La Porchetta Camden Town is a casual Italian restaurant at 74 to 77 Chalk Farm Road, within easy reach of Camden Market and the Roundhouse. Its lively, informal dining room is suited to families, groups and diners looking for a relaxed meal before a show. A broad menu of pizza, pasta and familiar Italian dishes makes it possible to share several courses or choose one generous main plate.
Antipasti include arancini filled with tomato and mozzarella, fried baby mozzarella, calamari and fresh stone baked bread with garlic or traditional bruschetta toppings. The house sharing board combines Italian cured meats, mozzarella, grilled vegetables, olives and bread. Caprese, Parma ham with buffalo mozzarella and fresh salads provide lighter ways to begin.
Pizza ranges from a simple Margherita to the house Porchetta topped with sausage, minced pork and ham. Quattro Formaggi, Diavola, Frutti di Mare and Bufala cover cheese, spice, seafood and fresh mozzarella, while the Vegetariana and Ortolana use artichoke, peppers, spinach, mushrooms and grilled vegetables. Calzone and gluten free pizza bases broaden the choice further.
Pasta sauces can be paired with different shapes, with choices such as seafood marinara, Bolognese, carbonara, arrabbiata, meatballs, clams and wild mushrooms. Baked lasagne, risotto, chicken Milanese, salmon and calamari extend the menu beyond pizza and pasta. Homemade tiramisu, lemon sorbet, gelato, affogato and profiteroles provide a traditional sweet finish alongside Italian wine, beer and coffee.
