big!!! We went around 8pm on a weeknight, and it was quiet and provided an atmosphere were we werent shouting at one another over the background noise. Very plesant, friendly staff. Caters for a good night out with the family or friends.

Again another restaurant we frequented for several years but diminishing quality sent us elsewhere.
Last few times we ate there pizza toppings were so thick that the middle was raw-but edges burnt. Couldn't eat it.
Veggies served with chicken fillets werent cooked-couldn't eat those. Pasta was ok but when asked howfoid was at checkout and an honest review given...nothing.
No apology no discount or refund.
So we took our large family gatherings elsewhere!!
It's been a while since we left so hopefully things have improved.

Approximate cost: $23.00

Staff here are terrible. When ordering pick up orders there is not enough waiting room and it gets very hot and crowded in the entrance.

Last time I was there I saw 3 staff members walk out the front door and have a smoke right next to the front door, I could even smell the smoke inside the shop. Then they butted out on the ground, left their butts next to the front door and went back inside. Very unprofessional.

Food is ok, standard La Porchetta quality.

Food is ok. Standard La Porchetta style menu. Service is pretty ordinary (long waits to get waiting staff attention for drinks). Meals come out fairly quickly and are generous portions. Price is reasonable. Decor is a little old and the tables are a bit close to each other.

Approximate cost: $20

I have been dining at this La Porchetta for years and years whether it be a quick family catch up or for birthday's with friends. There is a broad range of food available, my pick would be pizza or pasta. Great area in the back for larger groups - ideal for birthday situations. It is a double story building with dining up the top and takeaway down the bottom. This La Porchetta is always a safe bet for cheap quality food and I would recommend to anyone wanting a night out without the expensive cheque.

Approximate cost: $10-20

This is the best and probably one of the oldest La Porchettas. Great family feel and quick service. The house red is fine too. The pizzas are all good - especially the smoked salmon and caper one. Super cheap when the kids are with you and nice atmosphere

Approximate cost: $10

Good food that is affordable for the average family. Initial service is good but can take a bit of effort to get service further into meal. Pasta dishes are good value for money. Family friendly environment.

La Porchetta in Lilydale is a double story restaurant, where you can sit and wait for your take away pizza below, or head upstairs for a table and meal. The menu is like every other la porchetta, pizza, pasta, veal, steak and even fish! Specials board was enticing, with a variety of options at fantastic value. I ordered a vegetarian pizza, it was delicious, with a respectable amount of toppings. Staff were friendly and accommodating.

Approximate cost: $15
