This famous Italian restaurant chain hails from Melbourne, Australia and has been creating some delicious pizzas and pasta dishes for those who 'eat, live and love' Italian food. At La Porchetta, you can find almost any favourite Italian dish that you can think of on their menu; from pizzas, pastas, steaks, chicken parmigiana and seafood.

For pizzas, your list of choices are abundant. You can choose from Marinara, Vegetarian, Capricciosa, Napoletana and much more. Try their Aussie Pizza with mozzarella, smoked beef, topped with an egg on a homemade tomato base sauce. We tried the Chicken pizza that comes with slices of pineapple and a tangy BBQ sauce. We found that to be nice and simple and a great hit with kids.

If you wish to try something different, we highly recommend their one of a kind Focaccia Ripiena Cheese. This dish is like a covered pizza in heavy dough stuffed with garlic, basil, olive oil and of course mozzarella cheese which makes a perfect alternative to the usual garlic bread you would have as a starter.

Pollo e Avocado is the ultimate pasta dish for those who enjoy their Carbonara sauce to be just a little bit more richer. The full cream sauce and the fatty avocado texture hits the mark and goes astounding well with the pieces of lean chicken and generous serving of grated parmesan.

For a more waist-friendly version, try their Marinara pasta dish and you can choose to have one of the following three types of pasta to go with the sauce; Spaghetti, Penne or Fettucine. The mixed seafood, especially the mussels, on white wine and tomato sauce is well seasoned and very tasty.

Their high quality ingredients with sensible price tags make La Porschetta enjoyable to all and thus makes it fit for long family dinners and also children's birthday parties in the afternoon.They have 3 locations in Jakarta; Grand Indonesia, Kemang and Lebak Bulus and they are available for take-away and delivery.
