Very great food and service.Huge portions, the lasagna could be for 2-3 people, and the main dish salads as well. The caesar salad was amazing and was perfect for just one person. The lasagna was okay, not the greatest flavor or texture. Five star waiter!!! Overall had a great time and would recommend!
I don’t understand this 3 star level rated restaurant, but it was actually better than expected, clean & cool bathroom, all you can eat pasta deal, great bread with unique hot chili pepper olive oil, it was great. I wish they had oregano though :/
First of all, I would disagree with their tagline that it is casual Italian. This leans more towards the nicer side. I would say it is in the middle between fine dining and casual dining.That being said we had a great dinner.For an appetizer we got the fried risotto balls. I am normally a risotto lover as well as an all things fried lover. But this did not do anything for me. The risotto was too bland for the batter they fried the balls in. it just tasted like a fried cheese ball, while that wouldn’t normally be a problem it may as well have been a mozzarella stick due to the mild flavor of the risotto. For dinner, I had the cacio e pepe and the pasta was exactly how i wanted it. My wife didn’t love it but that was because she likes pasta to be way overcooked. If you don’t like al dente be aware that’s how the noodles come out. Her mushroom pasta was also good if not a bit saucy for my taste.We got the tiramisu for dessert. The actual tiramisu was a pretty standard tiramisu the only complaint I had was that the cacao seemed wet, like it had been placed on the mascarpone earlier and then a little fresh cacao was put onto the plate to make it seem as if it was made to order.Our server was very polite and we never waited too long between visits for water refills or checkups. My only complaint, and this is mostly my fault is that I asked for a pinot (thinking I would get a pinot noir) when she came out with the Pinot Grigio I was a little disappointed. I should have clarified then or even when I put in the order but that was the only mistake through the night. We also had a nice view of the walkway onto downtown Williamsburg which was very pretty, especially with the sun setting behind the restaurants. All in all the ambiance was very pleasant and relaxed.
Good Italian food, friendly staff.
I visited LA Piazza for lunch, for the first time while visiting Colonial Williamsburg this weekend. Is located in the merchant square right between the Colonial Williamsburg streets and William and Mary.There are quite a few mixed reviews about this place, so I wasn't sure exactly what to expect. To start, the staff was super nice and very attentive. Our waitress was awesome!!I ordered the meatballs as an appetizer and a ham/turkey panini sandwich. The meatball appetizer came with three meatballs and a couple slices of bread for just under $10. I thought they were very delicious. For about $13/$14 the panini came with chips. This I also thought was a very good panini.I'd definitely stop again
This is a very nice place in Williamsburg, and I went for the first time earlier this week! The hosts were very friendly, even after just dealing with a very rude and demeaning person in front of us. The management is also rapid and observant. I give this restaurant four stars instead of 5 because our waitress was not good at all, she wasn't even the one to take our order, the manager had to come to take it. The waitress later returned and said it was hard for her because it was so busy, but she only had four tables, and they were all close together. The food was delicious, we both got sandwiches, which came with sides of chips. Lastly, the other problem I had was that they had coffee on their menu, so I ordered an iced latte, which was featured on their menu. However, I received a cold brew with cream, which is not a latte, and it was very gross. I would go back to this restaurant, but I wouldn't order coffee, and I would be prepared for a potentially inattentive waitress.
We visited Colonial Williamsburg for the first time…. Gorgeous day out and looking for a place to eat outdoors…. Seated immediately. Great service . Friendly, Funny and attentive. Ordered the Cranberry Limincello Cosmo cocktail (Delicious and Refreshing) … The small Cheese and Meat Board and Meatball Sub… everything tasted freshly made and delicious.. see photos
Terrible food. Not reminiscent of Italy at all. Might as well go to Carrabbas or Olive Garden. Tiramisu didn't taste like anything either. Waste of money. Great service, very professional.
Came here on a beautiful and busy day. All outdoor seating was taken but we grabbed a table indoors and were happy with our decision. My best friend and I are new moms and brought our babies and the staff was all very welcoming and kind. As a new mom this goes so far. Service was great, salads were huge and delicious (were nervous they’d be overpriced and were pleasantly surprised they were not) and Prosecco on tap?!?!All in all a lovely experience.
Eggplant parm was good, our server was really sweet especially to our daughter. We waited less time than expected for a table as well even though it was busy.
