La Porchetta Pollo Bar in City of London, Westminster

The food was really amazing and the service was great!!

Small, fine restaurant with great portions

Very good food, good service and reasonable prices.

Always good vibes. Great food. Top service

Great portions , authentic Italian and fast service. Amazing

I really recommend, it was my second time and the food, people are amazing!

Great welcome and shown to table upstairs …the restaurant was very busy but didn’t feel rushed. The food came quickly and it was delicious. We didn’t have a starter , we had carbonara and Gnocci with Gorgonzola …..both were lovely and full of flavour. It’s a wonderful buzzing , atmosphere and fantastic value for money …had a great bottle of Soave with the food which was also very well priced

Molten chocolate cake is delicious 😋😋

This place was a life saver as we had a dog, and they were very welcoming and seated us quickly even though they were extremely busy, The red wine was a little sharp, the white pinot was only OK, we ordered a bruschetta which sadly was terrible it was so hard I couldnt even bite into it but they took it off the bill so that was good, we had a ham and mushroom pizza which was ok, i think given they were so busy maybe the food is better when they are not so over run with customers overall an OK visit

They tables are squeezed together, I had literally no room to put my winter coat on. They prioritise making money over customer comfort. There was no seat on the toilet in the women's restroom. Wouldn't recommend. I recommend Franco Manca instead.

Busy friendly home cooking Italian food - exactly what we were hoping for, tasty and massive portions for very reasonable price

The real genuine Italian Restaurant. Simple means but the quality of the food was excellent. Nice wine as well. Would recommend this restaurant to anyone.

One of my fave Italian restaurants in London. Atmosphere is friendly & buzzing, food is delicious & service quick & friendly. A must visit whilst in Soho!

Top service, the servers are all attentive Good value for money for food Large portions I recommend!

Tiny busy place, but luckily they have an extra space downstairs. Cosy and authentic Italian place

I always go with my husband and we love everything. From the food to the very warm service. It's our little piece of heaven in London. A find!

La Porchetta Pollo Bar in Soho offers a classic Italian experience with hearty portions and great value. The menu is filled with traditional pizzas, pastas, and desserts like tiramisu. Cozy ambiance and friendly staff make it a welcoming spot, though some dishes can vary in quality. Great for casual dining! 🍕🍝

Awesome pizza and great service. They let me do a half and half pizza that was super tasty! Thanks.

Used to visit here a lot years ago, great to see it still thriving. Fusilli alla Campagnola as good as I remember. Can’t ever find it anywhere else?! Super atmosphere, top service.

We were three adults, three children and a baby asleep in a buggy. The staff bent over backwards to accommodate us without having to collapse the buggy and managed to fit us in. The service was friendly, the food was delicious and came quickly, and it was all very good value - around £11-13 for most pizza or pasta dishes. Generous portions and toppings. Buzzy atmosphere - crowded, quite loud music alongside animated conversation and an upbeat feel. Only slight drawback was the lack of a high chair when the one year old did wake up, but we managed. This was our second time at La Porchetta and we are glad to have found such a good and inexpensive restaurant in Soho. We will return again. I recommend the fusilli with zucchini, avacado and bacon - a delicious hint of Gorgonzola in the creamy sauce.

We've eaten here a few times over the years, the food is great and terrific value, the place is very unpretentious which is a bonus, it isn't a fine dining experience but it always has a busy and lively atmosphere and an authentic character.

Authentic food, great service friendly stuff. Will definitely go back.

While on our way to a restaurant elsewhere we came across this place which had people queued outside - waiting to be seated and it had a nice vibe to itself and the ambiance is very quirky. Managed by Italians, this place is very nice for pasta and their plate sizes have good portions. We ordered 5 different main dishes and 1 starters: 1) garlic bread - this was like a pizza but with no cheese and was not very tasty! 2) Insalata Di Pollo (Grilled Chicken Breast salad) - one of the most heaviest chicken salad i have had; the chicken was slightly grilled to its dry end but the plate size was humongous!! Loved it. 3) LINGUINE CREMA FUNGHI E TARTUFO - lovely pasta with cream , mushroom and truffle paste with extra cheese on top, grated at the table! Very authentic and delicious. 3) TAGLIATELLE SALMONE - salmon based pasta 4) mixed sea food Pasta which also was nice as well In addition, for drinks, 2 in our group had a small bottle of red wine and a negroni as well. The bill wasn’t bad and for 4 people was around £85/-

Brutal honest. Cheap food, big portions and low average quality. If you enjoy a place where reggaeton is blasting while the waiters are screaming and arguing in Italian you should definitely give it a try.

