La Porchetta - Speisekarte

Great food, friendly and unobtrusive staff but still attentive. Started with deep fried mozzerelllo balls with pesto mayonnaise them superb pasta dish -with minced pork, porcini in a slught chili sauce

one of my london favorites. I was here three times and every time I was so satisfied with the delicious food, great atmosphere and friendly service. both pasta and pizza are amazing, and the risotto balls are the best starter. it has a relaxed atmosphere and funky vibe. great restaurant for a date with affordable trips.

I was brought here on Friday night by a friend who is regularly here. the staff was very friendly and agreed to serve even though it was 11:15 and the kitchen closed. we ordered both a pasta dishes and a pizza and I was amazed at the size, taste and the whole fresh of eating! would definitely recommend and will go back!

Food aside, the main thing is so Italian fresh pasta all the sauces and a wide selection of pizzas. Pizzas are absolutely huge and very well stocked, for less than 10 parts. Small negative key for wine card Roses too light (only 2 choices) as often elsewhere in the English restaurant. If you really have the slab and you find yourself on Angel with an Italian feel, La Porchetta is a very good value for money!

Welcoming. I was meeting a friend over from Australia. I looked up to find a restaurant near the British Museum on Urbanspoon. We didn't manage to get to La Porchetta until 2.55pm this afternoon (we didn't know that the chef stops serving at 3pm). The owner was very welcoming and asked the chef if he could serve us food (the restaurant was emptying) and he did and we had a beautifully prepared meal. We were impressed by the welcome and the quality of the food for a very reasonable price.

Possibly the busiest best Italian in London!. This place is Italy mad, passionate, frenetic, moody, stylish, delicious all at the same time! Every Staff member seems to be Italian, which is a good thing. It's always busy and the food is worth the effort to seek out this little piece of Italy. Huge authentic pizzas, no stuffed crust here (PIzza Hut is down the road). Pasta to die for, the Carbonara is superb. If you need Italian food, this is the place to head for. The prices are extremely reasonable too a bonus! Speisekarte ansehen

I guess I am a bit unfair about la porchetta, but it has such a beautiful building from the outside that i expected the food and interior to be equally as good. Set up in an old converted bank, it is an impressive building with a decent menu offering ranged of italian dishes. On walking inside, I was a little disappointed its not bad but looked a little less impressive than i had hoped, with simple tables and chairs and not much style I went for the mozzarella balls followed by pizza. Again, they certainly were not bad but not particularly memorable. However, the portions were considerable do you definitely won't leave hungry! Overall, a slightly underwhelming experience but a...read more

...One of the best Italian restaurants in London so far. This is of course if you have no hesitation eating in a place which has pictures of little porkers all over the place (pink pig clock, pink pig chef in full chef costume on wall, little piggy silhouettes in a row on the window). I suggest you brave it anyhow, and try this place out. Before you continue, this is a VERY long post. With about 8 tables on the ground floor, and probably similar numbers in the lower ground floor, this restaurant would fit about 50 people at a time. My experience here was so fabulous, I almost wanted to ask the waitresses where they'd hidden the queue of customers. Not that you'd ask the waitresses...read mor...

Hi all, For having lived at Boswell court a couple of years in my university days, i can tell you La Porchetta, the smallest of places hidden in the backstreets of Holborn, will not disappoint. This one of three La porchetta restaurants in London is the least famous of all. Not sure it deserves such a non-reputation. More than once La porchetta has saved my night with solid take away pizza. Typically the difference in London pizza is the base. La porchetta seems to have got it right. While their pizza choice is fairly unsurprising, the restaurant sticks to a classic italian base, fresh ingredients and nicely sized pizzas. I haven't personally tried any other dish from La porchetta....read mo... Speisekarte ansehen
