Aristo Carranza

La Pérgola offers a unique dining experience featuring exquisite Northern Italian cuisine. This family-run business is expertly managed by Agron and his wife Driola, a remarkably talented chef. Their hands-on approach ensures consistent quality across all their dishes. I highly recommend this restaurant for a delightful family meal in a warm and inviting atmosphere.

At first I was a bit iffy about the service. I am giving five stars only for one reason and one reason only and that’s Sydney. She went above and beyond to cater to me and my friends and making my friends birthday special. Sydney thank you so much for being such a sweetheart and professional. Appreciate it!

The food is certainly a cut above. However, the servers appear to not understand English well enough to be in their positions. Although, extremely nice. Hence this is definitely a Friday night date night BYOB.

Having planned to eat at a more casual restaurant one stormy night, my husband and I were dressed pretty casually. Me in snow boots, him in a baseball cap. We walked in through the back and were greeted as though we were dressed to impress. The large open space was very elegant, the music was lovely, and the seating was comfortable.The service was excellent, the bread was warm, the food was delicious. The shrimp cocktail was perfect, the best I've ever had. The butternut squash soup was great, the baby arugula salad was great, the broccoli rabe gnocchi was good, the spinach fettucine was great. The tartufo and fig tarte were good.On the way out, the maitre d' introduced us to his daughter who was also a host. I asked if he was the owner and he said, "I work for my wife. She's the chef, she's the boss." Loved it!

Wonderful for date night, couples or family. White linen table cloths, candlelight and a great staff along with tremendous food options with the owners/family there as chef, host and hostess overseeing all. BYOB as well

I was happy to see that the dining room was full on a Saturday evening. Good for the restaurant. It was noisy but I could have an easy conversation with my guest. Service was reasonably attentive but we were provided dessert menus after appetizers and before our entrees were served. Perhaps that error was due to the fact that staff waits on multiple tables. We were on table 25. I/we have dined previously at La Pergola. The interior is a beautiful color, particularly in daylight. I would/will dine there again.

Great service, pretty atmosphere and delicious food. Had a table by the window for a Saturday lunch and everything we ordered was delicious! We recommend the figs, tuna and squash soup. The almond cake and cappuccino topped off a fantastic 3 course meal

Five of us surprised my aunt with dinner. First time here. Everyone loved it. Still getting people making comments on how good the food and service was days later. Highly recommend.
