This place is family friendly, which is great. But, I really think that menu is outdated and the pizza sauce tastes like it's from a jar... On the upside, prices are reasonable, especially for wine :)

Approximate cost: $15

What a fantastic restaurant, possibly the pick of the bunch for value for money on the North Hobart restaurant strip. I have visited twice in the last couple of months. The gnocchi marinara I had for dinner was cooked perfectly with a flavoursome sauce and a good amount of seafood included. My other 2 dining companions were just as impressed with their pasta meals. All meals were a good size and more than a decent feed for the price. On my other visit my girlfriend and I shared a lunch of wedges with sweet chilli sauce & sour cream and a chicken caesar salad, both were very large serves and we weren't charged extra when we asked for plenty of sour cream and there was indeed plenty! Prices are very reasonable, the lunch meal only came to around $30 and that included a soft drink each as well.

They focus on pizzas, which are superb. Available both dining in and take away. Many choices on the menu for pizzas, but options for pasta. Good starters and amazing Italian desserts as well. Great family atmosphere. Two levels available for dining, so space is not a problem. Good place for group dinners or functions.

great prices and the meals are always big! the service is good and they have good slushies and milkshakes. i continue to go back.

I went to La Porchetta for lunch and was actually surprised at how good the food was! I ordered chicken fettuccini and there was probably 200g of chicken in the sauce! The top notch meals are complimented by the excellent service. The staff seem to have found the right balance between not enough and too much attention.

This restaurant is a really good family place, with large meals and friendly service. A perfect restaurant for a quick meal before the movies, or for a quick take-away meal on the way home. It can sometimes be a bit noisy if it's busy, but this only adds to the informal feel of the place
