Cozy place• Staff a bit rude• great pasta

••• we have tried the lasagna, tagliatelle with creamy mushroom and calamari provincial as a starter and they were great. The pizza on the other hand, was too spicy!

••• Staff were overwhelmed, too busy and mistaken several times in our order.

I was slightly unsure about this restaurant as the prices were rather low but it seemed busy so we have it shot. A bottle of wine later together with a garlic tomato pizza starter, pasta with spicy sausage and a carbonara we were happy customers. Decent portions and a nice chilled atmosphere. Bill total was £40 with service!

The best. I have been to ‘La Porchetta’ with my friend a month ago.
We ordered a sausage and broccoli pizza and a Margarita.
Since we rarely have starters, we didn't order any appetisers.
The restaurant is run by real Italian people, so the food was really authentic!!!! The pizza was way better than any other chain restaurant pizza I have ever had. 
The crust was really well-baked and crispy.
The cheese was gooey and stringy.
The size of the pizza was incredibly big for the price. 
Compared to eating at pizza express where one pizza can cost up to 11 quid, we spent the same amount of money on a filling dinner for the two of us. 
The decor was rustic and all the staff were Italian as well. 
However, the waiters kept talking to each other and ignoring us when we wanted to get our bill. But this wasn't a big problem because the restaurant has a very cosy and relaxed atmosphere.
I can't recommend this restaurant highly enough!!! To go there is a must!

Yum!. We love this restaurant. The menu has, what seems like, endless pizza and pasta dishes. The food is very simple, so don't expect intricate dishes, but what they do serve is very hearty and comes in massive portions. If you find yourself in Soho and need some really cheap filling food this is the place to go. The carbonara is very rich and I've not been able to finish one yet (I've tried several times). The furniture and interior design is a little off-putting, but the staff are generally very friendly and jovial. Enjoy.

Decent Italian food is difficult to find in London. It's often overpriced and rarely very good. La Porchetta, however, is special...especially for Soho...cheap and cheerful. The total came to just £60...£20 each.

Affordable and yummy pizzas cooked in front of you in their open kitchen. Base of the pizza was average as it was becoming difficult for us to chew it. We went for basic quattro formaggi, it was a little heavy on the blue cheese but it did justice to it. portions of the pizza was enough for two.

By far the best pasta I have ever had! They have customisable options and have lots to choose from! The waiters are friendly and the atmosphere is lovely! Honestly if I ever feel like having pasta this will be the standard place I go to. The portions are huge and I had to pack things up! Overall an amazing place!

Amazing food. Amazing service and amazing prices. Authentic Italian place. Reminded of the places in naples. Staff is friendly. Servings are massive and the food tastes heavenly. Highly recommended. The truffle pasta was great as was the pizza. I got the pizza with the pistachio pesto and buratta. Top top place to go to.

I love this place! The food is always delicious and never fails to disappoint and they are very flexible with you changing/adding ingredients. The staff are so friendly and kind, they joke around with you and you feel the genuineness in the atmosphere. I really love that a lot of the time they speak Italian to eachother as well, this is a place that a lot of Italians come to and call authentic! The pricing is also super good, especially considering it's in Soho. Last time my boyfriend and I went, they served us a pizza in the shape of a heart, it was so sweet, we were very touched. The restaurant itself is cozy but there isn't usually a line and we love how homely it feels

This is my favorite pizza place in London. I moved to this city 7 years ago and have been coming here ever since. I've witnessed numerous improvements in both the food and the establishment. The food is fantastic, the atmosphere is pleasant, and the service is impressively quick. The best part is that the prices are incredibly affordable for such delicious dishes, making it completely worth it.

Prepare to be transported to the enchanting streets of Italy at this remarkable Italian restaurant! From the moment you step inside, the staff's charisma and passion for their heritage are palpable. With their lively Italian songs and genuine warmth, they create an atmosphere that feels like a culinary journey to the heart of Italy. Now, let's talk about the culinary delights that await you on the specials menu. Brace yourself for an extraordinary culinary adventure! Their pizza topped with creamy burrata cheese is a slice of heaven that will leave you craving for more. And if that's not enough, the pesto pasta with the same velvety burrata is a symphony of flavors that will dance on your taste buds. While most of the dishes left us utterly delighted, we must address the only minor setback we encountered—the tomato salad. While the ingredients were fresh and vibrant, we couldn't help but wonder how it would've been elevated with the juiciness and authentic taste of Sicilian tomatoes. It's a small suggestion that could elevate an already fantastic dish to new heights. Aside from this slight observation, the overall experience at this Italian oasis was undeniably splendid. The staff's charisma and the delightful specials menu make it a standout destination for any Italian cuisine enthusiast. With each visit, you'll find yourself enchanted by the spirit of Italy that fills the air, leaving you with beautiful memories and a longing to return. This Italian restaurant truly stands as a culinary gem that embodies the very essence of Italy.

We stumbled upon here for an after show dinner. Its such a vibrant and buslting restaurant with a real genuine Italian feel. The pizza was delicious as was the wine and service. The tiramisu is quite possibly the best ive ever tasted! It seemed to be most busy for dinner around 10pm to 11pm, they serve good until midnight. Really loved our experience here.

Always busy so arm yourself with a bit of patience and they'll have a table for you in no time. We visited the restaurant several times and it never disappointed. The pizzas are of great quality and in a generous variety and portion while you can also get excellent pastas or starters. Pricing is very low considering the location and the popularity of the restaurant.

My fave place to eat in the West End. Big bowls of steaming pasta and freshly baked pizza. Portions are huge and not too expensive. Usually very busy and tables are close together, so not necessarily the best choice for a quiet relaxed dinner! Two floors (plus two tables on the street in summer), street-level is much better, but there's lots of seating downstairs.

Went to la porchetta last week with a large group of friends and had a delicious meal. The portions were huge for London, not expensive and really really tasty. It was a lively crowded atmosphere, the upstairs is nicer than downstairs where we sat where it’s a little stuffy - but overall a cheap and cheerful experience!
