About La Porchetta St Lucia

La Porchetta St Lucia serves hearty, unpretentious Italian comfort with massive portions and old-school hospitality. Longtime owner Tony runs the floor himself—greeting regulars by name, tweaking pizza toppings on the fly, and running plates of beef ragu or crisp arancini stuffed with cheese. Groups settle in for birthday dinners over BYO wine bottles without corkage fees, while university students slide through for affordable midday specials. Out front, alfresco tables keep things relaxed enough to bring along the dog. It hits the table hot and fast, right down to bowls of gnocchi gorgonzola and thin-crust pepperoni pies.

  • No-Corkage BYO: Groups can bring their own wine to long dinner tables with zero corkage fees.
  • Hands-On Hospitality: Owner Tony greets tables, accommodates custom orders, and delivers dishes himself.
  • Dog-Friendly Alfresco: Outdoor sidewalk tables welcome diners bringing their pet dogs along.

  • Spaghetti Pescatore

    It took a lot of skill to get our Spaghetti Pescatore and Chicken Scaloppine (smothered in mushroom sauce) as balanced and tender as they were. Absolutely amazing.
