Waste of time.
Their listed hours say they should be open now but I'm standing at the restaurant and the lights are off. When you call the answering machine says they are open but that's not true.

You confirmed our reservation. You asked me to verify that I would be there. We go last night and the lights are out and the door is locked. You are not open! And yet you accepted and confirmed our reservation for dinner. Really bad form on your part and anunacceptable.
While the food, service, and noise level were all very good, and the BYOB option was great, we didn't feel the value worth it for the price we paid for the specials we had (pasta dish with 4 shrimp for $50). We expected to pay "shore prices" but the alomost exat same dish at their sister restaurant Polpo was like $38 two weeks before.
I had the salmon with spinach and sun-dried tomatoes - loved it. The sauce they pour over is fabulous. My husband had the lobster ravioli. He loved it. My brother had the langoustino's He loved it. Lucca our server was fantastic. Always consistently delicious.
Love this Italian restaurant. Old school with white tablecloths and not too noisy. The food is very good! Highly recommend it👍
We loved the food! They were very short staffed but the servers were working very hard, definitely not their fault.
I expected that a service would be more attentive than they were. I ordered iced tea and was Thursday and I finished it early. They never came to fill it up. I must applaud the gnocchi were like little pillows. And my husband's pasta carbonara was also very good.
My husband and I dined at La Vecchia and thoroughly enjoyed it. Our server, Alison was very attentive. The food was delicious. My husband had the grilled calamari for appetizer and the orange roughy special for dinner. He really enjoyed both and even had leftovers of his entree. I had the breaded jersey tomato appetizer and the pasta bolognese. Again , both were delicious and I had leftovers of the pasta.
Wonderful food....wonderful service .....even wonderful in wrapping up the leftovers for home

All in all, the evening was delightful. Food was excellent, but the service was lacking somewhat. It seemed they only had two waiters on hand and the restaurant was full to capacity, so the attentiveness was not there. Our waiter never returned to see how our food was after delivering it. I also don't like when they begin to clear off plates while people are still eating Let alone bring over plastic containers for leftovers while people are still eating.  would probably return..
Lindsay is the best waitress ever. We had a wonderful time with her!!!! Personable clear honest and uh very informative!!! Dinner was it's truly delicious.If my only comment would be.I wish there was sides offered with the main course.Something small like a side of pasta potatoes or a veggie would make this my favorite restaurant!
We were seated on time. Had a good table. Service prompt. Food delicious. We weren't rushed. Everyone pleasant. We'll be back!
Excellent dinner experience. Food was excellent. Service very attentive. The restaurant is small so tables are close together and noise level is high. Highly recommend though.
Convenient for us because we could walk. We were seated promptly, but server was busy with other tables for the first 5 min. Once the server reached us, everything was top notch. Server was very attentive and the food was delicious.
