La Porchetta Sunshine - Food VIC

3 /5 Darrell Hamilton: Nice enough place, with a layout very similar to Rashays. If you’ve been to one, you’ll know the general vibe and setup. I tend to rate restaurants on three things: (1) food, (2) service, and (3) atmosphere. On this visit, everything sat comfortably in the “reasonable” category. Nothing stood out as exceptional, but nothing disappointed either. Not great, not terrible — just average. A bit of a pity, really, as it felt like a missed opportunity to turn first-time local diners into regulars. Entrée We started with the mozzarella sticks and eggplant chips. Both were enjoyable, especially the eggplant chips — crisp, crunchy, and full of flavour. These are definitely worth ordering. Mains For mains we chose the Pollo e Fungi, Gnocchi Basil Pesto, and two porterhouse steaks (one with mash, one with chips). Everything arrived together, which is always appreciated, and all dishes were piping hot with fresh-tasting ingredients. We couldn’t fault the mains — everyone thoroughly enjoyed what they ordered. Dessert We couldn’t resist trying the house desserts: tiramisu, chocolate volcano cake, and panna cotta. Clean plates all round and no complaints whatsoever. Overall The food and service were good, though not memorable. That said, as locals, we’re happy to give the place another go and hope it finds its stride. Second chances are earned — and we’re willing to offer one.

5 /5 Shai N: I tried their food ages ago on someones birthday. I hope the food tastes as nice as it was back then. There was parking around the restaurant and our table was reserved. As you can see we ordered quite a bit as it was about roughly 10 of us there. I did enjoy the steak I ordered.

5 /5 Kellie Mach: I hadn’t been back in a long time since moving from the western suburbs, but today I stopped by and ordered lasagna, steak with mushroom sauce, and a pizza. Every dish was fantastic, and the mushroom sauce tastes exactly as I remember—delicious and comforting. The staff were incredibly welcoming and made me feel right at home. A wonderful experience all around. Highly recommend.

5 /5 Jessica Gower: Amazing and friendly staff! I attending a birthday party in the venue room and the staff went above and beyond to cater to the group. They were always checking on us, making sure food was sorted and sooooo lovely to all the kids. I don’t generally make the time to review a venue but the team here are just fabulous. Highly recommend and thank you all for hosting my cousins 40th. She had a great day.

5 /5 Melinda Kuchenmeister: Popped in a couple of times as a group after doing a Costco shop. The place is spotless. The saff are lovely and the food is surprisingly very very good. The veal schnitzel was terrific and the salads pizzas and pastas have all been fabulous too
