PORKETTA in Cheltenham

Dropped in for lunch on a colleagues recommendation, and I will be going back! Great food, great hospitality and very generous portions. Thank you!

Mamma mia, che roba! If You want to taste real Italian food GO THERE!! 100% The Roman Suppli is what I used to eat all the time as a kid in Rome ❤️ Recoomended 100%

WOW! Stopped for a sandwich off the back of a recommendation from my Italian friends, fantastic, the pork is insane, and served by a very nice chap. Will be visiting again

Cannot rate this place highly enough, the most stunning food I've had for years! Everything tastes incredible, seasoned so well and so fresh. Great value for money too with the portion sizes and the owners were such friendly people. So blown away by this restaurant and will be recommending to everyone,THE best in Cheltenham and Gloucestershire!

Lovely place, delicious food 5*****

Popped in for a quick lunch to takeaway, insane portion sizes, and incredibly delicious food. The best Italian I’ve ever had!

Amazazing food. Would say the palma chicken pizza is thee best pizza I’ve ever had. Amazing 20/10

Absolutely banging. Arancini was fried perfectly, no grease at all. The Porchetta classic left me wishing I had another belly. Owner is super friendly and I will be back.

It's delicious and there's plenty of it. The couple's personalities are also great. The food was delicious, but I was disappointed that the center of the arancini was not piping hot, and the pesto sauce was a little salty. Nice food, nice people. Enjoyable. The meat inside the Ragu arancini I would have liked hotter and the pesto spaghetti was just a little over salty.

Amazing people and amazing food! Try the panzerotti, it’s a deep-fried calzone, there’s a very good vegan option with different vegetables! Great arancini and vegetarian options too! We went twice while visiting Cheltenham.

Simply the best takeaway in Cheltenham! Every dish is amazing and they are very friendly!

The food is fantastic, especially the tiramisu and Parma vodka. Lovely family-run business 👌

Will be hard to find a better pork sandwich in all of England!

Last week I Tried the chicken parm and tiramisu here, this place is without a doubt the best tasting and most authentic italian restaurant in the UK, the owners are really nice too. Definitely give this place a try if you're in the area!

The best fusion of Italian and Spanish food. Their menu is a true standout, with dishes like the Lasagna, Arancini, and Special Porchetta Roll proving to be absolute must-tries. Don't miss their decadent desserts, especially the Cannoli and Biscoff Tiramisu. I am confident this will quickly become your favourite Cheltenham takeaway – I will even change my name if it doesn't! My husband and I are eager to explore more of their delicious dishes :)

Was serving me very handsome guy 😂

We were looking for a bite to eat for lunch and saw Porketta’s great reviews and stopped by. The food was amazing , I honestly wish we had an authentic place like this near us in London! The owner was so welcoming and friendly. We had our two year old with us and they even had a high chair for him to use! The penne alla vodka was incredible and the tiramisu was also amazing. If we were locals we would definitely be there all the time!

I have ate ALOT of amazing pork in my lifetime but this has to be some of the most mouthwatering and delicious, it was a slice of heaven. The Pasta with cheese and cream was also cooked perfectly and full of flavour. I will 100% be back to try more of your delicious food, Amazing setup and lovely Staff too. A must Try in Cheltenham.

Best porketta in Cheltenham!! Italian was like coming back to italy for a while. My new favourite place!!!

my favourite place in cheltenham! Whenever i go i have to get an aranchini. The pizza is also a favourite of mine, the crust is the perfect texture! Service is always so friendly and welcoming.

Excellent food I highly recommend Thanks to all the staff ☺️

Great food and lovely people! Couldn't recommend it more.

Hands down the best pizza in town, the owners are friendly and genuine people. Deserves more attention and support!

Amazing food! Our first time eating there and we were not disappointed. The pork was so succulent and the Biscoff Tiramisu was out of this world. Highly recommend this place 👍👍👍

I Called in to the shop yesterday for the first time, I found the place to be really clean and inviting, the menu looked amazing the owner took the time to talk me through each dish, most of the food is made at the shop by the owners. My rating for this small family independent run shop is 10/10 well worth a visit.

Great food. Authentic feel. Amazing service.

Had my first porchetta ciabatta today !! Wow. !! Sooo tasty ! And worth the money !! Will definitely be back !

Had Lasagna here while visiting and it was amazing and my partner had a seasonal pumpkin pasta. You rarely ever get this level of flavour in italian food in the UK even in much bigger places. I highly recommend! The owner is incredibly nice as well and it felt like eating in a friends kitchen eventhough there were only two seats. I wish him and his wife all the success, they deserve it.

