Minestrone Soup, Meatballs, Beef Strip Salad, Vegetarian Antipasto Pizza, Italian Pizza, Spaghetti Bolognese. Is there anything better to warm you up on a cold winter's day? Or to fill you up after a sports match or day out with family or friends.

Weekends (and weekdays) holidays can be drawn out, long and boring and the best of us can struggle to amuse ourselves, the children and family and friends.
What if I told you that I had a solution for you?
How does going to the pictures and then sitting down for a hot meal sound? Or a round of shopping and then some great food and a drink?
Village Cinemas Werribee has just been renovated and made spectacular during a major overhaul of
Pacific Werribee shopping centre. It has plenty of cinemas and fantastic Gold class viewing also. Located just 10 minutes from Werribee train station, the cinemas and shopping center are easy to locate.
After you have enjoyed your movie or shopping, a very short walk (not even 5 minutes) away, you can then sit down to a hot, tasty meal of Italian favourites at
La Porchetta in
Pacific Werribee shopping centre (also known as Werribee Plaza shopping center).
To find the restaurant, just head down the stairs (if coming from the cinemas) and around the corner towards the food court. Or find a park in the carpark near Hungry Jacks and head for the foodcourt entry. If parking elsewhere in the shopping centre, simply ask someone for directions to
La Porchetta in the newest food court.
The new restaurant (it was once in a different location outside the shopping centre before renovations) has two entry points for customer convenience. One inside the shopping center and one outside. The store is long rather than wide or square but this does not affect the comfort of customers dining in it at all. The tables are set out so that there are simply shorter tables in one area and longer one down the middle. It is very well laid out.
There are two kitchen areas, one main kitchen where the bulk of the meals are prepared and served from and a second where the pizza is prepared and where children can take part in their very own "Mini Chef Make Your Own Pizza Parties". During these parties, they will get to learn to make their own pizza using fresh ingredients and cook them in the special pizza ovens before sitting down to enjoy them together.
The Pizza parties include such extras as drinks (juice, water or soft drink), a birthday cake, birthday invitations, a chef's apron and hat for the birthday child and a certificate and gift certificate.
Please see
HERE for more details on the Mini Chef Make your Own Pizza Parties.
The kitchens are clean and the dining areas are also clean and well laid out. The dining area is open planned so you are able to watch what is happening in the restaurant. The seating is comfortable and the decor is fresh and bright and gives the store a cheery feel.
