La Pizzetta is tastefully decorated & kept immaculate! Efrain did an exceptional job at seating us at a most comfortable booth, was patient, knowledgeable & clearly explained dishes. Special requests were pleasantly accommodated. Water glasses were immediately filled without having to request. Outstanding garlic knots & Pizzette Margherita Pizza. Incredible specials! Stuffed baby eggplant & Brussel sprouts oreganata were mouth watering appetizers. Split pea soup was my daughter’s favorite & my husband liked the minestrone soup . Boneless chicken fantasia with asparagus, broccoli and portobello shatake mushrooms was phenomenal and enough for my husband & I to split. My husband’s cappuccino was fantastic! The orange creamsicle, lemon sorbet & Oreo ice cream cake that my daughters & I had for dessert were out of this world! Everything was beautifully prepared, generously portioned, cooked to perfection and served quickly. A container for leftovers & receipt were immediately brought to our table. Dining in at La Pizzetta has always been a truly special treat & most memorable family tradition for decades and brings my family & I so much happiness that we will forever cherish. Can’t wait to return soon and try other enticing meals. Highly recommend!Kid-friendliness: Fine dining in a warm & cozy environment with food choices for all ages with most professional, efficient & genuinely varing & friendly employees!

We ate there with friends the other night and all had terrific meals and the service was more than you can ask for. I had the chicken Sorenta It was made with eggplant and mozzarella on chicken breast with a terrific tomato sauce. My wife and friends all said their meals were great also. This will be my go to place for this kind of Italian meal and I'm Italian.

We came in a little later at 8:30PM, thought they closed at 10PM so I'd assume last seating 9PM? Not sure but, I would've appreciated & respected if they simply told us they were closing rather than rushing us out in 30 minutes. Soup & Salad - Amazing The fact they brought out our entrees while I was still eating my soup and left me holding my soup dish in my hand ... because there was no more space at the table is outrageous... My boyfriends dish was undercooked because they were in a rush to get out. I didn't even take a bite out of my penne alla vodka because my experience had been so horrible, and after being made to feel so uncomfortable by the employees speaking Spanish laughing at the upset customer (me) not knowing I speak Spanish fluently. Just out of plain respect I will never come here again next time say it's too late for dinner, instead of having us spend $100+ for 30 min of a horrible dining experience. The 1 star is for the salad and soup. Would NEVER recommend.

This wonderful little neighborhood joint is a 'throwback' to the days of checkered tablecloths and chianti in straw bottles. The food is very good and can often be excellent (especially if you order one of the 'specials'). The service is pleasant and unhurried. Their wine list is several notches above the old 'red or white' days, with one or two excellent wines on the list. The atmosphere is well-appointed casual, and the pricing is very reasonable. Strongly recommended for an unpretentious lunch or dinner.

Waiter was just not interested. Didn’t tell us about the “Specials” board. Was looking out the window instead of at us when asked a question. Never asked how the meal was. Didn’t even bring me a fork to eat my meal with. NEVER gave us any service. Even paying the check was hard work. Honestly wouldn’t ever go back. So many other restaurants to spend my money on.
Grumpiest and most unfriendly waiters in NY State. Food is good. Owners are nice and friendly - however the wait staff there is absolutely miserable - so miserable it's laughable!

Neighborhood restaurant- pizzeria that cooks average Italian food. Reservation was taken but not honored. Service was spotty and slow on the night we were there. Very unremarkable. I could have been more critical but they seem to have a following that they are keeping happy, so good for them.

We usually go there every year but this year the food was not as good as it used to me. They made 2 mistakes on the order, and it was not busy. I don't know, but the did was just blah.
