The stuffed chicken was supposed to have prosciutto and Asiago cheese in it, but it wasn’t detectable. The side dish was broccoli, and it was cold. The server was quite attentive, however it was slow.

When we got to the restaurant, we were about 20 min early so the hostess said we could wait at the bar. The bar was full of very intoxicated half dressed men. The bartender was very rude and put off when we were sat at our table early. Our waiter was equally as inconsiderate to us. The food was ok but very overpriced. Overall disappointed with our experience and we had heard how great it was for our friends.

Our last night in Key West we decided to go to LaTeDa. When we arrived Christopher came out to let us know that our table was almost ready but that he could seat us at another table if we wished rather than wait. He took us back to look at the options we decided to wait and he seated us in the bar for the wait. The table was ready before our drinks arrived so the bartender brought the drinks to us at the table. I ordered the maple walnut salad and my husband ordered the Caesar salad. Both were delicious. I ordered the pappardelle bolognese which was fantastic. My husband had the shrimp scampi which was also great. We highly recommend La Te Da. Christopher is definitely focused on customer service!

La Te Da was our choice for my husbands 75th birthday. We dined in the bar area so we could enjoy the music. The homemade pasta and Snapper special were delicious. The bartender Tristan was our server and as busy as Tristan was attention to detail at our table with a smile was excellent. Thank you La Te Da for your delicious food, beautiful atmosphere and attention to detail. Thank you La Te Da!

This restaurant is top notch. The service from Gonzales was attentive and professional and he is passionate about the food they serve. My husband had the homemade Pappadella bolognese and I had the special Pappadella seafood. Both entrees were outstanding.

Do not order the French onion soup. The French dip was very dry. And the blood orange mimosa pretty much was just an orange mimosa. Service was spectacular!!

The prime rib special on Wednesday was fabulous. The prime rib was medium rare and seasoned to perfection. The fresh mashed potatoes were killer, slightly firmed texture and nicely seasoned. Fresh green beans were blanched, with a great texture and lightly seasoned. Everything was a taste sensation!!! This is a very consistent, high quality restaurant, no disappointments!!