Visited Cheltenham for the first time today and was treated with amazing service and hospitality! The food was amazing and I loved the Italian music!! Please please please give these amazing people more recognition and visit, they deserve all the ☆☆☆☆☆ !!

Great food, all homemade and very authentic. Really friendly owner who was very welcoming. Highly recommend.

10/10, all food was delish, service was so friendly and welcoming! Fully recommend.

Amazing 🤩 the Porchetta ciabatta and tiramisu are both incredible!

😋 panzarotto and arancini I will back for the tiramisu nice porchetta meat too. Love it. Grazie Diego

We have ejoyed a wonderful and very tasty meal from this super friendly and efficient Italian take away that deserves to be placed as the best eateries in Cheltenham. I had a fantastic ciabatta porchetta to die for and excellent arancini and my companion had a suberb lasagna. This place is unique and the right place if you wish to taste real Italian food. We shall go back for more.

A gem of a place, Cheltenham is lucky to have such an authentic place serving delicious home made italian treats! Very generous portion sizes, delicious food and great service. We had the panzerotti bites and porchetta ciabatta which I would love to try again but wont be able to resist the other delights on the menu next time. If you aren't local to the area, Porketta is reason in itself to visit Cheltenham!

You can't get any italian hand made food like this anywhere in Gloucestershire,Diego and Elena re the best at they job. Thanks a lotv

One porketta a day, takes the hungryness away😅

Authentic Quality Italian Food.The Lasagna was layer upon layer of quality lean light beef mincemeat with a truly delicious sauce .The Arancini featured Mozzarella infused with spinach to create a delightfully tasty and balanced dish 😋 . Can't wait until Diago and Elena open a little Bistro to eat in further down the street . In the meantime may the good citizens of Cheltenham enjoy the culinary delights of this little gem.

This place have the best pasta in town. We had last night Cheese cream pasta an the porketa pasta and this was amazing. If you live here or if you just visit Chelteham try this place and you will back.

Great dishes with a homely feel. Good vegetarian choices too. Will come again

Great food good prices and the guys who own the place are amazing people!!!! The lasagne omg! Definitely recommend 👌 Elena and her husband also welcomed my dog inside with no problem at all! Great vibes Great food!

so so good, feels like a bit of a hidden gem! if you only get one thing make sure it's the porchetta ciabatta, one of the tastiest things I've eaten!

5***** all around, best quality take out, the lasagne is an absolute treat. Highly recommend 👌🏻

Just visiting Cheltenham so looked up food options and Porketta came us as the most highly rated and understandably so! We had the suppli, porketta ciabatta and pistachio tiramisu and thoroughly enjoyed it all! The owners were a pleasure to talk to and were very welcoming even taking the time to explain the dishes in more detail. It’s clear to see how much the owners love what they do! Porketta is absolutely worthy of a visit if you’re in Cheltenham, great value for money too, definitely recommend to anyone!

There are places where you eat delicious food.. and there is this place, on a whole other level! Super friendly Italian family running it together (Ego in ratatouille, tasting scene 😊)

I visited with my young son, and Diego the Chef/Owner answered all of his many questions on how the food was prepared and why. We had the Lasagne and a Panzerotti, I highly recommend both!

Absolutely amazing!!! The food is so tasty! We will definitely be coming again! 👌🏼

Wonderful fresh, homemade italian food - we are obsessed with the spaghetti aglio olio, but the pasta with vegetables is also delicious, and we can't wait to try the rest! A hidden gem in Cheltenham!

One of the best pastas we've tried in a while! We got the lasagna and the creamy chicken tagliatelle, they were both cooked perfectly al dente! The owners are great people with an excellent vibe! Super recommended!!

A great choice, it was recommended to us and we were really fascinated. We found the porchetta and tiramisu surprising, we will return soon.

Wonderful, homemade and delicious food!!

We came back for our last meal in the UK here and ordered a porchetta ciabatta, chicken parma, and nutella panzerotti. The food is delicious, prepared with pride and care from traditional Italian family recipes. In Asia, there is a roast pork dish with a similar finish as the porchetta. But one special herb used here sets it apart. The chicken parma was crunchy outside and moist inside, as it should be. For dessert, panzerotti was handmade and decadent. Everything is fresh. I recommend eating here on the spot and not taking away or ordering on the app, the delay might destroy the goodness and won't do it justice. I hope the lovely owners succeed and expand their eatery to have more sitting space inside and outside.

My work sent me to Cheltenham for two days and on the first day for lunch I decided to try Porketta through deliveroo. Food arrived promptly, very well packaged but most importantly super tasty! Next day for lunch I ordered through deliveroo again and not a single bite disappointed! Before leaving Cheltenham I decided to order one more time and bring it home so I can share it with my wife and let her try how amazing Porketta’s food is! Thank you so much keep up!

