Ciao Bella': Thank you Gaetano for one of the most romantic and wonderful evenings ! This restuarant is so cozy, quaint and reminded me so much of Sicily when we walked through the door. We were truly in heaven. Visiting from Boston (with the great North End), we were right at home., and put La Laconda right up there with Strega in Boston. We loved the atmosphere, your staff and especially the food. You a truly a wonderful host, along with your lovely wife Robin. Your risotto was the closest I have had since being in Sicily! The simple elegant ambiance of your restuarant made our entire vacation worth coming back for. The Ferraro's (Boston)
Prepare to be treated like trash: We have been to this establishment multiple times. We have enjoyed the food and put up with the service. The last time we dined there, the owner crossed the line. One of our dinner guests was wearing a hat and the owner rudely demanded he remove it. This would have been acceptable if we were not sitting under a print of Michelangelo's "The Creation of Adam" with blue Christmas balls glued to just the right place. The owner told us his restaurant was too classy to wear a hat in but apparently David with blue balls is the new measure of class. The food is good but its not worth the elitist Italian attitude.
Super: I'm Italian and hard to please when it comes to good Italian food. I really enjoyed this place. The service was fast and friendly. Portion size was great. The atmosphere was pleasant.
