La Bona Pasta

Watch out for the soup! We came in about an hour before closing on a Saturday night and it looked like all the regulars had just left. We read other reviews and where expecting slower service, it was downright inattentive! Waited until the busser asked if we needed water but still didn’t take a drink order. Took 20 min to get our drink, 30 min for order to be taken. As for the soup! Wee where asked if we wanted soup or salad with our meal....they didn’t tell us it was $3 extra! The meal and bread was plenty, I didn’t want the soup but while tasty if I knew it was extra we wouldn’t have ordered it. Left with 2 meals, 1 soda, 1 beer and 2 $3 soups, for $74!!! Food is ok, but not $74 good! Gonna go elsewhere next time.

If you want to feel like you are in Italy with the fresh pasta and breads you are in the right place. Attended the wine tasting and I was a little hesitant as I don't eat seafood but I was amazed at the flavor of the seafood stuffed portobello. The lobster ravioli was rich and the pasta so fresh and cooked to a perfect texture. The wines were delicious and they kept the glasses filled. The main course was lamb which I have never had before but the Brandi sauce was rich and buttery with a heavy cream base and a hint of garlic. I didn't get a photo of the bread but it is made to order for the table a freshness you don't expect. Truly a gem in Litchfield Park. Ps for those that say it takes long...fresh food does take a awhile and the amount of care in every dish is worth waiting.

Ignore the one stars from the people that watch too much Gordon Ramsey. The prices are inline with today's costs. The food is great! I've never been disappointed here, even had them make food for our wedding. 100+ guests only had great reviews of anything they tried. The Carbonara is second to none. The service can be a bit slow but no worse than anywhere else. Food is always too notch!
