    If you haven’t been to A Tacoma, you must go. The food was outstanding, the service was conscientious and the vibe was very cozy and welcoming. One of our top experiences of the last 12 months, for sure.

    It was perfect. A cold night, and not crowded in the restaurant. Our server (new to us) was very good. I wish I could remember his name (hair pulled back, earrings). We ordered the Brussel sprouts as an appetizer. We do not like the bacon on it and the kitchen made it for us without that. It is so good. We both ordered the mushroom & cheese gnocchi. We'd never had it before and it did not disappoint. It is an excellent addition to the menu. I usually get the Moroccan beef which is superb. Again, the gnocchi was exactly perfect. Just a lovely evening.

    La Perla had a well priced happy hour menu that we took advantage of via InKind. I enjoyed tacos & cocktails the most. I also ordered the fried ravioli. Will be back!
