La Violetta is an exceptional Italian restaurant that offers an authentic dining experience. The menu features unique and flavorful dishes, including a standout tartare and succulent specials like rabbit, wild boar, and Dover sole. The restaurant also focuses on northern Italian cuisine, with an amazing table side risotto that many consider a must-try. The attentive and friendly service ensures a relaxed atmosphere, and the overall ambiance is described as perfect, with casual and smart decor, including tablecloths that complement the rustic vibe. The wonderful bar and several dining areas keep the noise level down and create a cozy setting, reminiscent of an Italian farmhouse. Customers praise the restaurant's ability to offer an experience that truly transports them back to Italy, unlike the typical "red sauce" Italian restaurants. While the prices are on the higher end, the quality of the food and service make it a worthy investment for those seeking a truly exceptional Italian meal. Desserts are available, and guests have enjoyed complimentary chef starters and almond cookies. La Violetta remains a long-time favorite, with the chef pouring talent into every dish and staff taking pride in providing excellent service with friendly conversation.
