La Porchetta - Haringey

The pizza is terrible, very far away from what a real Pizza taste. Shame cause they are very nice. Please learn how to make good pizza!

Got a takeaway from here last night and was a bit disappointed. Couldn’t taste any garlic on the garlic bread and the ‘fresh Italian sausage’ on my pizza was more like tinned hotdog than anything Italy would produce ...

I visited La Porchetta for the first time after our b&b hostess recommended it to us for a lovely meal, unfortunately it was a disappointment for us. My partners meal came out around 20-25 minutes before mine did so we ate separately as his was going cold so he began to eat but by the time mine arrived he had just about finished his. Furthermore I had ordered a pasta dish in tomatoe sauce with spinach but I recieved a completely different type of pasta containing ham and mushrooms in a cream sauce but by this time I was starving and quite annoyed so I began to eat it to then realise the pasta was not even cooked!! So I'm not quite sure what took an extra 20-25 minutes when the dish I ordered was completely wrong and under cooked! Also I ordered a mixed salad with vinaigrette to go along side my pasta dish but when it arrived it was completely covered in salad cream and had no vinaigrette on, this probably wouldn't be an issue for most but I cannot stand salad cream so this was waisted also! It seemed we wasnt the only ones with issues as the two young ladies on the table at the side also didn't recieve their chips and when they complained it was confirmed the lady who took the order didn't even write the chips down. It was clear they were busy but this is a poor excuse and maybe if they cannot handle the volume of orders they shouldn't do a delivery service as the phone rang constant and they put more effort into answering that than they did helping customers in the restaurant!

Lovely place close to Leister square, fitted in nicely between Harry potter and the cursed child part 1 2. The food was amazing from starter to pudding and the staff just so friendly and helpful. The potions are quite big so we were very full at the end of the meal. Prices very good too.

Very nice Italian restaurant in Muswell hill . Affordable and tasty . Wide variety of pastas and pizzas . Good choice for vegetarians as well . Good and efficient service . Open till late , and always a smile while serving .
