I can't say one positive thing about my family's experience at this restaurant. From having to wave down a waiter to finally take our order even though ours was one of only two tables with patrons seated (they were too busy chatting) to my having to walk to the bar to help myself to cutlery because there wasn't enough on our table for the whole family. We found this unacceptable since it was maybe 5.30-6pm so we were among the first to eat in the restaurant that night. It only got worse. My meal was ruined by an anchovy on my vegetarian pizza. When the waiter collected our plates, I apologised for the chewed up mouthful I was forced to spit out on my plate, pointing out the offending anchovy that had been on my vegetarian pizza. Rather than apologise, he went to check a menu to see if anchovies were on that pizza. I'm not sure if he wanted to defend the anchovy or what but I was shocked that a waiter in a pizza place didn't know that anchovies are not vegetables!!

We were looking forward to this meal as we have fond memories of La Porchetta from many years ago. I guess when we discovered that La Porchetta's signature complimentary pizza dough rolls were no longer on offer, we should have realised this was not the same place. Too bad. THUMBS DOWN.
