    We went here before a comedy show down the street. Our server was super helpful, the food came out quickly, and everything was fantastic. The squid ink pasta was delicious.

    The service was decent—our server was polite and attentive—but unfortunately, the food just didn’t live up to expectations. Everything we ordered was bland and uninspired. For the price, I was hoping for something at least memorable, but it was all very mediocre. wouldn’t come back.
    La StoriaResponded 6 days ago
    Dear Larissa, Thank you for the kind words about your server. We’re truly sorry the food missed the mark for you. That’s never what we hope for. Please consider reaching out to our manager, Slavisa, through our website or by phone—we’d appreciate the opportunity to connect and make this right. The La Storia Team

    Great neighborhood spot with good food and service. Was a quiet night but received great service and attention from the manager on duty. Arancini, Pappardelle and Lasagna were excellent.

    My friends and I love coming here for Sunday brunch! Especially when it’s a nice day out because their patio is so peaceful and beautiful. Love to unwind with an Aperol Spritz and pretend we are actually in Italy!

    Server was nice but the service was poor. Food was good but not good enough for the value. I felt like we were just a turn table. Nothing special.
