" Had a mixed experience during our last visit. On one hand, the food was undeniably delicious and the ambiance romantic. However, the service fell short; we waited far too long for our mains even after finishing our appetizers. It slightly dampened the evening, but the food is worthy enough that we may come back for another chance. " (*Curated Review*)

" La Pergola remains a family favorite! We celebrated my wife's birthday here and the service exceeded our expectations. Each dish was crafted with care and the flavors were distinctly authentic. The gnocchi with short ribs was particularly memorable. The owner even came over to check on us and made us feel at home. A great evening overall—highly recommend for special occasions! " (*Curated Review*)

" While I do love authentic Italian cuisine, my recent experience at La Pergola was a bit underwhelming. The service was very friendly, but it took longer than expected for our orders to be taken. I enjoyed the risotto, but it could have used a bit more flavor. I might give it another go but with lowered expectations. " (*Curated Review*)

" We stumbled upon La Pergola during a weekend stroll, and I’m so glad we did. The outdoor area was charming, and the bread served was freshly baked. I might have expected bigger portions for the price point, but the taste made it worthwhile. Will return! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had dinner with family recently, and though the food was superb, we found it quite loud and chaotic inside. The wait time for food was longer than expected, but the flavors made up for it. It's a place worth visiting when not too crowed. " (*Curated Review*)

" Visited La Pergola for the first time after hearing the buzz, and it was delightful! I had the special ravioli and it was exquisite. The ambiance is perfect for a nice dinner and the staff did a fantastic job taking care of us. We left with smiles and could not wait to return. " (*Curated Review*)

" I met a friend here for lunch and immediately fell in love with the courtyard. The atmosphere is casual but elegant, and the food—absolutely divine. Both of us had the short rib gnocchi, an experience that will be hard to beat. " (*Curated Review*)
