" I usually frequent high-end Italian restaurants, but La Scogliera was highly recommended by a friend. It was a very cozy, welcoming place. The menu had many appealing options, but I decided on the seafood linguine, and I was blown away! The pasta was homemade and complemented by fresh shrimp and clams. My husband remarked that this is how Italian food should taste. For dessert, the pistachio cake was delightful. We will definitely return! " (*Curated Review*)

" An amazing find for authentic Italian! The family vibe of the restaurant is evident in both service and food presentation. I enjoyed the stuffed mushrooms and a delightful marinara sauce that seems to be passed down through generations. Desserts were a must, especially the cannoli, which was crispy and perfectly sweet. I'll be back soon — I'm craving that food already! " (*Curated Review*)

" My family has been coming to La Scogliera for years, and it never disappoints. The homemade pastas are unparalleled, and you can really taste the love that goes into each dish. We usually start with the calamari, which is always tender and perfectly seasoned. Last visit, I had the cavatelli with a tomato basil sauce that reminded me of my grandmother’s cooking. The atmosphere is cozy, and the staff treats every guest like family. It’s truly a gem in our local dining scene. " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing glowing recommendations about La Scogliera, I had high hopes for a fantastic meal. Unfortunately, it fell short of my expectations. The wait for food was longer than anticipated, which was frustrating. When the food finally arrived, my veal was overcooked, leaving it tough and chewy, and the sauce tasted more like something out of a can than fresh and homemade. The dessert, however, was the redeeming aspect of the meal. I had a cannoli that was light and perfectly sweet. I’d give it another go just for dessert. " (*Curated Review*)

" La Scogliera was recommended to us during our trip to the area, and we were not disappointed! The atmosphere was casual yet classy, and we immediately felt at home. The homemade pasta stood out, with my carbonara being the star of the evening—rich and creamy, just how it should be. The staff were incredibly friendly, but service was a bit slow at times due to the restaurant being quite full. Still, the quality of food made up for it! " (*Curated Review*)

" I've been to La Scogliera multiple times and every visit has been great! The staff remember us and always greet us with a smile. The eggplant parmesan is my absolute favorite—crispy, rich, and flavorful. I also appreciate the housemade desserts; it’s a nice touch! Each time, we feel pampered with excellent food and service. If you’re looking for a relaxed dining experience with true Italian food, look no further! " (*Curated Review*)

" Overall, a great spot for Italian cuisine. I went with a friend, and we tried multiple dishes; the stuffed meatballs were absolutely perfect! The dessert options were a highlight, particularly the cheesecake. Service was friendly but the wait for food was slightly longer than expected since it was busy. Nonetheless, I felt it was a good dining experience. " (*Curated Review*)