I think I have found my Italian place. The team very friendly and fast on servicing. The food is incredible and the price is great.

Cleaningspray on my cold calzone what a combination. Dont clean the tables with cleaning spray while someone next to it is eating… thy put back the calzone in the oven and it was okay… them my empty glass got taken away and get the bill without asking.. not what you call service

FIVE STARS review in EVERY Way. I was in London with 5 friends and we ended up going here TWICE. The apps, the pizza, the wine, the bolognese all off the charts, and the service (Luigi) and hospitality they all showed us was even better. Thank you.

Excellent food and attention. Highly recommended

Good place right next to Chinatown, Italian food served by Italians, the very friendly owner invites you to come in, the food was delicious and abundant. A very good detail is that they grate the cheese to your liking at the table. It has left us very satisfied. We ordered a penne amatriciana and a tagliatelle salmone. We spent 35 pounds on 2 soft drinks and two pastas.

Wonderful food, very good pistachio pizza, house-made lasagna was spectacular, spaghetti bolognese, I can't even mention it.

Usual good service & tasty food

Amazing food - love this place. Our usual go to!

Ordered food. Never got my main, no apologies from the staff just attitude! AVOID THIS PLACE

I usually don't like to write or anything like that but I ate there a few days ago after being there once and I have to say that I ordered a baked pizza as not a regular margarita like the one that fills it inside with stuff The taste was very bad, it was not cooked on the inside, the cheese was still hard and cold from the bricks and not melted, the pizza sauce was cold, you feel like you are eating something warm on the outside and on the inside, as if you took a pizza from the fridge. He was very resentful of the pizza and not the most happy to see him prepare the things, I wouldn't say he made my dish from the heart and it's an unpleasant feeling because you see him working What's most annoying is that I woke up in the morning with severe stomach pains and I won't say more because you probably know what I went through all morning, in any case it's a shame that it's like this, he won't go back there again

Large portions. Cheap. Always busy. Very simple food. Doesn’t really taste anything good.

Great food, huge portions. Great prices, especially for London. Friendly and accommodating staff!

Great Italian food at a great price! I come here once every two weeks

I thought the staff was gonna hit me. I tired to communicate with the staff, and they were not receptive. I had to steal napkins. My stomach made me regret it - Lindsey,

I have come here frequently for years and love the place. My usual order is either Tagliatelle Salmone or Pecorina pizza. I could eat both of these daily. Upon my recent visit, I discovered my favourite member of staff 'Sergio' that had the best sense of humour, has left. This place is just not the same without Sergio. I'm sad, because I miss the banter and laughs he brought to the place.

My favourite place for food. Unpretentious, authentic and big portions.

Another 5 star meal, we have never been disappointed. The staff are always so helpful, and the food brilliant at reasonable prices.

Great food, big portions, polite staff, recommending

We stopped by for a pre Theatre dinner and we wasn’t disappointed! We loved the restaurant, it was authentic and the staff were fun and attentive! The food was absolutely amazing, the best Pizza I’ve ever had! My Mum had the Chicken Salad which was huge, packed with Chicken, olives, Avocado, fresh tomatoes and balsamic and more! The fresh pasta dishes looked amazing and were huge too, you won’t go hungry! Thank you to the staff for a lovely evening and we will definitely be back :)

Great authentic Italian food! Great atmosphere! It's like you'd magically transferred to Italy! Recommend!

I go here very often, the food is homely and made with a lot of love. The staff is very cordial too!

It should have been a five star instead of a four. Had to queue for around 20mins on a Saturday night, that’s not too bad for a Saturday night in central London. The pizza was amazingly fresh and delicious, very flavourful and the dough was easy to bite. Risotto was a bit bland, but it was alright after I added pepper and salt. Overall the biggest plus point of the food is the portion and price. The pizza is £12, and Rissoto is £13.50. Now, we were given seats at the basement which had no phone signal at all. Saw they they did have wifi connection but staff refused to give us the password. Personally i understand why they may not want the customers to have the wifi but it was quite disappointing as I urgently needed the wifi for a few quick emails. Overall I would definitely recommend this place, but just have your expectation that this is a four star instead of five.

Typical of many restaurants in London. You're paying a premium for the location and not the food. That being said the food was ok, but quite overpriced. In a large city like London, I have no doubt that there are better alternatives.

