Very family friendly restaurant with a huge menu (which you can view online here) that includes pizza and pasta as well as meat, fish, risotto and salad dishes. There is also a kids’ menu that is a set price for a main course (there are around 8 dishes to choose from), a side dish, drink and ice cream scoop all included in the price. You can view the kids’ menu here.

There used to be 2 branches of La Porchetta in Christchurch but only this one in Riccarton remains. It doesn’t have a play area like the other branch used to but it does have colouring in.
