This certainly is a place that's tailor-made for birthday lunches. The 8 celebratory children (all around 4-5 years old) on the neighbouring table were testament to that. And what a great time they were having – actually everyone in the restaurant was aware of the celebration as their squeals of delight bounced around the sterile box of a dining room. Is it too much to ask that diners are forewarned of this type of party before being seated beside the soon-to-arrive kids club? Clearly the management at La Porchetta think so. And was the food worth enduring this yummy-mummy creche? Sadly, no. A sloppy, undercooked pizza and equally undercooked sausage in the rigatoni campangiola, along with a smile-less welcome from the staff, indicated that on Sunday afternoons there are no ‘happy meals’ in this eatery.
