    It was a pleasure to bring a friend there last evening whom had never been before. They were very happy to experience La Storia and enjoyed their dinner as did we. The service was perfect which added to the night. And the martinis were exceptional!
    La StoriaResponded on June 20, 2025
    Dear Paul, Thank you for bringing a friend and for the kind words! We're thrilled to hear the evening hit all the right notes—from the martinis to the service. We truly appreciate you sharing the experience and look forward to having you both back again soon. The La Storia Team

    Food was very average, service was slower and they were missing several menu items, will say ambience/ back patio was nice but probably wouldn’t go back.

    If you go literally WATCH YOUR STEP. My wife and I went for dinner on Saturday. After dinner as we were leaving she fell on the step. No one was at the door to warn her. No paint on the step and no warning sign. By the way, the food was just ok. Bad evening all around.

    Went for a birthday. Service was extremely slow. Food was “ok”. Had to send one of the plates back because it was cold. The overall thought of this restaurant was good but it seemed like they did not care about our experience.

    Nestled between some larger restaurants, the magical place that is LaStoria may be easy to miss, but it's a standout in every way. Tucked into a vintage townhouse, this intimate restaurant with a cozy bar and amazing patio serves up remarkable Italian food with service to match. Ben, who took care of us, was warm, funny, and the right kind of attentive--and the food was wow. The spinach salad with fried chickpeas, capers and orange was the perfect mix of briny, refreshing and flavorful--and the chicken parm was other-worldly. At Ben's suggestion, we ordered the tiramisu--and I'm still dreaming about it. We will be back!
    La StoriaResponded on June 2, 2025
    Dear Barbara, Thank you for such a thoughtful and heartfelt review. We're so glad you enjoyed your experience with us, from the patio to Ben’s hospitality to the unforgettable tiramisu. It means the world to hear your kind words, and we can’t wait to welcome you back soon. The La Storia Team

    Service was terrible, no one greeted us for 15 minutes and after we finally ordered, it took over an hour to get our food and when it arrived, the peas in the rigatoni vodka were still frozen. The agnolotti was flavorless, however the meatball appetizer was fairly good. I would not return.