Perfect Delicious Italian style pizza and pasta. Staff are very friendly. Services was fast and portions are so big. Really highly recommended

Very affordable Italian food in soho area. Portion of dishes are big, we packed to takeaway at the end of meal. Staff are nice and friendly as well:)

Decent food, friendly waiters, rude waitress.

Amazing Italian food customer service is really fun and I love their Italian I wish I can have the playlist And the food is super tasty. I enjoyed the desert and the guy with the beard is very funny. Sweet my friend really likes him. Next time we have vacation in the UK, we will be coming back to this restaurant.

Best little pizza place in soho!

The best authentic Italian food you can buy....gorgeous staff and even more gorgeous pasta and pizzas, and the garlic pizza is a revelation(TONS of garlic in a tomatoe sauce)!!! I'm tempted nit to post this review just cos I don't want to wait any longer for a seat next time I go.

the food is very delicious. the cheese is really tasty

One of my favourite places to eat in Soho. The food is good and plentiful, and the atmosphere is loud and boisterous.

Generally La Porchetta is worth it for decent pricing in Central. But service is mixed, sometimes lovely other times so pissed off it feels odd paying for it! Today the staff were particularly arrogant. Laughing at customers in their face - assuming they don't speak Italian. Then big ass yawning, flirting, sulking. Not cool. Sort your people out because this place is really needed in Central! I've been coming to La Porchetta since the 80s, it used to be amazing, big time. Please do your best to uphold, you are loved, I and other Londoners need you xxxx

I was there just with friends honestly I would’ve recommended another Italian place. The customer service was extremely rude and inhospitable towards my party. The restaurant was quite empty And we wanted to move our table. The lady was so rude and arrogant that honestly it made me not even wanna return to this place. The food was good however, the bad customer service made it this terrible. The waitresses were also talking about our table very Noticeably. Honestly, just got to another Italian place that has better customer service.

This Italian restaurant has surprised me a lot I thought it was going to be the typical London one with a moderate proportion and also super expensive but I have pleasantly found one of the best Italian restaurants. Very fresh their food and delicious, I would definitely come back.

We have been in London for two days only and we came twice to this Italian restaurant. Besides the best food , they have the best staff. Try the lasagna , the spaghetti … the pizzas of coirse. ❤️ Lucca, Luigi and Luna - if you are in soho , you can skip the musical and come see these guys.

Perfect little pizzeria in heart of london

I've been to this place about 3-4 times. The food is always great, I always order tomato base sauce for pasta but I wanted to try something new and went for a creamy milk based one. I was really excited about it, but when I tasted it, I felt it was very salty although the sauce was quite lovely. I ate more than half of it just not to be rude for sending it back. I asked for my bill and saw a service charge was included, I didn't want to pay as the service was never ever good, the waitress is always with a neutral never smiling kind of face, haven't felt welcome ever since I came here the first time. When I said I didn't want to pay the service charge, she said something was wrong? I said yeah I felt that the pasta was a bit salty and didn't say anything because I don't want to be rude. She said that I should've told her if I didn't like it right before paying is not the time when I tell her in a very rude manner. I paid for my meal though I only removed the service charge. I wasn't even thanked for the visit after paying just an annoyed faced waitress. I have worked in hospitality myself but I've never been rude to customers because it's always customers first, they are always right. Very very bad experience @ service.

There is a lot of competition for good pizza in the centre of the capital and La Porchetta may win the prize. Busy venue with a friendly family vibe. Very fair prices.

Small spot with tables super close together. Food was just ok

Spanish: we are from Spain, they treated us very well even in Spanish. The food is good and the portions are very generous. We all had to ask to take away what we had left. The tiramusu was also shared between 4 of us, it was very large and very good. You leave comfortable and satisfied with what you order.

Honestly how is this place real- cheap and huge portions in the middle of Covent Garden. And SO SO tasty. Meraviglioso.

pizza tricolore is delicious. Service is quick and the staff is nice and polite.

Very friendly and professional staff, pizza is amazing and seafood is cooked properly. A little Italian gem in the middle of soho.

Excellent Italian restaurant with huge dishes (almost 1kg of Sorrento gnocchi and 300g of pasta with ragù) at very reasonable prices

Tiny restaurant but don’t let that put you off we’ve just come back from Italy and it was like we’d travelled back there! So authentic and the food was spot on, and it might be a small place but they certainly make up for the portions me and husband couldn’t finished it all, huge is an understatement, great service, great vibe!

A little Italian corner in London. Authentic Neapolitan trattoria/pizzeria. Abundant dishes, welcoming environment, friendly staff. Go there!

