" After several visits to La Estancia, I have mixed feelings. While the food can be delicious, I’ve encountered inconsistencies in service. The last time I went, my dish took over 30 minutes to arrive, and while the chicken marsala was tender, it wasn’t as flavorful as it had been on previous visits. The ambiance is lovely, and I appreciate that it’s BYOB, which keeps the costs down. Overall, still a decent spot for Italian food, but be ready for possible delays. " (*Curated Review*)

" I have a lot of respect for family-run restaurants, but unfortunately, my experience at La Estancia missed the mark. The food was mediocre at best, and the service felt disconnected. It wasn't what I anticipated after reading positive reviews. I likely won’t return unless I hear substantial changes have been made. " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely the best Italian restaurant in the area! The service was delightful, and I was impressed with how attentive the staff were. We had calamari as an appetizer, which was perfectly cooked. The pasta dishes were all homemade and bursting with flavor. I truly appreciated the personal touch the owners bring. It's rare to find that level of warmth in a restaurant these days! A must-try establishment! " (*Curated Review*)

" I wouldn't recommend La Estancia to anyone due to my last experience there. The food was subpar, especially the snapper dish, which had a strange taste, and pricey for what you get. I asked the waiter for a recommendation, and was heavily pushed to order the lobster ravioli, yet when it arrived, it was so bland that I refused to eat more than a bite. I was disappointed and left feeling like I overpaid for a meal that lacked flavor. I won't be returning, even though the atmosphere had potential. " (*Curated Review*)

" This is hands-down the best Italian restaurant I have tried! Everything we ordered was made from scratch and tasted incredible. I loved the clams linguine—it was packed with fresh clams and herbs, and the pasta was cooked perfectly. The owners treated us like family, making the experience even better. The only downside is that it's BYOB, but it’s cool to bring your own wine. I can’t wait to come back and try more dishes! " (*Curated Review*)

" Was looking forward to dining here, but I’m sad to say I won’t return. My expectations were dashed when the food came out cold. The staff were friendly but seemed inexperienced. The shrimp scampi was drowned in garlic, and the pasta was mushy. For the prices they're charging, I expected better quality. It’s a charming place, but charm alone won’t keep me coming back. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited La Estancia after hearing so many great things about it, and I was not disappointed! The charm of the owners is palpable, and you can tell they really care about the quality of their food. My friends and I shared a variety of dishes, from the pasta to the seafood special, and everything was cooked to perfection. I especially loved the fresh marinara sauce—it brought me right back to Italy! The atmosphere was cozy and perfect for conversations. Highly recommend it! " (*Curated Review*)
