    We have dined at LaStoria numerous times over the years, and decided to introduce it to friends of our while we were in town. Unfortunately the restaurant was either short handed on servers or had issues in the kitchen, but it took almost an hour before our order was taken (we did get our cocktails upon ordering them at our arrival). Then it was quite some time before our meal was delivered. We finished and departed the restaurant at 9:55pm, and we didn’t have dessert.

    I had an excellent experience here. The food was fantastic. I had the Spalla di Maiale and it was so tender and flavorful. The portions were good as well. The staff members were all attentive and friendly specifically Mike and Aubrey. The ambience was relaxing and welcoming.
