What is porchetta?

Porchetta is traditionally a boneless pork loin wrapped in a pork belly, slow roasted with herbs for hours until the skin is super crispy.

In Italy, porchetta’s traditionally roasted and served as a street food sandwich on a crispy baguette with arugula and a garlic aioli.

At The Porchetta House, the pork belly is rolled up and cooked crispy. Our modern take combines local ingredients with global flavors.

We are breaking porchetta out of its traditional Italian roots for all to enjoy.

Born out of a love for the classic pork sandwich, The Porchetta House is dedicated to offering our guests a made to order experience with fresh, local and organic ingredients. Elevating the traditional pork sandwich experience.
