La Perla Restaurant And Country Inn

So…about our dinner. My wife ordered Chicken Sorrentino (chicken cutlet layered with eggplant and prosciutto) they forgot the EGGPLANT. I’m not sure how that happens. I ordered Linguini alla Pescatora (linguini with shrimp, clams, mussels, calamari in red sauce) they forgot the CLAMS and the dish came with ONLY of (1) shrimp and (2) mussels. VERY DISAPPOINTED to say the least. In fact, I will never return again!

I’m genuinely confused with 4.3 stars because they don’t reflect my experience here in the slightest. This is one of my favorite go-to spots, and I’ve yet to have a bad meal.

The chicken masala is outstanding—rich, balanced, and clearly made with care. The wood-fired pizza is consistently excellent with a great crust, and the pasta dishes are always fresh and flavorful. Drinks are well crafted and pair nicely with the food.

Service has always been friendly and welcoming. It’s not lightning fast, but it’s attentive and relaxed, which I appreciate. This isn’t fast food—it’s a place where food is actually being prepared properly.

They also host live band nights. Personally, I find them a bit loud, but I can see why others enjoy them—the place fills up and has a great energy. It’s nice to see a local spot offering something beyond just dinner.

Every restaurant can have an off night, but judging this place by a handful of bad reviews does it a disservice. If you’re looking for quality food, good drinks, and a lively local atmosphere, this place absolutely deserves your visit.

dont waste your time making a reservation and have them understand what that means. 5 different reservations and all failed after multiple calls to confirm. Lakeview will always welcome you after failed reservations at lapearla.

They made the chicken supreme (with mushrooms in a brandy cream sauce) gluten-free on GF angel hair pasta. It was superb and so delicious that my friends asked if they could lick the plate!

We thoroughly enjoyed our two-day stay! Our meal in the bar was absolutely delicious (try the portobello mushroom appetizer; you won't be disappointed), and our room was very comfortable and well-appointed. The staff is friendly and helpful, the building is charming and nicely decorated, and the location is convenient to our local family. We would definitely stay again!

La Pearla Restaurant at The Gregory Inn has been around for 25 years. I haven't been here in a long time and the food and service continues to be excellent. Tonight our party ordered fried calamari and stuffed portobello mushrooms as appetizers. Very good choices. I haven't had fish in awhile so I ordered the filet of sole francese with a side of angel hair pasta. It was an excellent meal and did not disappoint. Dessert was tartufo which is an ice cream ball covered in a chocolate shell. Very delicious. Our waitress was great and we did not have to wait long for our food. They serve warm fresh bread which your meal. La Pearla is also known for their brick oven pizza, which I recommend. Their prices are also reasonable and that is important in this economy. I dont know why I waited so long to return here. This is a place you should not pass by.

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.
