Way too expensive for the quality of the food. Ridiculous!

We got the food delivered and ordered the short rib lasagna pasta, the mushroom risotto pasta and the garlic fries. The food was amazing. They delivered it in around 10 minutes and it was hot and so very tasty. We will dine in person soon.

I had been here years ago and it was a wonderful experience. This year we were celebrating my husband's birthday we made a reservation beforehand and when we showed up the whole place was booked for a big party. They tried to place us in a different room but the roof was open and it was incredibly cold. I asked to change our seating and they placed us in the cantina next door. We made reservations because we wanted that restaurant's ambiance, the cantina was nice but it was very casual and that's not what we wanted. We ordered a Branzino and a Short Rib Lasagna both were bad. The Branzino was a very thin filet over a bed of vegetables. The vegetables seemed to come from the frozen section of your local supermarket, the dish was $45 it was definitely not worth it because I could have made that at home. The Short Rib Lasagna was not a good idea because the Short Rib was hard and not delicate. The menu stated it was hand made Lasagna but it tasted like store bought pasta. The whole meal was $130. It was incredibly disappointing for a meal that could have been created at home. The food integrity and customer service has severely suffered over the years.

The food was excellent, and the service was a bit slow, but friendly. To be honest, I should probably post this review for Ceremony, which is the tapas bar adjacent to La Loggia. I called La Loggia and made a reservation for four based on strong recommendation of a friend. When we arrived (on time) for our table, we were shunted next door because there was a private party being hosted at La Loggia. (This appears to have been a wedding reception, so they definitely knew they were booked when I made my reservation a couple of days beforehand, and we should have been advised.) We got to choose items from both menus. I had excellent generous tacos, a salad, and a cocktail from the Ceremony menu. Others in my party enjoyed items from the La Loggia menu, but found the salmon portion to be comically small. Everyone enjoyed the food, and the waiter comp'd a nice dessert for two. (We didn't ask, and we made no complaints, so I suppose the waiter thought that they might be flirting with a bad review based on our surprises, even though we were friendly.) Humorously, one of us was confronted by an angry, drunken woman from the party next door, at the restroom. The woman believed it was "her night" and didn't want to wait her turn. That was fun, and certainly the staff was not to be blamed for that, but if we had known we were going to be sharing space with a party, we likely would have chosen a different night or a different venue. On a different night this might have been a five star review! Doing things the way they did was a bit disingenuous, so it's only three this time. Ceremony was fun, the food was excellent, and the staff were doing okay under the circumstances. (Try the rib-eye taco and the Mexican caesar! The flan was good too.) It is a different, more casual experience than we had been expecting at La Loggia.

To begin with.. I last dined here 3 years ago and it was a great experience. Tonight was an utter disappointment. Reservation for 2. We arrive only to find that they are having a private party/event, theres no seating in the restaurant. If yo are not familiar with this restaurant.. It's also a part of ceremony bar and there's a type of patio between them.its neither here nor there, and that's we're we were seated... BTW I was never informed of said party. A bit chilly so we are moved over to the ceremony area bar.. Way different vibe. We ordered the short rib lasagna.. A fail. And the branzino.. The fish was OK but golly... A small piece served skin down over a pathetic mix of veggies that look like they came out of a frozen package from the vons etc. Horrible and they charged $45. Needless to say I will never eat here again.. And if this review steers you elsewhere.. Thank God.. U dodged a bullet.

The food is delicious here and the service is some of the best. I strongly recommend trying this place out when you have a chance.

My boyfriend and I went for dinner, it was delicious! We ordered the braised beef lasagna, gnocchi and red snapper fillet. Everything was cooked to perfection and delicious. The waiter was amazing going out of his way to make sure we were satisfied. Recommend 100%

These people are not messing around. No sir they are not. If you want yummy a** home-made tasting pasta, you need to give this place a try. My daughter had the linguini Alfredo which was sinfully creamy. I had lasagna topped with mushroom sauce... that dish tasted like there's a grandma in the kitchen who loves you that's making it. We started our meal with the meatballs appetizer, the meatballs were ridiculously fluffy and yummy. And we ended the meal with a divine berry pannacotta and a tiramisu that was a little too boozy for my taste. Overall this place in SERIOUS-YUMMERS. Will I come black here absofuckinglutely. So I think you should as well, most definitely

My scalloped potatoes were literally swimming in grease.... Presumably butter. The short ribs in lasagna were tough. I had a massive gut ache after eating 1/3 of my order. Took hours to get better, overnight to go away. The broccolini/ rapini was cooked to the right degree (not soggy and not crunchy but just right) but unfortunately it was also swimming in grease. Appears I'm just the unlucky sap who orders from them last night as reviews are generally good but their food made me sick as hell and I've never encountered so much grease in anything I've eaten before.

This "used to" be a great place to meet for lunch or dinner. We used to like their fresh food - excellent service. The food is still pretty good - the service not so much. Now seems very disorganized - as if there is no leadership - no supervision. The LaLoggia experience as it is now doesn't meet our standards. But we will try again at some point - hoping they regroup.

We love this place so much. For only our second outing to a restaurant, we picked Loggia for our son's 13th birthday dinner. The food was amazing. My boy's favorite is their lasagna. I love the salads and they made cacio e Pepe for me, the vegetarian. The desserts were out of this world. This is the spot.

Wow what a pleasant surprise. My wife and I were looking for a place to grab dinner with a friend and socialize and we stumbled upon La Loggia. They offer a split menu between Italian and Mexican food. We opted to drive a few dishes from their Italian menu. For starters we shared the beets and berries salad. This salad was so freshly prepared with the beets and berries really complementing each other so well. Light, tangy, with some goat cheese sprinkled over arugula was excellent. Next, we shared a linguine with mushrooms and salmon and spaghetti alla carbonara. Both of these entrees were very tasty and seasoned well. The fresh bread sticks coupled with the freshly chopped roma tomatoes and olive oil & vinegar paired nicely with the pasta dishes. Lastly, the banana Napoleon the the chocolate volcano soufflé with ice cream were a heavenly burst of sweetness. All in all, what a delicious meal and totally unsuspecting from the appearance of the restaurant.

I was craving for risotto and decided to do a quick dinner. I always like Italian (who doesn't), but became super picky after the return from Rome. The ristorante had specials besides what's on the menu. Everything sounded great, but I decided to stick with my original craving. I ordered Sauvignon blanc and mushroom risotto. I didn't like how they serve the wine. I would like my white wine to be served very chill and poured into a wine glass that has stem. They served with a tumbler. It's just that I have a preference. Risotto was good. The ambiance was alright. Valet $8. 3 Stars.
