"A group of us booked La Porchetta hoping for a nice informal place for a family lunch. Unfortunately it was very disappointing. The food was just horrible huge portions of stodgy, overcooked pasta in bland sauces. Those that ordered pizza had to wait another ten minutes for it to be served even though the restaurant was virtually empty. Everything was incredibly salty in fact salt and garlic were the only identifiable flavours throughout. Green salad was a sad handful of wilting, brown chopped iceberg lettuce and 4 slices of (salty) cucumber, hidden under a scattering of rocket. The drinks menu is like stepping back in time...choose between warm cans of Coke, 7 Up or Fanta and grubby glasses of apple or orange juice...all served without either ice or a smile. For reasons unknown the manager decided to mop the floor around us while we were eating, yet there was an actual prawn under our table that looked like it might have died there some years ago. I'm all for supporting local, independent restaurants but I can't recommend anything about this place dreadful food, grumpy staff and zero atmosphere its a total mystery how this restaurant survives."

I have been coming to La Porchetta my whole life. Some of the best pizza in London. Great value and friendly staff. A must visit in Muswell Hill.

There’s no better pizza, or pasta actually. This place has become our Friday night takeaway treat with the kids …it’s affordable and downright delicious.

Pizzas are nice but the service is very poor, we sat for a good 20 minutes without being asked even for a drink, we ended up leaving and going to Franco Manca around the corner which is far superior

Popped in for an impromptu dinner on a Sunday evening. Despite living locally for a while, we haven’t had a chance to pop in until now. Food was fantastic generous portions, really flavoursome. Will definitely be back again in the very near future! View menu

Went to this restaurant in Muswell Hill Broadway as staying away for work. The food I ordered was really tasty (pasta with sausage and broccoli) as well as a side salad (which was huge). Really good service. This venue does add a 10% service charge.

Lovely warm welcome, excellent garlic bread (large but light pizza with garlic and tomato sauce). Pollo Milanese also excellent, as was the house wine. The manager, Sybil was brilliantly helpful. Lovely warm family atmosphere. Only quibble was the icy cold plates

My husband and I found this restaurant and gave it a try. It was an excellent choice as we really enjoyed it. We had a soup and salad to start with which was very fresh, tasty and a good portion. Our mains were pasta and were very tasty, piping hot.The service of the manager Borat was excellent, he made us feel very welcome and couldn’t have been kinder. This restaurant is underrated, as it serves such a tasty food!We highly recommend La Porchetta.For sure we will be back. Ciao. View menu

I have ordered pizzas from this restaurant for quite some time now as I used to go there in early 2000's when food and value for money was excellent. On the weekend I ordered new pizza called Tutto (that has at least 8 toppings and cost Β£15) and Calzone. Over the past few years, the food quality has gone from bad to worse. There were hardly any toppings on my pizza. I ended up using my own ham just to get some taste. The dough is the best part of it, but for Β£30, I think it's not worth it!!!!!

I have visited this restaurant for a number of years and cannot fault the food at all but after a recent visit this week I thought it was only fair to review it. As a physical customer going in to a restaurant you would have thought that your presence was valued especially after the past 18 months but it felt like Deliveroo and Uber Eats drivers and orders took president over those of us in the restaurant itself. There were minimal waiting staff, some of which seemed very flustered at times. Great service is being asked if the food is ok, did we require a top up on drinks and would we like dessert, none of which were asked.Like I said, I can’t fault the standard of food but the service itsel...

"A friend and I stumbled on to this neighbourhood restaurant by chance; no research, no booking, no expectations. We were then blown away by the quality of the food: wonderfully fresh fish, beautifully cooked. The service is also exemplary. I've always enjoyed calamari, but this was by far the best I've ever had: truly succulent and juicy. The mussels were almost as good, and the sea bream kept up the standard. The spiced quince with ice cream made a nice change from baclava in a Turkish restaurant (they still threw in some baclava). The owner, Tony, provides excellent recommendations β€” make sure you take them! He knows what's fresh that morning, and how his wife cooks it. The bill comes hand-written, and Tony forgot to include the wine (obviously I corrected him). I can't remember the last time a restaurant bill made a mistake in the customers' favour! No service charge is included, and it deserves a lot more than the usual 12.5%. This is a wonderful, old-fashioned restaurant, run by a charming old couple, committed to maintaining old-fashioned standards. The food is more than great and the prices more than reasonable. Service is personal, honest and responsive (providing Tony turns his hearing aid on). Tony warns you if anything you wanted was bought in, rather than home-made. Why don't unassuming but wonderful restaurants like this get Michelin stars?"
