    Solid Italian food. We loved our dishes. The arancini balls were a hit. Pasta was excellent! Tiramisu and apple tart were amazing.

    I am super picky about Italian food after living there for 18 years, so I am thrilled to have found the genuine thing at La Stanza - I felt like I was eating in Italy! Simply delizioso...as only Italians can do it!

    We love La Stanza. It was a little hectic on this Saturday night after Valentine's Day. But we had a good meal, caring service and fun with our friends.

    Our favorite Italian restaurant in the Menlo/Palo Alto Area. Unassuming and simple. Highly recommended.

    My husband had the short ribs and they were excellent. Mezzaluna pasta dish is my favorite and I always am hungry for it. La Stanza is our favorite restaurant and that is why I requested going there for Valentines Day. The red balloons were festive!💕

    We love the food so fresh and tasty. We had the little 4 person private room which was lovely and intimate. Of course, we will be back again.

    La Stanza has terrific food & a great waitstaff. However it is very closely packed and quite noisy. They do a tremendous amount of take out, so the staff is running all over with to-go containers and since it's so small, it's a little crazy. All in all we enjoyed ourselves immensly. We will go back mid week and enjoy a more relaxed time. There's dish of stuffed pasta with pear and asiago cheese that is wonderful! They look a bit like goldfish especially with the yummy orange colored sauce on it. I will get it again for sure.
