La Vina is a stellar restaurant!! The excellence in food, service, ambiance and customer satisfaction make it a top rated experience. The prices are competitive and even low for this exemplary restaurant. Treat yourself to a romantic interlude, most definitely will not disappoint.

I cannot remember having such an incredible meal. Every aspect from the wine , to the bread, the entrees, to the desserts was impeccable.
The service was outstanding..and the ambiance was on point.
I'm a new resident to the area and just found my favorite restaurant.

My 1st time there tonight and I'm so happy to find this gem. The food and service was top notch! The shrimp and scallops special was so yummy. I also got to try the Ribeye special which was delicious.
They also have a nice martini selection. I sampled 2 and they were delicious too! I mentioned my love of basil martinis so I'm hopeful they may add it to their list.
I had to indulge in the creme brulee for dessert. It too was amazing!
I can't wait to go back again!

To be honest, they lost me at the 45 minute wait between end of appetizers and salad until our entree's showed up. The steaks were great for those who had them. Unfortunately, I chose the Fettuccine Rose . A pretty meh dish with a piece of pounded out, unseasoned chicken. Not saying it was bad. Just didn't live up to expectations.

We have had so many wonderful meals here for the last 18 years-approx-until this past weekend. I had ordered a martini, which arrived with a glass approx. 2/3 full. When we were ordering, we were told that a dinner salad was included but the soup was an additional charge-seriously? After saying that, we decided to have the soup, only to wish we would have ordered the salad-it tasted more like it had come from a Campbell’s soup can, instead of the wonderful soups we have always enjoyed in the past. My husband ordered the lasagna-one if his favorites-and only finished about half of it, and on the way home when I questioned that, he said that it was nowhere near as good as it always was before. I chose the shrimp and scallop special and was greatly looking forward to that. It arrived with 3 medium sized shrimp, along with 3 medium sized scallops. The quality of the pasta and sauce were great, but the shrimp and scallops seemed old, and were nowhere near as pleasant as the same dish was previously, as far as freshness and taste. The size of the shrimp and scallops were notably smaller also.I doubt that we will be going here again any time soon, if at all.

Disgusting that you'd let a dog at your bar. Dog's are trash. I'll remove my 1 star review when you stop this new trend of disgusting behavior. Dog people are absolute out of hand trash.
Old world charm, in a quaint, old style Italian restaurant. The menu is straightforward, the specials are always changing, and the food is always incredible. I recommend the house dressing on the salad, and all the pastas are stars! But if you can get there when they have the Steak Pizzaiola, it's worth it!
Dietary restrictions: I have on more than one occasion seen them make a fresh sauce to accommodate alcohol free, or other concerns!
Our first time there. We had a wonderful time. Excellent food. The filet minion was superb ?. The soup was very tasty. Desserts are homemade. Service was great. Thanks for a memorable evening. We will be going again!!

My only complaint is that I'm so uncomfortable because I couldn't stop eating! Everything was excellent! I'll absolutely be back.
