La Pergola serves up some of the best authentic Italian food in the area. Always fresh and delicious. Very big portions. Al the owner is the perfect host. It's very crowded and loud and somehow they need to figure out a coat check/rack. It's also very cold every time the door opens regardless of the heat lamp. The pork chop is beyond outstanding as is the squid ink pasta with shrimp. The chicken parm has a beautful presentation and our friend thoroughly enjoyed it. The fig tart and hazelnut gelato is worth the trip alone. In a state full of exquisite dining choices, La Pergola is among the best.

Very consistent. Always delicious food and wonderful service. A total gem of a neighborhood restaurant which is BYO with a great store for wine down the street. We have loved it here and continue to come for over 10 years!

The chicken parm is the best , hands down. Whenever it's on the menu we are sure to order it. But everything is always perfect!

We had an excellent experience! The food was outstanding and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. It was perfect for a relaxing evening. The chicken parm was a standout, a large portion, perfectly cooked, and absolutely delicious. Everything from the service to the overall vibe made it a place I'd definitely return to and recommend to others.

The portions were huge, each one big enough for two people. The server didn't inform us of this. Specials were very expensive.

La Pergola is our new go to for Italian, the food, service, and ambiance was perfect. We have the spinach/ ricotta ravioli, the Parmesan crusted chicken and the black linguine, and it was all delicious. I would absolutely recommend this place, can't wait to go back.

We love going here for dinner. The food is generally outstanding! The last few times we went, the food was good but not outstanding. The service is exceptional, top notch!! The people are very friendly and quite lovely. We generally eat outside, but now it's getting colder, so inside we go. Outside is lovely and inside the restaurant is warm and inviting however, the music was too loud. Will I go back? YES! We have been going for years and it never disappoints.