Freshly fried spinach and cheese arancini was crispy, rich and absolutely delicious! Definitely will be back to try other items on the menu. They accept both cash or card, and service is super friendly. Really great place!

After seeing the lovely reviews, and needing a delivery takeaway, decided to try. Having only trying the porchetta ciabatta, so can’t comment on other dishes, but my husband and I were very disappointed, the bread was very hard and the pork tasted like it had been frozen and defrosted, very watery, looked nothing like the posted pictures, very disappointing for the high price, was expecting something special. Delivery arrived very quick.

It's a small, family-run and friendly shop. I ate beef ragu tagliatelle and rice croquettes. The pasta was al dente, especially the sauce. People from the delivery service come here frequently, which shows how popular it is with the neighbors. Era davvero delizioso!!

Everything was perfect. Would definitely recommend coming here for some real authentic Italian food. The owners are so freindly and helpful. The Tiramisu is delicious and homemade, a must buy. The next time I am in Cheltenham I won't go anywhere else for Italian food. Thank you 😊

Real Italian food, delicious and genuine!! Porchetta was exactly the same as I would eat in my hometown, same for lasagna with bolognese ragù and panzerotti (wonderful) and... Biscoff tiramisù was special!!! Stunning... Da leccarsi i baffi!! Crea dipendenza 😅 portions very big 👌🏻

First time trying! Will 100% be back, delicious food and lovely owners! Authentic Italian!

Stunning food and perfect tiramisu. Ordered here after seeing their food on Instagram a few weeks back and it was so worth it. If you're looking for tasty Italian food in Cheltenham, look no further

I would highly recommend this place. The service exceptional, staff is friendly, the food is great - especially if you like Italian cuisine. Great price per value.

The most amazing food & service, going above & beyond with everything!!

Oh my god!!!! The food from this place is spectacular!!!!! We ordered take away and there was not a single thing we did not like. The pasta was cooked al dente. It still had some bite. The cheese cream sauce was very rich and tasty. Love the chicken Parma. The chicken and pesto arancini was great. Loved the strong pesto flavour. The best thing by far was the porchetta ciabatta. As soon as I had a bite I was transported back to Italy. Absolutely delicious. I just wish I was staying in Cheltenham 1 more day to order from them again.

Amazing and tasty homemade food, the porchetta sandwich bangs! lovely staff as well. I will definitely be back 😁

Amazing place with class food from top hosts!

Great little Italian, the food was cooked to perfection - really succulent and tasty. The owners were super friendly and very welcoming

Absolutely amazing authentic Italian food. Everything we tried was incredible and made fresh. Owners were really friendly. Will definitely be coming back soon!

Lovely people and lovely food !

Excellent home made italian food and excellent service! We would definitely come back again!

Authentic Italian food, owners are really nice and service is great, filling portions and flavors stand out!

Superb authentic Italian fare. Delicious porchetta roll delicately rolled and slow cooked with fennel and herbs. Unctuous arancini and rice croquettes. Generous sauce and cheese on the pizza. Just a shame not more room to dine in. Have to come back to try more.

Honestly, the nicest Italian food I’ve had. The owners are some of the kindest people I’ve ever met. Can’t wait to visit again!

Absolutely wonderful food - the porchetta ciabatta is the best sandwich I've had in cheltenham. Well worth going for, even if its out of your way!

Five star food, authentic Italian recipes! We travelled from London to Cheltenham and had Porketta on our list of places to try, we were not disappointed. We had a lovely time meeting Diego and chatting to him about the business. We ordered the Porketta, Cheese & vegetable focaccia and the Suppli - I would highly recommend all of the above. Also they had delicious biscuits to go with coffee afterwards! We will definitely return and need to try the Tiramisu.

Great food. The Porchetta Roll was marvelous. I will return to try the rest of the Menu.

I have never been to Cheltenham before but I would go again just for this food! A small business run by an incredibly friendly husband and wife where the service is just as amazing as the food they serve. Would vote even higher than 5 stars if I could 😁👍

Lovely fresh and quality food and great service

Fantastic arancini and tiramisu, friendliness and kindness of the owners at the top!!!!!

First time ordering from here & the food was outstanding! Portions are very generous. We had Creamy pasta, Parma chicken, panzerotto with chorizo, arancini, croquettes, tiramisu & Nutella panzerotto - all of it was faultless, we will definitely order from here again.

The food is excellent, and the warmth and dedication of the owner/chef couple that run it more than make up for the missing tables. Slow food. No corners cut. Completely uncompromising quality. It is a must in Cheltenham.

