We went with friends.Everything was yummy! Very large portions! We shared two appetizers, the bruschetta and mushroom caps. The bruschetta was amazing, best ever! Mushrooms were on the daily specials. We ordered the wedge side salads.. which were huge and yummy. Way bigger than any side salad I’ve seen. We could have easily split the salad. I had the creamy sausage pasta with spinach. My husband had the red sauce. He was pleased. Huge portions. We will be back. Happy to see another restaurant in LeClaire!!

Went for dinner at 5pm on a Saturday so the restaurant was pretty empty. The host and server were both not very nice. The service was honestly the worst part. The Salmon I ordered was very dry and nothing to brag about. All and all we would not go back, it was very disappointing.

Had the best night out at La Ragazza. Everything was perfect from top to bottom. First, the renovation they did to the previous restaurant is gorgeous. We got to meet the family member that designed it and she was so sweet. The cocktails are perfection. I tried the lavender limoncello and the proportion of lavender was spot on. We also had a glass of prosecco which was great. Now for the food!! I tried the sausage dip. It was creamy and dreamy. The best part was they actually gave you enough pitas unlike most restaurants. For the main I had to try the sausage pasta. I love to say "I could probably make this at home" about most pasta, but not this one. I have never made a cream sauce so silky and decadent. The portion was also huge so I had plenty leftover for another meal. I got to meet the chef and compliment him too. Really a fantastic group of people that have clearly put their heart and soul into this place. I cannot wait to bring more friends and family here!

Adorable restaurant with delicious food and amazing service. We went on a quiet Thursday night - our servers were very helpful and really went above and beyond to give us the best dining experience! My favorite parts were the comfy and stylish pink chairs in the front room where we sat, and the Tuscan sausage dip! I also recommend the cheese tortellini w/ shrimp. Between the appetizers and entrees, the flavors were plentiful and outstanding. Give them a try if you're looking for something new and unique!

Loud. We sat in the back and staff constantly went in and out the back door for supplies and made the dining room very cold. The food was a 7 out of 10. There were looong stretches that our server disappeared. I asked for the check and after waiting 20 minutes I had to go ask another employee to bring the bill. Took 2 hours and 15 mins to finish and it wasn't our issue.Not going back.

Was expecting more! Pasta was comparable to Chef Boyardee! Chicken had no flavor. Wine was good and service was good. We were in the back room and they opened the door to go out and have cigarettes or whatever they were doing out there constantly freezing us out. Not a good experience at all. Won’t be back.

We had the Tuscan Chicken Pasta with Shrimp added, Blackened Salmon, Tiramisu, and Deconstructed Cannoli. "Best salmon I've ever had at a restaurant." "Best tiramisu ever." Highly recommend!

We went here for my mom's birthday on a Thursday. Great decor and atmosphere, the food was all delicious, I don't think any one of us finished our meals. Portions are very generous and the staff were all very attentive. Highly recommend this delicious new Italian gem in the QC.

Service was slow, but there were only 2 waiters from what I could tell. Pretty sure my gin and tonic was just a tonic as well which was disappointing. Agreeing with other reviews, the food was bland, the pasta was overcooked, and the ingredients seem subpar, seriously, pre-grated parmesan in an Italian restaurant? As a local, I am hoping this is just hiccups from being newly opened and things can improve with time!

We just came from the winery across the street and wanted to try this newer place. Great atmosphere. Beautiful view of the Mississippi until it got dark.Ordered a little conservatively this time. Creamy sausage soup and wedge salad excellent. Salad had a nice peppercorn dressing. Sausage pasta and grilled cheese my wife had were really good, not great. Oil tasted a little funky for bread.Service was excellent.Bench seating hard.When we come back, I will try something else and could be 5 stars, maybe.
The place is small but decorated nicely the waitress was nice! Now for the food bread really good drinking are small and expensive salad good the tortellini were a bit over cooked and the food got cold really fast because of customers coming in and out. The tiramisu was the best part of the meal we would probably not go back. There was not enough on the menu for the main course. It was also very loud with bartender shaking drinks !

My favorite restaurant experience I’ve had! Ma and I had a seat by the river and the service and food was impeccable! Stunning plating, and the tart we took to go was heavenly.Vegetarian options: There are several main entree items to choose from. The Vegetable lasagna is small but delicious, and the spinach asparagus pesto pasta is large, filling, and delicious. Vegetarian, not vegan though.

Ok food and wine list. We didn't have a reservation and secured a table for two. It felt like we were part of another table. They even thanked us for being "part" of their table when we left. Service was ok, nothing special. Food was ok, not amazing.

The table of women next to the front window were so loud and rude. They acted like they were the only ones in the restaurant. The restaurant lights were so dim we had to use the flashlights on our phone to read the menu. The food was great and the service was excellent though!