Very tiny but so worth it. Host was a true italian giving the restaurant a great authentic feel. Food was so good that even when full you wanted to eat more

Amazing food, huge portions, VERY well priced, fun staff & very accommodating. 10/10 I will be back!

Great food (had the maradona), great vibe. Perfect spot to go to before or after catching a show.

Very nice atmosphere, delicious pizza, friendly service. The pizzeria reflects the Italian atmosphere. Very low prices for high quality in central London.

I’ve been there twice now. Food is okay. Nothing special but worth the price. But to be honest, the staff are so RUDE. They try to be polite, but they aren’t. The only one who seems friendly is the pizza chef. He even says goodbye when we leave. The rest needs to improve their communication and politeness skills. Even the manager.

Noisy and vibrant (in a good way) it feels like eating in Italy. Great pizza for a good price.

Stumbled upon an absolute gem of a restaurant; the pasta was perfect and not over cooked, light and delicious. Our two dishes were beautifully curated with flavour and style, the portion size was also excellent.

A really nice Italian restaurant in a slightly more secluded alley. You had to wait at the door for a while for a table to become available, the atmosphere was good, of course a little noisy, people happily talked over good food. I recommend trying it, the price and quality were really good

Amazing place, we went to celebrate my little daughter's birthday and we loved it, the food is delicious and the portions are big, the staff was very friendly and helpful, we will definitely be back, highly recommended

I ordered a homemade lasagna, not good...

Great little Italian! This is now going to my go-to place. The portions are huge, we ordered starters and a main which in hindsight, should’ve just ordered mains. Food was excellent.

I recently dined at La Porchetta Pollo Bar in London, and overall, it was a delightful experience. The restaurant offers a cozy and welcoming atmosphere, perfect for a relaxed meal with family or friends. The menu is diverse, with plenty of options to satisfy different tastes. I opted for the Maradona pizza, and it did not disappoint. The crust was perfectly crispy, and the tomato sauce had a fresh, tangy flavor that paired wonderfully with the gooey mozzarella, cherry tomatoes and fresh rockets topped in middle. The service was friendly and attentive, though there were moments when it felt a bit slow, especially during the busier times. However, the staff made up for it with their warm demeanor and helpful suggestions. The only downside was that the seating felt a bit cramped, especially during peak hours, but it didn't take away from the overall enjoyment of the meal. If you're looking for a tasty and satisfying Italian meal in London, La Porchetta Pollo Bar is definitely worth a visit. I’ll be returning to try more from their menu!

I was there two weeks ago, I needed a good Italian pizza after so many quick sandwiches, sandwiches, mac hamburgers in London... and I found Italian Pizza, the real ones!! Neapolitan!! What a discovery, truly rich, when I return I will repeat without a doubt. They are very friendly, it was TakeAway, we waited 12 minutes, everything in 10!

reasonable price with nice seafood pasta! Highly recommended!

Only place in London that makes me full and tastes amazing

Great mood! The food is really good and the atmosphere is really open.

Very delicious, 100% Italian and cheap

What a great place to go! We had pizza and pasta and it was amazing, the pasta was a really huge portion size and very tasty ( we had the carbonara) our pizzas were top notch. Great vibes at this restaurant and the staff is amazing. Absolutely recommended!

Good margarita pizza and lasagnes by best value

Delicious pizza made by an Italian pizza chef, friendly and fast staff. Unexpected in London!

I love this place! Really nice authentic Italian food, very good price and great quality

Authentic pizza , yummy Gnocchi , great value for money

Was at a nearby show and wanted to eat Italian but don’t know many good places that aren’t chains. Saw this place and took a chance. So pleased we did it was excellent. We ordered a pizza, a pasta dish plus a beer and an Aperol Spritz all for £43. The service was very friendly. Will definitely come back.

Whilst the food was excellent the waiting staff were more interested in serving tables with young ladies on them rather than spreading their attention equally amongst the clientele. Probably not be returning.

Such a pleasant place to be, really good food, kind waiters, always willing to help you and actually really quick service and at a very affordable price. Our experience there was really nice

Cheap and cheerful. Ignore the allegations of the cockroach infestation

Nice atmosphere and friendly Staff. Food was very good.

Really excellent food and very plentiful, the waiters are very kind and friendly

Italian restaurant in Soho, with late closing for dinner, great if you come from a musical show or d3l Royal Opera and leave late, plus it's authentic Italian food and it's delicious!!! Very fast service too!!

We ordered Milanese with spaghetti, eggplant parmigiana and lasagna, all 10/10
