    I've always tough that for a restaurant to be good it should serve good food, but the service must also be like that. This place is an example of that. Had the service been a bit better this would have been my regular place. Unfortunately all the times I've visited the staff worked really efficiently, but were just to emotionless and seemed like they just want to be done with the job and get it over with. Never the less the food is exceptionally good, so it this place is still worth an occasional visit or two.

    Made a booking for 6 pax. When we arrived we were pointed to a table that hadn't even been set. No cutlery etc. Staff then started to set the table whilst we were sitting there but halfway through got called over to the bar by the management. Oh well, finish setting the table by ourselves..... Waited for 10 minutes before they came back and asked us if we were ready to order.... Ummmmm..... honey, you haven't given us menus yet and a 'would u like something to drink' would be nice.... Menus then unceremoniously dropped on the table.... Waited another 10 minutes until they came back and placed our order (still no drinks!!!) After about 15 minutes our drinks arrived and I told the kids not to finish their drinks as dinner would be arriving shortly...... Ummmmm...... about 45 minutes later (still waiting for meals) I was getting fed up and decided to go outside for a cigarette. As I passed the bar, the staff said 'thanks, have a good night' I told them we hadn't even had our meals yet and would they please go and find out where they were. When I returned from outside meals had still not arrived and the management came over to apologise and said the meals were on their way. About 5 minutes later the meals arrived. They had clearly been sitting for quite a while and had obviously been microwaved!!!! By this time kids were starving so I just told them to eat it but was NOT HAPPY!! Had to order more drinks as we had been sitting there since 7pm with ONE drink. (It is now 8.40) Had a word to the staff about the state of the meals and that chips were not nice when they had been microwaved. They asked if I wanted to return the meal but I said no, my son is hungry, tell the management they can take the meal off the bill. The staff came back in 5 minutes to tell me that if my son ate the meal we would be charged for it regardless??? Never mind that it was only semi warm with soggy chips!! Pretty much just waved them off as I was sick of the unprofessional ism. Got the bill as soon as we had finished. The veg that came with the meals were inedible due to the microwave so it didn't take long to finish. Bill for just under $150 for a crappy meal and deplorable service! Awesome!! We would have gotten better service next door at Macca's!! Unfortunately La Porchetta has a pretty captive audience in Pakenham as there isn't much else around. Save your money guys or go for a drive as the La Porchetta in Frankston is quick, friendly and the food is great. Never coming to La Porchetta Pakenham again!!!!

    I went for lunch mid week and the restaurant was not extremely busy. Waiting staff were quick and our orders came out within 5 to 8 min. The Pasta was as good as ever and would recommend anyon to go there.

    I rate this restuarant a 2 - for the fact there service was only worth 1 star and the quality of food was worth 1 star. My experience at this restaurant was appauling. I attended with a group of 25. It was mid week and the restaurant had no more then 40 people in total. The staff on board look like they were just old enough to start working and i felt so sorry for them waitressing. I went to the bar and paid for a bottle of wine instead of waiting for table service - which took 30 mins to finally come over to the table after serving others. 8 or more people ordered meals that were un available for their was not enough pizza dough, then their 2nd choice was even rejected - ended up in cancelled meals and finally after 1 hour the got there meals which ended up just being wedges. I would never recommend this restaurant.
