Nice local Italian restaurant without going out to Manhattan. Kids are always happy and the service is friendly and fast. Love the fried zucchini they serve on the side! Chicken parmigiana, the penne with broccoli rabe and sausage and lemon chicken are always a hit.

Haven't been here since I was a kid. Everything was excellent!!!!!! Food was amazing. Service was great. Not too many places like this anymore where you feel welcomed and like family. Prices are also very reasonable for the quality and portions. Can't wait to visit again.

La Palina was a very family oriented place that me and my boyfriend had went to as our car was getting repaired nearby! I enjoyed the penne vodka, a garden salad and the pistachio ice cream! The service was great we came around the time where there was no rush by the time we left there were families there for Sunday dinner! The owners were very attentive and had a lovely sense of humor as well as the waiters! The food was very good I never have a bad experience with Italian signature...
