Even though it was an unusual time to be going out for a meal, the staff were very welcoming, friendly, and the service was excellent. Our server Kumar was fantastic – he not only looked after us so well but also made us some amazing cocktails. The Mudslide and the Illusion were both perfect. The food came out hot and delicious, making the whole experience really enjoyable!

Had dinner at La Porchetta Sth Yarra, the food was beautiful. I had a Garlic Pizza with Cheese on a thick base and a side of chips. Both items were fantastic. The staff were excellent and very friendly. I would highly recommend supporting this business. The best Garlic Pizza I have had in a long time.

Absolutely loved the food & service! The guy in the black shirt had amazing hospitality skills—very friendly and helpful. His recommendation of the special veg pizza and his own Mexican-style margarita was spot on. Definitely recommending this place to everyone and will be coming back with friends for sure!
