For years, Paolo and Teresa Gaspari honored their Italian roots by bringing people together to enjoy good food, great wine and the company of friends and family. In 2019, John Ekizian took the reins and remains excited to continue the tradition of La Famiglia. The simplicity and perfection of fresh ingredients is the root of every meal we prepare here at La Famiglia, and all of our dishes pair beautifully with our vast collection of fine wines. From our pasta to our sauces, even to our freshly-squeezed lemon juice, we start from scratch. One bite, and you’ll understand the difference that handmade truly makes. Our courteous and attentive wait staff is ready to welcome you. Whether you’re joining us for a special night out, a family gathering or simply because you’re craving a delicious Italian meal, we hope you’ll spend it with La Famiglia.

She really didn’t have good eye contact with us. 3 of us at the table have been/are servers so we know what makes a good server, ours could use improvement. The busser and expo’s were great!

Best part was the Brussels sprouts which I would say were over sauced. But overall service was slow. We started with a cocktail and we’re going to get a bottle of wine but our young server was maybe overwhelmed? But he did not come back until the end of our dinner so we got a cappuccino and an espresso martini and left. We’ve had better experience a year or so ago. Wouldn’t be on my list to go back soon.
