Reviews for La Stanza in New York, NY
This restaurant is frequented as a company lunch spot, but I will never return again personally. I have now witnessed the... server pick through our leftover breads and place the “salvageable ones” back into their plastic container. On two separateoccasions, no less. The pastas are okay. Servers are nice. There was miscommunication in regards to the prices of dishes,which necessitated a phone conversation with the manager. It soon escalated to speaking directly with the owner. The intent ofthe phone call was to find a solution that both parties are happy with. However, the lack of emotional maturity displayed by theowner was astonishing. He fired away quite insulting words that I would rather not disclose and was only interested in claiming“we did nothing wrong” without truly understanding why the customers were dissatisfied. Once he became aware that we werelarge party regulars, he changed his tune completely and we “settled” for an extra house salad next visit. I will never,ever come back. Read more
Ok food, good service, but NIGHTMARE attitude from the owner! Our 25 people party went to the lunch, but the restaurant did NOT... write the price on the menu given to us, so some of our group ordered higher price dish and didn't realize till paying thecheck. When we called for an explanation (very nicely) and suggested to label the price next time, the owner was super rude inthe phone and said "why you guys feel like salmon dish would be enough for 20 dollars? And the attendees for the party is 3 lessthan your reservation! " OK THEN! Our entire office will NEVER going to there again! No wonder why the place is ALWAYS EMPTY! Read more
Cozy space overlooking Lex, good service and food. I've had the $20 lunch special that comes with a glass of wine twice now and... both were very good - the salmon was excellent and cooked perfectly. Good food and a glass of wine at that price seems like anice deal. The space is tight so make reservations if you have larger party. Read more
Unique neighborhood Gem! I love this place: quality food and romantic atmosphere. Excellent value!!!! My favorite Italian... restaurant, you can’t go wrong here. Read more
This was recommended to us by our hotel and it did not disappoint. What a little gem, our waiter couldn't be more helpful or... attentive. We went for the set menu @ $21 per head and it was a bargain. We both had the green salad which although wasn't verymuch was very tasty. My partner commented " This is The best lasagne I have ever had" and I had the shrimp risotto which wasexcellent. For dessert I had the ricotta cheese cake which I liked but wasn't to my partners taste. The waiter replaced itwith the chocolate brownie which wasn't on the set menu and did not charge us for it. Could not ask for better service orfood......Well done La Stanza!!!! Read more
Took my team out to lunch. 1 got salmon and 4 got pasta. It's fresh pasta and seems to be made from scratch at the... restaurant. The pasta portions are small to average. I personally didn't think it was that good of a meal, but everyone i waswith seemed to enjoy. I expected the dish to be a little more appetizing (appearance wise). The server was attentive andquick. 3 of us had desert and in total it was around $150. Read more
Fantastic food! Went around the neighborhood looking for somewhere to eat and everything was closed. Stumbled upon this little... hole in the wall and couldn't have been more pleasantly surprised. Small little restaurant with only a couple tables. Very cozyand friendly staff. The best waiter that we have had so far (Sacco). He was very attentive and humerous. Everywhere else we hadbeen it was a feeling of being rushed and absentee waiting. Highly recommend! Read more
Ordered via seamless. Food was cold. Pasta was very basic and bland. Chicken tasted gross. Sauce was below average. La Stanza... did not meet expectations. For the price, I expect it to be tasty. Read more
