La Piazza captures the spirit of an Italian trattoria envisioned by Kristjan Lulaj. Our establishment pays tribute to the essence of the iconic Italian eateries that thrived in mid-20th century New York. These were places where exquisitely prepared, mouthwatering cuisine graced tables in an ambiance that effortlessly merged elegance, comfort, and approachability. While our culinary offerings tip their hat to this rich heritage, they also draw inspiration from the contemporary and future culinary virtuosos and techniques. Signature dishes such as Seafood Salad, Linguini Vongole, Zuppa Di Pesce, Chicken Scarpariello, and Chicken Parmesan are taken to new heights of flavor and presentation.

    The food is consistently delicious. I look forward to eating there. Wallingford, CT got lucky when they opened in our town center. The service is also great. Love eating in the bar area.

    Outstanding restaurant. We opted to sit in the bar instead of waiting for a table. Busy place but our server Sabrina was outstanding. Food was great start to finish. Pane cotto appetizer, pork chops, and swordfish over risotto special were all served hot and delicious. Lava cake and cappuccino were also very good. I can't wait to return. There were so many other dishes I would have loved. Great experience.

    Wasn't especially happy with my meal. I returned it for a simple spaghetti and meatball dish and was again disappointed. Thankfully, the dessert was good.

    We went to La Piazza before a show tonight and had a fabulous dinner! From the olives and warm bread when we sat down to the amazing squash flowers, lobster parpadelle and crème brûlée, everything was delicious! I would highly recommend this restaurant and will be back. Fabulous!
