La Porchetta Restaurant Lilydale

Very good pizza, had the spicy chicken and shrimp pizza. Very full, not oily at all. Will come back again. Oh, Very friendly service.

We decided to come here for my birthday dinner, thinking they would honour the “unlimited” pizza and pasta deal for $25. Little to our knowledge it’s only for a group of 20 or more yet that is not stated anywhere online or in store. Bad start. On arrival we had booked a table and the sever could not find our booking, made us choose our table which was fine I guess. We waited up to 10 minutes to be served once we sat down, ordered, not given any water had to ask. It took over 45 minutes for our order for 3 people to arrive. I checked with one of the severs and apprently the order was “lost in system” thanks to wifi, yet the order was taken by hand. Pretty lame excuse. Was at least offered half price. After ordering again and food arriving in 10 minutes at that time we were satisfied. That was until 1 of our pastas had a hair in it! Absolutely disgusting. And to top tnay off one of the Pizzas the Aussie, had raw egg, which actually gave me food poisoning later that night. Still not fully over it when adding this review. Overall, not very impressed. Staff seemed to complain about dping everything, didn’t really care much, couldn’t explain or blink an eye at the issues on the night, bad service, wouldn’t come back I think there is much better places to go for Italian food for sure.

We've always loved the original La Porchetta so when that one in Carlton closed, we went on a hunt for one that replaces our fave haunt. We were ecstatic to see that the one in Lilydale was so near us, but other than that, we sadly weren't too impressed with the food or the small service interaction we had when paying for our takeaway. I ordered extra cheese and extra pizza sauce on my pizza and although, we were charged for it, we certainly did not feel it was any more than the normal amount (if not less than what the original La Porchetta gave). This kind of left a bad taste in my mouth because we actually paid for more and did not get what we paid for. One of our pastas was actually very nice however the other one we ordered was a little too sweet for our liking. I really wanted to like and hoped to frequent this spot as I grew up dining at La Porchetta, however I'm so sad to say this one fell a little short of the mark.

We booked a table for 12 and had a great experience. The food was amazing and came out quickly, even for a large group. The service was excellent—staff were friendly, organised, and very attentive. Everyone enjoyed their meals, and the whole experience was smooth and enjoyable. Highly recommend for group bookings.
