This place has gone down hill badly, we used to enjoy coming here. My wife and I arrived...and as someone else said... there was a staff member eating food at the door!! Then we ordered drinks... they took between 15 and 20 minutes to arrive, my wife's drink was wrong.. we ordered foccacia bread... we got slices of a french stick... no explanation.. when I questioned it I was told there were not enough reservations to warrant baking fresh bread. We were not charged for slices of french stick. The whipped butter was good. The main courses were good along with the wine. The service was VERY slow... my wife ordered creme brulee, it was old and they confirmed that it was safe to eat... 2 day old creme brulee.. not impressed for the price!! The waiter then came over and ate another creme brulee in front of us in an attempt to invalidate our experience. My advice is avoid!! The waitress was 2 days in to the job and completely miserable.... the place had just 4 tables at 8pm on a Friday night ... guess people vote with their feet and these guys have been voted out!!

I had an appetizer, a main meal + a dessert and It was just enough to not feel hungry. If you only take a main meal, it won't be enough.
Service was ok, But the place was loud.
Food was good, although.
An unforgettable experience – beyond excellent!
We had the immense pleasure of celebrating our wedding at La Squadra, and it was truly a dream come true. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with warmth and professionalism. The owner, Martin, personally took care of us, and his dedication made all the difference.
The food was absolutely exquisite — every dish was prepared with extraordinary attention to flavor and presentation. Martin worked with us to design a custom menu that was not only affordable but of remarkable quality. Our guests are still talking about how delicious everything was!
We were also graciously offered complimentary champagne, a refined and thoughtful gesture that added a celebratory sparkle to the evening.
The service was impeccable from start to finish, and we never felt rushed — we were allowed to stay as long as we wanted, which made the night feel truly special and relaxed.
The venue itself is cozy and beautifully maintained, with ample free parking available — a huge plus for all our guests.
If you're planning a special event, or simply want an outstanding dining experience, we wholeheartedly recommend La Squadra. Martin and his team will go above and beyond to make your occasion unforgettable. This restaurant deserves the highest praise!

La Squadra is a nice Italian place with a contemporary vibe. The food is fresh and well executed.
Showed up on Valentines for lunch. Had other things going on in the early afternoon so made a reservation at 2pm. When we showed up they asked us why we had a reservation at this time because the kitchen is closed at 2pm. We left then checked our reservation again and saw nothing on it that said their hours, as well as if you could make a new reservation at 2pm and you could! If you’re restaurant closed at 2pm then you should NOT be taking reservations for 2pm - 3pm. That needs to be changed immediately! Ruined our Valentine’s Day, thanks.

We really enjoyed our dinner at La Squadra.
We were offered the Valentine's menu with a 4 course meal and it was very good. Limited choices but what we took was very good, and the service was exceptional!!
An authentic Italian experience. The spaghetti carbonara was perfect, with good wine choices to choose from.
i would rate the food here as good. however, service could be a little better. we were seated at such a small table that we had to ask the waiter to take things away.
can use a better layout and tables.
the fish was good
Went with friends to what appeared to be a nice upscale Italian restaurant. While the atmosphere was quite nice, the other components of a good restaurant experience were severely lacking.
The manager on staff was rude, interrupting me mid sentence when asked for a possible substitution and making passive-aggressive remarks when a guest dropped an empty plate. The waitress, while new, was very kind.
The food was by far the worst of any restaurant I’ve been to at this price range. The risotto I was served had no seasoning whatsoever, it tasted of rice pudding without any saltiness or richness of the “Parmesan” it was supposed to contain. The quail that accompanied it was drier than the Turkey in National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation. My partner’s Cannelloni (just the 1 for the high price) looked like it was born and raised under a heat lamp. The only thing meriting a star was the arancini which were tasty and well seasoned. 200+$ later I am severely unimpressed. I won’t be returning. Were it not for my guests and their good company, I’d have left and refused to pay for the food.
We had a great time and we even had the privilege of being served by the gm Francis. Amazing experience ⭐⭐⭐ ⭐⭐
