La Piazza captures the spirit of an Italian trattoria envisioned by Kristjan Lulaj. Our establishment pays tribute to the essence of the iconic Italian eateries that thrived in mid-20th century New York. These were places where exquisitely prepared, mouthwatering cuisine graced tables in an ambiance that effortlessly merged elegance, comfort, and approachability. While our culinary offerings tip their hat to this rich heritage, they also draw inspiration from the contemporary and future culinary virtuosos and techniques. Signature dishes such as Seafood Salad, Linguini Vongole, Zuppa Di Pesce, Chicken Scarpariello, and Chicken Parmesan are taken to new heights of flavor and presentation.

    We went to La Piazza before a show tonight and had a fabulous dinner! From the olives and warm bread when we sat down to the amazing squash flowers, lobster parpadelle and crème brûlée, everything was delicious! I would highly recommend this restaurant and will be back. Fabulous!

    We were seated late for a 7:00 PM reservation. However, the rest of our experience was outstanding. The service and food were 10/10. The wait staff were attentive and patient, the food perfectly prepared and served.

    This venue is very popular. 2 of our party of 3 enjoyed the specials. The portions are ample. We enjoyed a bottle of wine too. The wait staff was kept busy, but made time to check on us. We enjoyed the evening and will return!

    Couldn’t be happier with our experience at La Piazza! There are a lot of options for dining in the area but look no further if you’re looking for authentic Italian cuisine. I felt like I was back in Italy with the menu options and portion sizes. Family of 7 and we all went home leftovers. Waitstaff was so friendly and attentive! In addition to the dining area there are high tops in the bar area to an outside patio. Get there now before the secret is out about this place and you can’t get in the door!
