La Porchetta has had a special place in the hearts of families across Australia for decades now, and its St Lucia iteration remains a reliable favourite for those after consistently delicious and affordable Italian cuisine. La Porchetta has built their base of loyal followers on a dedication to authentic, regional Italian cooking, while at the same time being able to offer this in a casual, welcoming atmosphere at prices that other refined Italian eateries in Brisbane can’t match. The regional pizza specialties at La Porchetta on Hawken Drive are particularly recommended if you’re looking to try something done the way it is in the old country, like the Lombardian version with creamy gorgonzola, the Sicilian eggplant and provolone cheese specialty and a memorable prosciutto and parmesan beauty from Emilia Romagna. Of course the menu stretches much further than delicious pizza, however, from tasty starters to hearty meat, fish and vegetarian mains, onto some delectable desserts.
