    a plate of food
    Lisa R.

    A good friend introduced me to this unique spot and I couldn't be happier! This is a really great bar/restaurant to go to if you appreciate exceptional food as well! The food here was impressive, when my friend asked me to meet her at the "bar" I wasn't expecting such phenomenal tasting food! I tried the chicken picatta and it's still on my mind. It had to be one of the best chicken picatta dishes I've had in a long time! My friend sent me home with some pizza she purchased, and that was delicious as well! If you're a seafood fan, you'll find plenty of options here too!! I look forward to coming here more regularly after work a s trying more things on the meni

    First time to this restaurant in Stratford. Where this place lacks in seating area, it makes up with its food. My husband and I had the fish and chips and it was delicious. This may be our go to during lent. Our waitress was very friendly

    On the recommendation of a friend we tried this place for our Friday food adventure! It was quite the drive for us but we're glad we tried this unique place on Ferry Blvd in Stratford. All covid precautions were taken including wiping down tables between visits and mark wearing. Our food was perfect , the fish was light and crispy (as a Brit I'm picky about that ;)) and the salmon was oven baked just right with a delicious cream sauce and sweet cherry tomato halves, and my request for double spinach instead of carbs was no problem at all. A mix up with our order was corrected graciously and we were surprised to be presented with a $15 gift card at checkout to apologize for the wait whilst it was fixed... and we hadn't even complained! The wings were crispy and perfectly seasoned ... could have eaten those all day! Very pleasant experience, nice location and friendly staff! Definitely worth the drive so we'll be back to use that gift card!

    Buffalo wings. Huge and the perfect spice.  Blue cheese is awesome too!

    Great, old-school neighborhood bar. Manager Vic is always there to greet guests and make sure they have everything they need. Nicole at the bar is awesome and knows everyone's names. $1 wings on happy hour and always a nice pour of wine!

    The food used to be fantastic. We went last night and it was not good at all. The service was amazing though. I am not sure what happened.

    I don't normally bother with reviews, but I'm making an exception for La Vera. We've been coming…read morehere since before moving to North Stratford years ago, when it was still called "Capodicci's". Capodicci ran off to Switzerland to get married, but his partner John stayed and we're sure glad he did. Food is always FANTASTIC. The homemade, not frozen pre-made from a lasagna factory (like a lot of places: you'd be surprised), lasagna is the BEST. The customer service is top notch and Larry is the star of the show when it comes to a great experience. He is PHENOMENAL at fixing your order last minute when you make a colossal blunder (which I have a few times), and his recommendations have never let me down. Farti has wonderful phone manners and is in charge of cheese. Don't believe him if he promises to hook you up with beard oil ;  ) I'm still waiting and it's been 11 years. As Chief of Cheese, he takes his grating responsibilities very seriously (parmesan is grated fresh every morning, and kept refrigerated ). He's pretty good about letting you use more than you should too. John the owner is a pleasure to talk to and prides himself on quality food. Gary always delivers a piping hot, fresh from the oven pizza, and couldn't be more courteous and timely. All in all, I would HIGHLY recommend La Vera. Forgot to mention the foccacia bread sandwiches. I actually wrote home about them, and surprisingly, mom wrote back for a change. She asked how they were and I told her "The Best, Mama, THE BEST!". They really are though. Standouts are the #4 Chicken cutlet, bacon, roasted peppers, red onion and herb mayo, #9 Roast beef, provolone, fried onion and mayo and #8 Pastrami, Swiss, fried onion and Dijon. #10 Steak and Cheese w/ mushrooms, onions and mayo. Finally, ALL their pizza is the outstanding and if you get one with the works, you get THE WORKS. They're NOT stingy with toppings like a lot of places who drop a few bacon crumbs and a pepperoni piece on a pie and claim it qualifies as a "meat lovers". We get pizza every Friday, and almost always get it from here. End of story, go get yourself a pie from La Vera tonight!

    Called for pickup 2 slices pizza and 2 stuffed breads. They wanted 54.00. I called back and asked…read morewhy so much. I was told 18 for one of the stuffed breads and 25 for the stuffed bread with vegetables. I have ordered these multiple times and was told 18 for each. I asked why 25 and was told because gas went up. This place has repeatedly given multiple different pricing on the same things ordered The same. Stuffed breads with one meat I paid between 13 and 18 dollars. The food is ok but inconsistent pricing and saying that 25. For a 3 simple vegetable stuffed bread is outrageous. I'm done with them!

They also didn't taste fresh,not crispy, just kind of stale & reheated. Def not what you expect when you're craving good wings(especially for the price I paid 8 "half" wings=$15). As for the pizza, I ordered a small pie thinking it would be a decent size to share or at least have leftovers but it was more like a personal pan pizza. That's how small it was. If you're really hungry, you'll def want to size up. The portion didn't match what I'd expect for a "small" at a typical pizza spot. The price was also high for personal pizza as well(about $13). I will say, the wings are usually good but just not today. The pizza itself tasted good, even though it could've used more cheese. They actually added sauce this time, which I appreciated because it's usually a bit dry. It was a bit oily as well. Overall, I gave it 2 stars. The flavor of the pizza saved it, but the wing quality & portion sizes were disappointing on this visit. My bf is the 1 who always chooses to eat here. I'm not a big fan. The place inside is a bit small but there's a couple of tables if you want to dine in. The cashier who took care of me was a little snotty. Could have been more nice especially w/ all the competition out there. Honestly, idk how this place stays afloat & so many ppl. like it.

My chicken parm grinder was soggy, still not sure how even the outside of the bread ended up wet. The garlic bread used to have real chunks of garlic, but today I didn't find a single piece. The cheese felt harder than usual too. Honestly, I was disappointed. I won't be ordering this again.
