This is one of the original La Porchettas, a staple in the Parnell dining scene. They have reasonably priced pizza and pasta. The atmosphere can sometimes be a little noisy, but it's a fun place to go with a group, or kids. My husband and I generally get an entree sized pasta dish each, and a large pizza to share, and we struggle to finish it. A favourite is the pesto gnocchi. You get to choose from a variety of fresh pasta's, and then choose your sauce, so there are plenty of different options. It's really not worth getting the smaller pizzas, there is only a couple of dollars difference between a small and the large, which is twice the size, and they are happy to put it in a box for you to take home if you don't eat it all.
