" Although La Cantina has a rustic feel, which gives it a nostalgic charm, their food is anything but outdated! The pasta is fresh, and the flavors are so authentic.

" I tried La Cantina based on some strong recommendations, and I have to say it lived up to the hype! The decor has a classic Italian feel, and the food is straight out of Italy.

" Having been to La Cantina multiple times, I can confidently say it's my favorite Italian spot in the city. Each visit has been greeted with fantastic service and delicious food. They have diverse options, but their gnocchi is my personal favorite. It makes you feel like you’re having a meal at home with famiglia! Don’t miss out on this gem. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited La Cantina on a Saturday night and was pleasantly surprised. The atmosphere was vibrant yet relaxing, perfect for our group. The lasagna was spectacular and filled with flavor.
