To be fair, I didn't know if the place was open or not as the windows and doors are not visible to the inside so I wasn't sure when they are really open. It is a family owned restaurant therefore I expect many changes when they need to make changes such as closing early on certain days. I was a little late to the table so I didn't get a chance to really study the menu but I really wanted to try the sautéed chicken with penne because it sounded like it would be super indulgent with butter as the sauce. I ordered a full order as they also had light orders which is half the portion at a reduced price. But I was hungry, and it also came with garlic bread or bread and butter. It did take a while for food to arrive, I think we aren't used to a long wait since usually bread would arrive first. My aunt and uncle got soup (minestrone) served first so maybe if we ordered salads we would've gotten them before the entrees too. The Alex special pizza came first as our entree and boy the crust was crispy! Lots of toppings and the cheese pull was amazing. Parts were a bit hard to chew but only after it's been sitting for a while because when it was fresh it was crispy, then soft and chewy. My sautéed chicken dish came after and it was hot! All the plates are hot so be careful! So hot my uncle burned his mouth on the stretchy cheese from the lasagna and spaghetti with meatballs. The chicken and mushrooms were so delicious, I ate all the mushrooms first and even used the pizza crust to soak the extra butter from the penne. The garlic bread and bread came really last, at least it was fresh so it was a good wait. Yes there's a lot of butter oil, but I expected it when the dish on the menu said to choose a sauce which was butter or olive oil. We didn't get dessert because we were so full! We had plenty of leftovers for another meal. They gave us boxes and a pizza box to take our food home. I really want to try again with my parents and others, the dessert menu sounds like a great selection of Italian sweets but what I really want again is the bread and butter. It was so good, the butter was salty which really makes it a star.

In the past, they have specifically ordered the GLUTEN FREE cheese ravioli as I have Celiac disease and cannot have gluten. Yes, I am aware of cross contamination and have to ask for separate pot, water etc. One time they ordered to-go and we got meals. My son ordered a regular cheese ravioli. We got food back to their home and I had to call the restaurant to ask them which was GF and which was not as the shapes were different. The manager said one shape was GF and assured me. Within an hour I wasn't feeling well and that was incident #1. Tonight was my mother in laws birthday. We ordered to-go again. I specifically stated I have celiac disease. Separate water and pot etc. go through my whole schpeel. When I arrived at the restaurant I asked them if the meals were labeled between my GF and my son's non-GF. "Yes", they said. "Absolutely they are". We arrive at my in laws home. Hey guess what? They were not. There was zero indication or different shapes of the raviolis. They looked EXACTLY the same. No labels ..... AGAIN, I called the restaurant and the girl said "oh because the kids size one is smaller, it should be the other one". Huh? Can you make that make sense? They look exactly the same. SHE PUT ME ON HOLD NEVER CAME BACK ON THE LINE. I spent $168 TO EAT NOTHING. My family is breaking bread around the table and nothing for me, the one who paid for the 6 of us. What a disservice to anyone who has valid medical conditions such as celiac disease. Maybe management should have a training on what celiac disease is, food intolerances and nut allergies in general as I saw a pistachio penne on the august special. ****Spaghetti Eddie's **** DO NOT CONTINUE TO DROP THE BALL ON THINGS LIKE THIS. ****Spaghetti Eddie's: **** DO TRY TO EDUCATE YOURSELF ON FOOD SAFETY AND PRECAUTIONS FOR THOSE WITH LIMITATIONS ON WHAT THEY CAN AND CANNOT EAT.

Caramelle $27 - My favorite of all the pastas but expensive for very little pieces of pasta and a meatless dish. Full of flavor, lots of oil. Rigatoni Timballo $32 - Delicious, standard. Duck Confit Rotolo $31 - My personal dish which turned out to be my least favorite. Meatballs and Caramelle were my top favorite, secondary are the beets.

We were seated right away when we arrived, though our initial spot was a bit odd with the window drapes practically sitting on our table.

Portions here are generous--you definitely get your money's worth. However, the food itself was just okay and lacked flavor. The 24oz jumbo pork shoulder was overcooked and dry; while I know cooking a piece of meat that size is tough, if it's on the menu, it should be executed well. That said, I'd still come back to try the lobster pasta--it looked fantastic with a very generous portion and a good-sized lobster tail.

While the outside of the restaurant may not immediately catch your attention, don't let that fool you. The inside is beautifully decorated, cozy, and full of charm. It's a smaller restaurant, which made it feel welcoming and comfortable. Our server was incredibly friendly and attentive, making us feel right at home. We also loved watching the soccer game on the big screen while enjoying our meal. My only suggestion would be to give a little more attention to the restrooms. They could be cleaned more frequently, and making sure hand soap is always stocked would really enhance the overall experience. Overall, the amazing food, welcoming service, cozy atmosphere, and great portions make this restaurant an easy recommendation. We'll definitely be making the trip back to La Puente again!

The inside is of elongated setting with comfortable dinning chairs. We came on a Saturday for lunch and it was not busy at all.

Highly recommended! And will definitely return.

They seated us at a window which was nice so kids could see the Amtrak Surfliner go by (it went by 2x), along with Metrolink and at least 2 long BNSF freight trains. We shared: Garlic Mizithra pasta (with bacon and mushrooms): 8.5/10. Don't get much brown butter flavor, but the mizithra cheese, bacon and mushroom have a nice salty roastiness that is very pleasant. Meat Lovers Treat pasta (which comes with 1 sausage, 2 meatballs, and meat sauce): 9/10. Very enjoyable red sauce pasta. Kids especially liked the sausage, meatballs were tender, sauce tasted fresh and not goopy or pasty. Sicilian Garlic Cheese bread: 9.5/10: totally satisfying; basically a pleasant and non-industrial tasting french bread pizza with a slightly chunky sauce served for spooning or dipping. Fresh bread: 9/10: a mini french loaf, piping hot and fresh, with whipped butter and they even gave us an extra loaf to take home (so really 10/10) Each entree comes with garden salad (ours was very fresh, and I really enjoyed the balsamic vinaigrette), bread and... Free ice cream! 9/10: what is not to like about a free scoop of vanilla or spumoni with dessert. The spumoni does not have nuts, only artificial nut flavor, so people with pistachio or other nut allergies probably don't need to worry. I have had better spumoni but it was still pleasant. I was surprised that I liked this place this much. Service was excellent, exceptionally friendly and attentive. In sum: pleasant, comfortable, accommodates kids and big groups well. And value is excellent: salad, pasta, bread, garlic cheese bread, soda, all of this cost of $66 (incl. tax!) + tip. The portions aren't gigantic but totally satisfactory. We will definitely be back when we are in the area, especially when the kids enjoy watching the trains go by, and you can walk around the station afterwards.
