Book NowAbout La Porchetta
A dependable Surfers Paradise staple on Orchid Avenue, La Porchetta takes the stress out of group holiday dining with fast service and big Italian portions. Tables fill quickly with crispy chicken parmigiana, pumpkin risotto, and half-and-half pizzas that keep split dining parties content. A dedicated vegan section covers plant-based cravings with plates like penne vegano, while chili oil sits ready on tables instead of commercial hot sauce. Late kitchen hours keep the door open well past standard dinner seatings, winding down with house-made tiramisu.
- Half-and-Half Pizza Options: Build custom pies with split toppings so everyone at the table gets their preference without compromise.
- Dedicated Vegan Menu: An entire section features plant-based Italian plates like penne vegano alongside traditional pasta and seafood.
- Late Kitchen Hours: The kitchen runs late into the night, making it an easy drop-in spot after other dining rooms close.
