The service was quite quick and fantastic. They were so attentive to us and made sure everything was fine while also being super friendly. We got the Chicken parm and the seafood pasta. The chick parm was so delicious and the filling. The seafood pasta was loaded up with clams and mussels and the fettuccine was cooked al dente like I like. We also got oysters and calamari which was also delicious. The calamari has Brussel sprouts which were crispy. We will return in the future

We had heard about La Voglia and decided to try it out! We went on a Friday evening and it wasn't…read moretoo crowded. The restaurant has a warm feel to it and is decorated nicely. They serve a delicious homemade bread that's warm when it's brought the table. In addition, it's accompanied by a dish of olive oil, with balsamic vinegar and what I believed to be a spicy dusting of pepper. It was a little too spicy for me - however, I did like the addition of the balsamic as a change from just olive oil. I would skip the pepper though, unless you like spice. We ordered the Polpette as an appetizer; it's a 'tradition' of mine. If meatballs are on the menu, I will always order them. These lamb, veal and beef meatballs were very good, and the marinara sauce they came in was excellent! The sauce is actually a 'roasted pomodoro' gravy - which is an 'intensified' version of a classic Italian sauce. It's made by roasting the tomatoes at a very high heat and almost caramelizing them. A little feta was added to the sauce, which really highlighted those meatballs!! We split the order - as 5 meatballs is quite a large appetizer! We decided to share two entrees - the Beef Short Ribs and the Lobster Ravioli. I always ask if the short ribs are lean - our server responded they were very lean...and they were. Soft, tender and very flavorful large chunks of beef, with a deliciously rich gravy with mushrooms on a bed a creamy garlic mashed potatoes! It was a superb dish! The website said the Short Ribs were the restaurant's most popular meal. Next, the Lobster Ravioli. The dish was a very 'delicate' one, with a very subtle brandy cream sauce. It had chopped jumbo shrimp and peeled cherry tomatoes with the raviolis. While the sauce tasted fine, it needed 'something' - we added pepper which helped. The raviolis were good - we couldn't taste lobster in the cheese of the raviolis - we assumed it was there. The chopped shrimps though provided a nice additional seafood flavor. I like my raviolis tender - the kind that almost melt in your mouth. The pasta here was firmer - a little more 'al dente', but it was fine. We ended our meal with the Chocolate Mousse. Served in a martini glass, the mousse had a velvety texture with a deep dark chocolate flavor. It was very rich yet light and fluffy; a good choice for dessert!

The service is always impeccable and extremely personable. Molto Molto bene e GRAZIE!!!!

Interesting set up of a very mature family restaurant that intersects with the modern day era of tap room for wine and beer... a gold mine for sure for the owners providing something for nearly everyone's taste. So many great pizza options and to top if off you can do 1/2 and 1/2 in the same pie which is what we opt to do with 1/2 sausage adn honey and 1/2 san marzano.... a great blend. With so many pizzia places through out region we have lots of options yet I feel for these businesses whose quest is to differ. There is room for them all but each needs their own hook. I guess or Vince's their hook is the tap wall. Our server Jillian was fabulous and helpful. Food was fresh, tasty and very well prepared. When we saw some pies coming out more crisp and burnt spots we quickly asked that ours not be so burnt and that was a great call on our part. The pie slices held up, were very teaty and a nice dose to topping ingredients. Met new possible friends, talked up until near closing on this Sunday night. Great spot. Enjoy!

You all made us feel like family, very special, send special appreciation for helping to make our night a most memorable one. We started night off by asking for the bartender to surprise me with my drink choice which laterd I was to learn that it was being called a Fruity Vodka Mystery Drink for billing yet it was delicious and not fruity. Love it when service industry folks have a a good sense of humor. BTW, my wife had the The Great Escape and loved it. For our opening dish we loved the PEI Mussels in a fra diavlo sauce and boy those cut up pieces of hot pepper were perfect complement to the heat of the dish. Loved it! Next we shared the spring mix salad with one swap (sub goat cheese) and they did. Thank you!! For our main we enjoyed the Amali Vitello with Fusilli... a perfect complement to our dish choices. To wrap up a fun and delicious evening we were shocked by a gift of the house from Amali and Fami with their new sensational table side Tiramisu Tri Flights. (oreo tiramisu, pecan tiramisu and regular tiramisu) with strawberry's. Holy cow what a lovely and most tasty way to finish up our wedding anniversary dinner. A perfect night spent with an awesome staff and two of the most lovelest restuaranteers. The kith staff continues to out due themselves especially the new seasonal menu. Hint, hint, try the butternut squast gnocchi. A receipe perfect by Sal. Special thanks to the staff and hugs and kisses for Amali, Famil and Liz.

We were seated at a round table for six near the front of the restaurant, which gave us a great vantage point to watch the bustling Friday night crowd while still making it easy to talk. The energy in the room added to the experience and set the tone for a fun evening. There were lots of cocktail options from both the regular menu and a Valentine's Day special list. The food menu offered many choices. We started by sharing lamb chops with the guys and I grabbed a taste of the burrata salad from the girl side of the table. The lamb was flavorful and cooked perfectly. The arugula burrata salad had a great blend of fresh flavors. For my entrée, I ordered the rigatoni carbonara: ample portion that afforded me leftovers. Others enjoyed the lobster linguini and tortellini bolognese. Great food, great atmosphere, and a lively crowd. We'll definitely consider coming back again.

The meal started with some bruschetta , followed by a basket of bread and seasoned olive oil , on the house. Our party of 4 shared 3 appetizers and two entrees. The portions were substantial and everything was fresh and well prepared. We started with the delicious grilled calamari , served with fresh tomato, red onion , capers and arugula; superb. We had the marinated artichoke hearts with cheese and truffle oil, and the fig carpaccio , both very good. For entrees we shared the Bronzino, filleted at the table , and the linguini with fresh seafood. Our server, Alina , was so helpful, making great recommendations upon request, as well as extremely personable and responsive. This restaurant was definitely a cut above what's typical for this price range and in this area. I look forward to returning soon.

We waited close to an hour for our entrees while the restaurant continued to fill up. With a hungry toddler, the long delay made it difficult to enjoy the visit. After waiting so long, we ultimately asked to have our food packed to go because staying any longer wasn't practical for our family. We also noticed that several nearby tables appeared to receive their entrees before we did, despite arriving after us, which left us feeling overlooked. As Asian and Puerto Rican customers, this made us wonder whether we were being treated differently. We can't know for certain what caused the delay, but the experience left us feeling unwelcome and overshadowed what should have been an enjoyable meal. (Edit: the food that we took home was delicious and beautifully presented but couldn't overshadow the service and unwelcoming presence)
