This new ownership under Xen Gafilias has made this neighborhood Italian restaurant absolutely incredible. The quality of the food and portion sizes are far too generous. The warmth and hospitality of this place extends to make you feel like family. The hot honey calamari, eggplant rolatini, and their chicken pasta dishes are perfectly made authentically just like Italy. I’m making this restaurant at least a weekly regular and Wednesdays they have nice live music. Can’t...

This was my family’s first time at La Famiglia, and it exceeded our expectations. The food was TRUE authentic Italian cuisine and reminded me of the home cooked meals my family makes in Italy. Every dish was fresh, flavorful, and made the European way. The new owner was incredibly personable and made our experience memorable. We’ll definitely be back and highly recommend it to anyone looking for genuine Italian food and warm hospitality!
