“ Food and service is great and probably slightly better pricing than some of the other fancy Italian places in town. ”
“ I have eaten here three times, my food as well as my friend's food were amazing as well! I always get the spaghetti squash without the sausage, I do not eat meat. The appetizers were delicious too. The only thing is the assistant manager kept telling us we had to hurry and could not stay at our table more than two hours. Never heard that before. However I love this place, the people, food and obvious are wonderful. Our apps were very good as well! I love living near this restaurant it's my go to place! Even if I go by myself, you can sit at the bar, you always have people to chat with! It's a 5 star place for me. ”
“ Service was nice, food excellent and we had a nice table. My only complaint was the other patrons in t-shirts, hoodies and ball caps. La Famiglia is an upscale restaurant and should have a dress code. ”
“ We had a great dinner here. The service was incredible, our server was very personable and attentive. Food and cocktails were perfect. Will be coming back! ”
“ Hubby and I finally returned to enjoy dinner before a show at the cozy bar. We did make reservations as they are typically busy on show nights - glad they noted my request for bar seats. Our Negroni and Calamari were delicious! The chicken parm was a bit dry but we'll be forgiving as others enjoyed their meals around the bar. Considering how busy the bar was, Matt was very friendly and attentive. Show night note: We arrived just before 6pm and the bar had plenty of open spots but was full in 15 minutes. With the show starting at 7:30pm, the bar clears out around 7:15pm. ”
“ We had been here years ago but had forgotten how amazing La Famiglia really is. We had an opportunity to visit the restaurant with friends, the best way to enjoy Italian. The restaurant is quaint, with a touch of the old world and a splash of today. On this night, the wait staff were just as great as I remembered. Prompt, cordial and authentic. Viva Italia! I had the Lasagna Bolognese. Prepared to perfection, the taste of the noodles, cheese and Bolognese was magnifico. My wife had the Sea Bass, a special of the evening. On the whole, I don't think this was their best dish, more trout than Sea Bass. Others at the table had the Ravioli and Salmon (another special) and one of our friends had the Spaghetti Squash with Sausage. While I didn't try it, this dish looked absolutely amazing. Located directly across from the Pioneer Center, La Famiglia makes for a great night out any night but a clear no brainer when combined with a show at the Pioneer. Bravo La Famiglia. Bravo. ”
“ I would highly recommend La Famiglia. I took my family here after a devastating time in our lives and the entire team went out of their way to make sure we were well cared for. I'm very grateful for the extra time they spent on us and the compassion they had toward us. I had spaghetti and meatballs which is a great comfort food having grown up with an Italian grandmother. I would definitely order it again. The pictures I posted were from a different visit. La Famiglia is a great restaurant for Italian seafood. The lobster ravioli had a good amount of lobster and great presentation. We look forward to dining with you all again. Thank you. ”
“ Stumbled across this spot by accident and it turned out to be an extremely happy accident. The restaurant has a traditional modern Italian style feel. Service was excellent from start to finish, the food was delicious and priced very reasonably. I was reminded by my favorite Italian restaurant in queens and the girls and I will definitely be back soon! P.S. Parking during the day is metered but free after six. Would also recommend asking a reservation as it was pretty busy tonight. ”
