My wife and I came to La Porchetta on the evening of the of June hoping to have a nice dinner as a couple without the kids. Upon entering, we had waitresses walk past us, just looking with no acknowledgement. Not even a.. hi, we'll be with you shortly After minutes, we were offered somewhere to sit. Another waitress called out to ours in exasperation asking why we were being seated there. Our waitress signalled to the manager indicating he was the one who told her to. We were seated and our drink order was taken. The waitress came back with our drinks then walked off without asking if we were ready to order. minutes went past and no one came to take our order, despite separate waitresses clearing tables in our section. There were a few waitresses standing around, some even having caught our eye but not coming forward. Eventually we were hungry and tired of waiting, so we decided to leave. Went to the counter to pay for our drink. The manager and waitresses looked at the screen puzzled and asked us where we had been siitting, as if in disbelief that the bill was only for one drink. The manager just gave us a look of disdain and said, oh so it was just a drink The waitress who took our order was the one who put through the payment. She had realised what happened but offered no apology or explanation. Ended up going to Nando's, way better service. It is very sad to see that Dicaprio's has been replaced by a chain which offers below par service.

We have been eating from this restaurant for almost years but recently, the food quality has changed so my family now have second thoughts coming back. Food is now bland or not tasting fresh.

My family and I really enjoy this restaurant. The staff is very welcoming, especially towards our lively children, and they always provide fast service for them! But the highlight for us is definitely their delicious pizza. It's the best pizza around. Even when my children are feeling restless, this restaurant is our go-to place for pizza.
