La Stanza - Englewood

We have made memories at La Stanza throughout the years. We've made those memories with our dear friends and our romantic dinners together, the little table beside the railing. Thank you Bill. The bartender you've served us very, very good drinks and we thank you for that. You're the best. And lastly, but not least, thank you for all the wonderful meals. The deliciousness of it, the thought that went into in the hands that prepare them. Enjoy your retirement. You've earned it!

Had Easter dinner there yesterday. I ordered the rack of lamb. It wasn’t a rack of lamb. It was 4 very small and dry chops. Similar to lollipop lamb chops. The atmosphere was ok. Would have been nice with flowers on the tables.

If I could give zero stars I would. We used to absolutely love this place. My husband can not go to the restaurant at the time to enjoy a meal for health reasons, so we tried to order take out. The first time I tried, I was informed they were extremely busy and not taking to go 's. Tonight when I called, Janet answered the phone. As soon as I said I would like to place a take out order, she abruptly told me , we are not doing take out. Goodbye and she hung up on me. We will not try again. What a shame. We heard rumor they have been sold. I am starting to understand why.

As a resident of Englewood, Fl and a long time customer of our local restaurants, I’m sorry to say LaStanzas has fallen below my expectations. We were a party of 10 who dine at our local restaurants.typically. The restaurant offers Prime Rib as their special on Friday nights, however the waitress does not mention the price when giving the specials. I ordered a medium rare cut and was served a piece of meat loaded with fat and extremely stringy. Another patron ordered hers medium and was served a very nice piece of meat. I did not want to create a problem with complaints as we had theater tickets. Today I looked at the restaurant receipt and saw I paid $39.00 for a plate of FAT and returned to make a local restaurant aware of how they are failing our community! I was advised I should have returned the meat (not an option) since we needed to be on our way. The two individuals who I spoke to never rectified the situation or offered to make things right.If this is what LaStanzas is serving I would recommend that the residents of our community dine elsewhere. LaStanza you had an opportunity to make things right, however you FAILED!

My wife I both had the crab stuffed sole. Hers was fully cooked, but mine was way undercooked...Server was great, the food not so great...
