My wife and I had dinner at La Stanza last Saturday. The main reason I went is because she wanted to eat there. I ordered the sicilliano salad (wild arugula with chopped pistachios) followed by pappardelle al sugo d'agnnello (pasta in a tomato based lamb stew).

La Stanza offers a cozy neighborhood dining experience with consistently excellent food, friendly staff, and a quiet ambiance if you come early. The restaurant's menu features standout dishes like duck in pomegranate sauce and pasta pockets. While service can be friendly and efficient, wait times and noise levels can vary based on the crowd. The portions are generous and well-prepared, with the ravioli carbonara and tiramisu being standout dishes. Overall, La Stanza provides a great dining experience with reasonable prices, delicious food, and attentive service, making it a perfect spot for both dine-in and delivery orders.

Our waiter was fabulous! We did have to sit outside and it was chilly, so that’s why only 4 stars for ambiance.
