Dining Out - La Porchetta

Went out to La Porchetta on Tuesday for a quick bite. We've been going to La Porchetta for many years after they opened in our old home town of Townsville - we're big fans of their Garlic Cheese Foccacia pizzas!!!

So, we trotted off to get our usual fare. The restaurant on Hume Street is fairly accessible but it's al fresco style isn't ideally suited to Toowoomba's winters - we had hoped for a nice warm table but with cafe curtains on the outside, it was always going to be a big ask. That said, the table we had was fine.

The girls were only after a light meal, so our meal consisted of:

• Small Garlic Foccacia - 6/10 (was a little burnt)
• Small Hawaiian Pizza (Hannah & Sal) - 5/10 (was also a little burnt and was very doughy)
• Main Pollo & Funghi Tortellini (Mark) - 7/10

Both pizza's were slightly burnt so perhaps the pizza oven wasn't setup ok, but it did spoil both dishes - neither girls being paticularly fond of "burnt to a crisp". The pasta dish was generally well presented and went down well.

Service wasn't ideal - we asked for some colouring in gear for Hannah from the waitress - but it never showed up. To be honest, after placing our order, we never got bothered by staff again.
