    GREAT service, food was wonderful! Just need new lighting - a tad bit too bright, but an easy fix!

    It is always a welcome treat to return to La Stanza. The salad with persimmon slices and pomegranate was excellent as was our standard pasta dish, a ravioli with spinach and a delicate tomato sauce. I have a hard time ordering anything else! On the special menu we chose the sand dabs and they too were fantastic in a caper butter lemon sauce.

    Special tonight was Sicilian-style swordfish. It was perfectly prepared and still moist. Service outstanding and friendly. Just right! Always enjoy meals there.

    The service and food are outstanding. Salad really good. Fresh, creative and not overdressed. The bread was fresh ( do like it heated though) The wine list can use a little more variety and fine tuning. Selections in Italian white section were too fruity. The interior of the restaurant really could use a refresh. If it had better decor, you'd be packing them in.

    Enjoyed another casual evening of dining at La Stanza. The swordfish special was tasty with a generous cut of firm fish. The pork entree was equally generous and both entrees were accompanied by a nice assortment of vegetables that included carrots, green beans, Brussel sprouts and potatoes. The service was attentive but not intrusive and the neighborhood feel and friendly greeting upon arrival welcomed us back. Would like to see an expanded list of wines available by the glass but the choices were good, while limited.
