Came here cus friend loves this place and said the pasta is amazing.. And he's right about the pasta! The rigatoni is perfect al dente and the sauce is delicious (I got it without sausage). Definitely want to return for more pasta!
Cute space, extremely disappointing experience. The restaurant itself is nice, but the service missed the mark from the start. Our server brought four small pieces of focaccia to the table without saying anything or asking if we wanted bread. At the end of the meal, we were charged $6 per person for it, which felt misleading. If bread isn’t complimentary, that should be clearly explained before it’s brought out. Later, when we asked to split the bill four ways, we were met with resistance. The
LaVagna is the neighborhood joint even though I live on the UWS that I always come home to and for; GREAT whole food, rich with spices, as if eating at your grandmothers home. The service is always great, so welcoming, Roy will remember your drink/cocktail and have it ready for even before you lift your eyes from the menu......this is truly a gem to dine, solo, with friend or on a date...it's intimate and safe, the staff including the kitchen, are friendly and accommodating with any request.
