Lunch was just perfect. Pergola offers great variety for lunch. A real break from burgers and other uninteresting foods There were four types of fish offered in addition to the raw bar. The portions were generous and perfectly prepared. Pergola is a BYO restaurant which makes it even more reasonable and allows you to bring that special wine you’ve been saving.

I hadn't been to La Pergola in about a year and found that the quality of the kitchen had declined, especially for the prices. My dining companions agreed. The 'wild boar ragu' I ordered had nothing in common with the dish known for its unctuous, rich meat sauce. Mine was chunks of sauteed boar and a pan sauce served over pappardelle. Many of the specials recounted to us were served with 'brown sauce'. What is that? Then there was the ugly black plastic table number serving as a centerpiece, giving the dining room an institutional feel. Any place charging $30 for entrees should have wait staff who can figure out which table is which.

Ate here with my family to celebrate my birthday. The service was amazing and is what made our overall experience top notch. The servers were professional, helpful, attentive, fast, and friendly. From our greeting at the door to when we left, we were well taken care of. The food was also very tasty of course. I would recommend.

Our family was looking forward to our Christmas Eve dinner ... only to be hugely disappointed at the door. There was a number of disappointed other family members who stated they had been waiting for a long time...way past their reservation time. We were booked for 8pm and got seated about 9pm. We ordered as fast as we could and received our salad but then had to wait for about 45 minutes to an hour for our entres. I ordered sword fish and couldn't eat more than one bite as it was cold and salty. Seated close by was a table of 20 people...the noise was excruciatingly exhausting. We couldn't wait to leave. The service was horrible! We think this was the case because the table of 20 required constant attention. We will not go back after this horrible night...a night we were really looking forward to. They clearly overbooked and no apology was issued. A discount was totally warranted. That didn't happen either. Thanks for ruining our Christmas Eve dinner La Pergola.

Sadly- moving in doors has made the staff grouchy! We asked our waiter to repeat a few specials and he said he didn’t have time. I had the short ribs which th gnocchi: the meat was dried out and gnocchis were gummy. Not a good night.

This was my first time here. I had heard wonderful things about La Pergola, but considering the world and health situation these days, I think more space between guests would be a consideration - it much too crowded. Tables are so close together that I could hardly hear my friends talking and could hear others' conversations. Prices were higher than I remember seeing online. I had the sole and it was good but not great for $38. I don't eat red meat, so I went with that. Service was delightful - all the waiters were lovely and friendly.
