We all agree the each of our dishes were excellent and very affordable! The bread served was hot and fresh and we also got garlic bread that was toasted perfectly. Jess was out waiter and had a cool sense of humor. We left full and still had about half of dinner to take home I will say I was a bit disappointed in the sauteed broccoli rabe. I was thrilled to have it on the menu and it was mostly cooked perfectly, the disappointment was that it was slightly past peak and was a bit too fiberous to eat the stems. Husband was picking on the ambiance and I jokingly ask what was he expecting neon Las Vagas signs? Decor was subtle and appealing.

When we finished our meal there were multiple people (probably at least 10) waiting to be seated. So I recommend dinner reservations. We enjoyed our chicken Parmesan.

It was very busy on the Friday night we went with friends, so reservations are a good idea. Getting seated was a bit chaotic, as the same area is used for both takeout and dine-in.

They all are amazed at the portion sizes and the exquisite tastes offered. The servers are constantly busy, so wait times for food are longer than usual. However, that works to our advantage as it gives us plenty of time to socialize with our guests. As far as ambiance, it is loud. But that just adds to the whole "homey" experience. When will we be back? Soon, I trust!

Went to the restaurant to order pick up, since the online wait was over an hour. Ordered quickly…read moreand the wait was only 30 minutes. So the bad is that there was no seating area for the wait so I had to go back to my car in the rain. Online order doesn't include a salad and bread, but it does online. Ordered the branzino and chicken Marsala, unfortunately they were bland. No salt and the food lacked flavor. The salad was good but they need to give more dressing. The best thing was the tomato pie bread.

We live close by and haven't been since it's been La Sponda. Went there today with family for an…read moreearly Mother's Day lunch. What a great experience! Our server was great and attentive, the food was really good! We ordered the Caesar salad, calamari, chicken with crab, veal saltimbocca, pasta with shrimp and crab, pasta with meatballs (the person who ordered didn't care for the meatballs but is very particular), baked salmon, and chicken parm dinner. Only issue I would address is that some of the parties food came out at least 5 minutes before the others (about 1/2 the party) which made it awkward. Otherwise, a great experience and all want to return!

We stopped in here for a late lunch and were hoping for a 4+ star dining experience…read more That did not happen. My dining partner ordered the bolognese and was very happy with that. I ordered the wild mushroom papperdelle. There was no evidence of wild mushroom in this dish. The papperdelle ate plain. The mushroom "ragu" was sliced button mushrooms that were barely sautéed in a watery/ milky broth (not creamy) as if they did not cook the water out of the mushrooms. The Parmesan was added on top at the table to both dishes. Was there a hint of truffle? Maybe in some truffle oil-maybe. The dish was grossly underseasoned. Not a dish I would reorder. I also ordered the octopus appetizer salad. The octopus was seasoned with harissa (not quite Italian but ok). Unfortunately it was slightly overcooked leaving it chewy. The greens were well-dressed arugula. Again not a dish I would reorder. Our waiter was doing double duty in the kitchen while the bus girl was bussing the table so fast she took our flatware before we could pack up our leftovers while tossing the dessert menus on the table. Just did not get a welcoming vibe and would not return.

The Arancini was very good as was the Special Grilled Octopus in a Hummus Salad. There were 4 of us and we all felt that the entrees were good but didn't rise to what our expectations were, based on other reviews. The Lobster Gnocchi was good but seemed to be missing the lobster. The best part of the Scallop Risotto was the perfectly seared Scallops but the risotto itself was just ok. The Fiochi di Pere was good but overall didn't have all that much flavor. The Chicken Parmigiana was a very generous portion of chicken and pasta but the Italian seasoning was almost overpowering. I don't like writing reviews like this but like I said, we're in the minority review-wise on this one. Give it a try. Our experience just wasn't as good as what we expected.

I enjoyed a smoky Bourbon Old Fashion with a tastily prepared arancini appetizer. The rice balls were crispy on the outside and deliciously cheesy on the inside!! Not one, or two but Six came with appetizer, like I said, we were there to eat!! Tempted by the creative menu and the numerous seafood dishes, we opted to keep it old school, chicken cutlet parmigiana!!! A massive cutlet covered with love and a thick layer of oozing hot parmigiana. Fantastic! The cutlets came with a rustic bowl of penne in a tantalizing blush sauce and kissed with some yummy cheese shavings. Completely full, I was unable to explore dessert but I happily managed to cleanse my palette with a complimentary shot of homemade lemoncello which was like a goodbye hug from a staff that was welcoming and attentive throughout our meal. I will be back! To enjoy the seafood dishes while wisely leaving room for dessert!!!

The owner came out and chatted with me while my order was being prepared; very welcoming. He was really interested in local people and what I was looking for in a pizza restaurant. They are planning to start delivery within 6 miles. Once I was home I was very satisfied with my order. The Veggie Stromboli was perfect; you could taste the dough was made fresh.

Ordered a plain slice and pepperoni stick. 3 people who ordered after me were served with food and eating. I'm still waiting and have been approached 3 times to ask what my order was.
