La Balena Reviews
Fantastic food and our waiter was perfect. Always checking but never hovering, and he answered any questions about the menu easily and completely. I had one of the specials, Seafood Risotto, and it was amazing. Tasted my friend’s Lasagna and it was wonderful-not too heavy. Fried cauliflower and Bruschetta were perfection. Finished our meal with a lovely Strawberry Cheesecake. Absolutely a restaurant to put on the Don’t Miss list

Menu
La Balena, located between LA and SF, offers a charming Italian dining experience. The husband and wife owners create a welcoming atmosphere, making guests feel as if they are in Firenze. The menu features delicious options, with standouts including the beet salad, hand-cut papadelle pasta with wild boar ragu, and short rib raviolis in Marsala sauce. The back patio and wine-filled racks add to the rustic ambiance. Service is excellent, making La Balena a top choice for any occasion.
