Tony and Mary Ramondetta have dedicated 18 years of their lives to serving Italian food to the Melton community.
Their efforts were honoured last month when the owners won the inaugural Outstanding Contribution to La Porchetta award against 70 other franchise restaurants around Australia and New Zealand.
“It was great to be recognised for our commitment to our customers,” Mr Ramondetta said. La Porchetta chief executive Sara Pantaleo said the award recognised the contribution of franchisees to the group’s success.
