    It is always a welcome treat to return to La Stanza. The salad with persimmon slices and pomegranate was excellent as was our standard pasta dish, a ravioli with spinach and a delicate tomato sauce. I have a hard time ordering anything else! On the special menu we chose the sand dabs and they too were fantastic in a caper butter lemon sauce.

    Special tonight was Sicilian-style swordfish. It was perfectly prepared and still moist. Service outstanding and friendly. Just right! Always enjoy meals there.

    The service and food are outstanding. Salad really good. Fresh, creative and not overdressed. The bread was fresh ( do like it heated though) The wine list can use a little more variety and fine tuning. Selections in Italian white section were too fruity. The interior of the restaurant really could use a refresh. If it had better decor, you'd be packing them in.
