La Connessa - Reviews

My friends and I had a wonderful time at La Conessa. The squid ink pasta and arancini were fire. The focaccia was unconventional and reminded me of roti, but still quite good. The bolognese was also flavorful.

My experience at the restaurant was fantastic. The ambiance was great, and the service was amazing. I thoroughly enjoyed the delicious food, and the cocktails and wine selection were also great.

My experience at the restaurant was largely positive, with a few areas for improvement. The high ceiling created a grand atmosphere. We sat at the bar, and the service was nice. The slightly curved bar was comfortable, even for a party of four. For food, the fish appetizer was fresh, though it could have used a little more salt to enhance its flavor. The pasta was good, but some shapes were a bit too chewy due to being slightly overcooked. The cocktails were also good.

My experience at this restaurant was a mixed bag. The atmosphere and service were amazing, with no harsh marks there. However, I felt the food was not prepared in a way that makes for an excellent meal. I could hear "cabrone" being shouted from the kitchen and some heightened aggression, which prompted me to look over several times. It seemed like some kitchen staff were mad and slamming utensils around. By the time my food arrived, the atmosphere crashed and was unsalvageable. It might look nice and the corporation definitely spent money crafting an atmosphere that you certainly pay for. But your employees create the real vibe. I'd rather support any other restaurant in the city instead of some corporate garbage who spends too much money on thick paper for their business cards but fail to deliver anything relevant or worthwhile. Sorry, spend your money elsewhere. Spend it with someone who owns their own restaurant and cooks in it themselves. This place is just filling someone else's pockets!

My experience at this restaurant was largely positive, primarily due to the fantastic pizza. The food quality was excellent, earning a perfect score. However, the service could have been just a bit better. I got the impression that the waiter serving us could have been more attentive. Despite this minor issue with service, the overall experience was great, with a high score for atmosphere as well.

My experience at the restaurant involved trying to book a table. Unfortunately, one of the workers was impatient and not polite at all.

My experience at La Connessa was a tale of two halves. The ambiance and decor were truly beautiful, making it a perfect spot for impressing a date. However, the food quality and service did not live up to the upscale presentation. I found the Eggplant Caponata ($18) to be a small portion with average taste. The Halibut Carpaccio ($24) was bland and didn't taste fresh. While the Agnolotti del plin ($32) was decent, it was overpriced for the portion size. The Bodega Bay Rock Cod ($38) was the most disappointing dish – bland, poorly presented fried fish. The service was also a letdown; our server was inattentive and slow to take our order. My bottom line is that La Connessa is great for drinks and atmosphere, but the food quality doesn't justify the premium pricing. I'd consider coming for cocktails only.

I had an amazing experience here. The staff was super friendly and the food was amazing!

I met a friend for brunch and was greeted warmly into a beautiful venue. It was Saturday, so the brunch menu was on offer. Unfortunately, the fried mushroom appetizer was not available. However, the sausage and polenta (polenta was a tad too thin) and the fritatta items were available and did not disappoint. Because we were greedy, a side of crispy bacon was requested. I highly recommend the strawberry mimosa and the sparkling rose to wash it down. Our waitress was the absolute best, though I forget her name. Next time, I want to try the pizza 🍕.

My experience at this gorgeous establishment was a mixed one. While the atmosphere was a perfect 5 and the food was also rated a perfect 5, the service was a significant letdown, scoring only a 1. The older brunette barkeep, in particular, seemed to need some humility and perhaps a nap. It's a shame to see such struggles in a beautiful place and a challenging industry.
