About this restaurant

Good for special occasions
Charming
Neighborhood gem

For years, Paolo and Teresa Gaspari honored their Italian roots by bringing people together to enjoy good food, great wine and the company of friends and family. In 2019, John Ekizian took the reins and remains excited to continue the tradition of La Famiglia. The simplicity and perfection of fresh ingredients is the root of every meal we prepare here at La Famiglia, and all of our dishes pair beautifully with our vast collection of fine wines. From our pasta to our sauces, even to our freshly-squeezed lemon juice, we start from scratch. One bite, and you’ll understand the difference that handmade truly makes. Our courteous and attentive wait staff is ready to welcome you. Whether you’re joining us for a special night out, a family gathering or simply because you’re craving a delicious Italian meal, we hope you’ll spend it with La Famiglia.

We had a very nice dinner to celebrate my husband’s birthday. The service was excellent—staff were friendly and very attentive throughout the evening. The food was delicious and served in generous portions. While the atmosphere was a bit louder than I expected for what I thought would be a more romantic setting, it was still an enjoyable experience overall. We appreciated the great service and tasty food, and would definitely consider coming back again.

Very enjoyable lobster escargot and scallops with risotto. Not quite Italy, but La Famiglia is always good for a nice evening out.

The drinks were the best part of our dining experience. The caesar salad wasn’t a caesar, poor quality. The entree was lacking flavor and quality. I honestly could have made better at home, and I’m not a chef. I heard so many good reviews but honestly didn’t see the draw to this place.
