La Perla Restaurant And Country Inn

I think the food is delicious and I like how they present it as well. If you order delivery they provide a complimentary loaf of delicious bread. It makes me so happy they are on DoorDash 😊

Got food to go. Everything tasted good but $20 for 3 bacon wrapped shrimp. No thanks.

Wonderful dining experience in a historic home.. I was in a group of 9, so we were sat in our own small room. Beautiful decor. Service was promp, attentive. The chef even came to table to work with a vegan in our party to make a menu item work for them.
Every dish brought to our table is one I would try. Simply done but not trite as Italian dishes often are

Went for dinner on July 14, 2025. Love this place. Food is excellent and we have NEVER had a bad server. This time it was Joe with help from Woody. They were awesome and very attentive. If you’ve never tried La Perla, I recommend you do. You won’t be disappointed.

Awesome choice of dishes, very tasty

A disappointing father’s day dinner for 4, new server had no idea about anything. Got me a zero beer when I ordered a real beer, didn’t know the menu, ordered my wife the wrong meal then replaced it in a to go container. My veal parm was paper thin floating in sauce, spaghetti came out on second tray with bread. had to ask for bread, s&p. Not the restaurant it once was, our last visit!

Had eggplant appetizer which was great but a lot for two people. I had stuffed veal parm. Was chewy and overall kind of meh but not awful. Had a great negroni from the bar and overall was a decent meal, but nothing special.

Fantastic food! A+++
Chef is exquisite & a genius! Specials are thoughtful and creative. Menu is varied with great choices. Staff is kind and personable. High recommend!

A gem with some of the best Italian entrees anywhere. We particularly enjoyed the mussels fra diavolo (the best I have ever tasted) and sole francese (delicious, melt in your mouth, with the perfect amount of lemon)!

This restaurant has everything except great service. The owner is unfriendly as were the previous owners. The chill is still in the air there. We won’t be returning despite the beautiful atmosphere. We love the wood fire pizza, but for the restaurant to be nearly empty and have the owner walk right past us as the only people sitting near the fireplace and not even make eye contact is too weird. He, like the previous owners, don’t have the hospitality vibe that makes people feel welcome. There are too many restaurants that have it all to waste money dining in an unfriendly place.

We have been longtime patrons, starting in the early 1980's when it was the Gregory House, then when it became a wonderful Italian restaurant until it recently closed. It has now re-opened with a new owner, Arts, Letters and Numbers, an arts residency in Averill Park.
It is still a great high-end Italian menu plus woodfired pizza. We went on their first night under ALN ownership, sitting I'm one of the dining rooms. (There is also a tavern room.)
My wife and I splurged. We shared an order of Maccheroni al Ferretto (which happens to be the most expensive item on the menu) and a small pizza. The Maccheroni was outstanding. The pizza was excellent as well, The two items together were more than we could finish. We're really happy to know this place will be open and that the food is as good as it's ever been.
Our servers were great, but they were a little understaffed, which we learned was because it was a soft opening on short notice.

So happy to hear that La Perla is now part of Art Letters and Numbers! I have been to ALN as an artist and the sense of community was profound. This new addition is especially exciting as it provides a space for us as artists to connect more with the community beyond ALN! A beautiful space for invigorating conversation and joyfulness all while eating fantastic food
