We have been to La Ginestra for over 30 years. It is a go to for excellent Italian food. Unfortunately, the service was below par. We ordered appetizers, a pasta to share at the table and our main course. The appetizers were slow to arrive. The pasta never arrived until the main course. Pasta with mushrooms just did not work as a side. The server apologized as she was accountable for the mishap. The food was excellent.
My wife and I love dining at La Ginestra and have rarely been disappointed with anything, including the service, the ambiance and the food. Tonight we ordered Chicken Scarpariello and must say it was VERY dry. Unfortunately all the ingredients were right (chicken, potatoes, peppers and garlic) but it was very overcooked and there was absolutely no sauce/juice of any kind. Perhaps it was a fluke, but we will not order it again. On the other hand, everything else was very good,...
Really enjoyable dinner with a good wine list and lots of menu choices. Swordfish special was somewhat over cooked but the sautéed baby artichokes and homemade pasta with creamy pesto sauce were delicious. Would highly recommend.
