Had lunch there on Monday 3/14/16. Got in a little after lunch hour so the place was empty except for two business type gentlemen at a nearby table. Wife and i ordered the shrimp and clam w/linguini and was excellent. Very tasty and service was very good. My retired AirForce daughter had chicken parmesan with pasta and thought it was very good also. The only drawback to the whole experience was the two business type gentlemen. Their language was loud and often profane. Another elderly couple came in and the language from the two men got louder and no less profane. As we had our 1yr old great granddaughter with us my party insisted I not go to the loud table and shove a napkin in their mouths. Thankfully they finished their meeting, as they apparently had long ago finished their meal, and left. I will go back to La Piazza because of the food. I will, however, ask that our table be moved to a quieter area should these two idiots show up.

I had dinner here on June 1, 2016. I ordered penne pasta in vodka sauce with proscuitto, and it was really tasty. My drink was diet coke and my bill was $21 for one person. Good value, One complaint: my diet coke was watered-down and did not taste right. I dont understand why so many restaurants have bad-tasting, watery soda. Yes they save money by watering down the soda, but how much money do they save? It does not seem like a significant savings, and its very annoying to the customer. The dining room decor is faux Italian, schmaltzy and cheesy. The restaurant is located in a modern strip mall. I came here for dinner and a rest stop during a long road trip. I was hungry for Italian food and I found this restaurant on my phones internet while on the road. Its located a couple miles from the interstate.

A family friend took my wife and I here on a spur of the moment, "Lets have Italian...". We have been back at least monthly if not every other week, just the two of us. This place is great if you appreciate good food, professional staff, timly service and a drink that is never left empty. While the specials are great to hear and taste, there are a bit to many to make them "special". I would recommend them limiting their specials to just two or three, and have their servers memorize them, (that would be a nice touch). other than that ridiculously picky remark this place is GREAT and anyone in the area, especially this race weekend should stop in for a semi-upscale dinner.

Should of known when walking in!!! I must say this place has went way downhill... Havent been here for at least 7 years. I can say it used to be great. Now, I would say its equivalent to truck stop food at 3 star restaurant prices. The server tried very hard to make it a better experience. But, didnt once ask how everything was. We had 4 of us there for dinner and not one of us took more than a bite.. Truthfully it was that bad!! It was a $75.00 check & $90.00 with a tip. Im pretty convinced that this place is on the brink!

Went in for a quick Italian lunch ended up spending over an hour there. Service was very slow, my table of two was one of two tables, a total of four people on the whole place and it took them almost 30 minutes to make two subs. It also took a good ten minutes to get water and bread. Had to flag the waitress down to get more drink. She visited us that one time during the whole meal. Asked for split checks and she brought back one. Also the subs werent even that good. I could do better at home from scratch and in less time.

Went to LA Piazza after a movie for dinner. Hostess was friendly and seated us quickly. Our server greeted us quickly but was VERY disinterested in us. Kept glancing around the room while telling us the specials (which he had to read off a note pad). Drinks werent bad, bread was pretty lack-luster. Appetizer (calamari) was terrible, salad was ok, entres were again lack-luster. Hate to say it but even though the portion sizes were large, I simply didnt see any reason to go back.

We love going to La Piazza. The martini selection is fun and delicious. He loves the tortellini and Jumbo shrimp and I love the Seafood Pescatore. They are our favorites, but if they have a Lamb or Surf/Turf meal, it is hard not to order. The staff is very nice. Id also recommend getting the Little Neck Clams in the white wine sauce. Save the sauce for dipping the bread in. Yum! Enjoy!

My boyfriend and I love going to La Piazza for dinner. The food is always fantastic, and the service is very good. We have never had a bad meal there. Prices for entrees are in the $10-20 range. The restaurant has a nice atmosphere, and is a great place to take a date--they sometimes even have a piano player.

My boyfriend and I come in at least once a week. We always sit at the bar to see Bill, who is amazing. Has never lead me wrong with delicious wines and actually introduced us to our new favorite tequila. Everything from the stakes, salads, chicken and pasta is incredible. We look forward to dining there soon

My wife Christine and I LOVE this place. Everything we have ever ordered has been terrific and as a decendant from Italy thats saying a lot. Mr.Bill behind the bar is a great asset as well. We are so happy to have found a place we can go for great food,friends,and cocktails.

Decent setup and service but somehow, the chicken marsala had crunchy chicken. The noodles werent the typical Italian style pasta, more Asian lo mein style and overdone. Equally disappointed with the saltimbocca. On a positive note, the marsala sauce was somewhat passable.

Maybe i ate here on an off day so i wont be too harsh. Friends and faimily rate La Piazza highly. Took a date my first time there. We both had pasta. The flavor was there but both lasagna and liguini were soggy. There was only one other seating while we were there.

My husband and I wanted dinner out, but we were not up for going out of town. We got a really good meal in town. We think the prices were fair and everything was good; the food, the service, and the ambiance. We will definitely return again.

Been here numerous times, foods always good. Its a little pricey for what it is and have had an extended wait for the food a time or two which is reason for 4 stars but again, good enough that we continue to go back

Waited over 20 minutes at a table and never got waited on. We ended up walking out of the restaurant and said something to the hostess and she just said okay. I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone.

Restaurant was clean and staff was very nice. Food was good and you got a lot. What we ate was a little pricey, but it was good food. I would recommend this place if you want good Italian food.