Grabbed a takeaway from here to share with my mum, sister and partner. We had the lasagna which was amazing and so authentic - large portion too! The arancini balls , also delicious and the porketta roll/ ciabatta - wow - so much delicious meat. All came with dips to accompany which went so well. We also had the pistachio tiramisu homemade by Elena which was incredible. My sister doesn't normally like it, but went back the next day to buy the biscoff it was so good! :) :) Lovely takeaway and staff, would highly recommend!

we had a deliveroo from this restaurant and straight away saw it was a family run restaurant, amazing service, food was fabulous - will definitely be visiting the restaurant to see the atmosphere for ourselves - thank you for making a birthday dinner amazing! 💗💗

A little gem of a place serving authentic home made Italian food like nowhere else in town. We sampled a few of the dishes and were blown away by how delicious they were. The team working here are such a lovely family and you can really tell they put love into everything they do. Thank you for bringing a little taste of Italy to Cheltenham - we can’t wait to return! 🇮🇹

Myself and my partner popped in for a late lunch after I discovered Porketta on Instagram. Starting with the service, this family run business gave us a really warm welcome, and prepped our meal fresh, right in front of us. And the dishes we chose were some of the best food we have had in a very long time. The depth of flavour and the freshness was such a treat and we are very pleased to have found a place where quality and talent is exactly what you pay for! We will absolutely be back :).

Very friendly service and amazing authentic Italian food. Highly recommend.

Good food and lovely people! Will definitely be back soon!

Authentic Italian Porchetta. The flavours were amazing. We chatted to the chef and his wife who told us they are sent over specially from Italy and wow you can really taste the wild fennel flavours and such a warm welcome. Thank you.

Best lunch in a long time! What a discovery - genuinely great Italian food hidden away in Cheltenham. Started with the porchetta, which was incredible with herbs sourced directly from Italy, but I'm going to be working my way through the rest of them menu over the next weeks. So much amazing food to look forward to trying!

Proper homemade Italian food, full of flavour and fresh. Highly recommend 👌

Absolutely killer food every time.

Beautifully cooked pork. Savoury, herby and full of cracking textures. Can hear whilst Christmas shopping, will return!

Amazing authentic Italian food! If you have the chance to visit Cheltenham, this is definitely a stop you must visit! Amazing hand made porchetta who learnt from the masters in the Italian villages!

AMAZING food, and AMAZING service ! Super friendly everyone is really lovely and chatty and polite! Wish there was a place like this in Northamptonshire (where I’m from )🙈 my partner who lives in Gloucester said he’s definitely going to come back again ! Thankyou so much ❤️

My fiance and I went to Porketta today, we were greeted friendly by Diego. I had a Porketta Ciabatta and cheesy garlic bread. It was phenomenal both in taste and portion size. My fiancee had taleggio cheese and vegetable focaccia sandwich with mozzarella sticks. Her experience the same as mine. The cappuccinos we had were fantastic. Definitely going again for a lunch in Cheltenham. A bit more expensive then other places, but the portion size, the taste as well as your experience at porketta is worth it.

Absolutely amazing biscoft tirramasu. Definitely will be picking up another 1 when I'm passing. great guy

Been seeing their stuff on my insta feed for a while now and keep meaning to try it. I went in on Monday and had the porchetta ciabata………. Wow! If I had to eat that everyday for the rest of my life I would not be sad. It was insanely good. Came back today (Wednesday) and had the lasagna 10/10 Suppli 10/10 and the Parma chicken 8/10 only real quibble was I felt the Parma chicken could have been hotter. Genuinely if you go there you will not be disappointed. Also have the pannetoni (probs spelt wrong) and custard to eat but I’m currently in a food coma. 😂😂😂 Owners are lovely, genuinely an absolute diamond sat in cheltenhams lower high street.

As a chef my self, i was extremely impressed of the quality and flavours, I've tried so far the lasagna and was mouthwatering, the porchetta was probably the best pork I've ever tasted and to finish it off i had a homemade tiramisu and an espresso, higly recommend a visit or a takeaway, the staff are super friendly and welcoming, a real taste of Italy's best. Well done.

Amazing proper italian food! I tried the special of the week. Gnocchi with mushroom absolutely banging!

Stopped by for a coffee, arancini and a porchetta ciabatta. All delicious, especially the pork, beautifully tender with proper crackling. Took a biscoff tiramisù to enjoy later, which was to die for. Will definitely be back!

I have been into this place twice this week and probably 5 times since they opened. I've had a variety of the foods and all of it delicious. Its all fresh and the tirimasu is addictive. It's the best italian in cheltenham. The staff themselves are incredibly friendly every time. This place has very quickly become a favourite.
