La Porchetta Restaurant Sydenham Sydenham, Victoria 3038

"The service was great, atmosphere was pretty damn good too! My partners pesto was very oily in that pesto taste was masked by the abundance of oil. I had gnocchi ragu, the sauce was lacklustre and without flavour but the gnocchi melted in my mouth and the beef was fantastic. But the sauce REALLY let it down. But don't get me wrong, nothing tasted bad, everything tasted good, the serving size was great and we would for sure come back again to try different dishes!"

"We decided to try this La Porchetta with our young family and were quite underwhelmed by the food quality. We usually eat at the Caroline Springs La Porchetta which has better quality food than what we were dished up on this occasion. The older waitress who worked here was very friendly and kind - always checking on our entree which took a while to get to the table. The real disappointment was when my 9 year old son wanted to swap a 10 dollar note for some change to use the toy vending machines. He approached the young waitress at the counter and to my shock, he was brushed off quite abruptly and told there was no change. I wouldn't have a problem if this was genuine and he was told in a compassionate manner. However, it was evident that there was a unofficial no change policy. The owner of the establishment was standing right next to the waitress when this occurred. When we went to pay for our meals, the same waitress was ripping $2 coins out of a brand new coin roll and clunking them into the till. Because of this my husband asked if we could change a note and she still proceeded to tell us they had no change for the machine. Quite disappointing after we just paid for quite a bit of food. My son left very upset - we won't be back. Caroline Springs La Porchetta is the more superior choice."

"Went with a small group of friends I had the grilled chicken salad it was nice."

"Ideally located , La Porchetta offers the italian food variety that have made it famous. The ambience is modern, welcoming, spacious and family oriented. The service staff provide a professional, friendly and fast service, thus are attentive to customers needs and wants. The food is deliciously tasty, with a traditional Pizza made as requested by customer . So if its Italian you crave when at Watergardens, then look no further, as La Porcheta is the place to go. Plenty of on site parking available."
