We enjoyed the arancini and blue cheese wedge salad appetizers, and we ordered 4 entrees. The Fish LaContea, Veal Piccata, Osso Bucco and the Tour of Italy. The entrees were all very good! The tour of Italy was a nice sampling of Lasagna, Fettuccine Alfredo and Chicken Parmagiana.

The portion sizes were generous and the prices are reasonable for what you get. We will definitely be back to try more!

La Contea is a hidden gem ! The staff was welcoming, attentive, and very accommodating to my party of 20+ women. I loved the Tour of Italy and it was delicious! A few guests felt the pasta could’ve used a bit more seasoning as their dish was a tad bland, but overall the service and atmosphere were top tier. I would definitely visit again!
