shocked!! great itailian!!!. first off, where you have traveled is not relevant to whether or not the next guy is going to like his meal here. i spent 2 years in italy (in naples and in aviano) and i have found the food at la familglia to be just as good, if not better than some places ive ate at it in italy. i have always been very happy with my food here. the dishes here are authentic italian-very hearty, rustic, rich. and, lol..clearly owned by a tony soprano godfather looking guy in a black suit..very, very interesting touch.
and like many family owned italian restaurants, you are pretty much eating inside a tiny house turned into a restaurant. i wish they would move to a more comfortable location, but this just adds to the authenticity i guess..and oh yah,,i agree with the previous posters, our service was pretty good. we asked them to substitute a tomatoesaucefor a whitesauceon a dish and they were totally happy to do so..and it tasted great!! you cant even do that at the olive garden.
and oddly enough, yes..our waiter was kind of a red neck. very out of place but it didnt matter because the food was good as was her service.
eat there!!
