When you have a restaurant that serves incredible food or good food that is really inexpensive or both, you get a pass on certain other deficiencies - like bad lighting, stained tablecloths, manager making loud personal calls on his cell phone all night, etc. But when your food is mediocre at best and the prices high, you do not get a pass. In fact, you get passed by in favor of other nearby restaurants that do offer quality food, at reasonable prices, who do concern themselves with providing a dining atmosphere. For this reason, I would not recommend La Perla and I would not go back. 6E for a small glass fo white wine?! The fried meatball that accompanied it did not make up for the cost even if it had not been ice cold in the center. An antipasto of fried anchovies and artichokes was heavy on the batter and light on the seafood. Gnocchi with shrimp and pecorino had a flavorful sauce but the single shrimp or maybe one and a half that went into the dish we cut up into tiny pieces barely bigger than the tiny, but chewy, gnocchi. This steps away from a fisherman's wharf! 34.50E for a meal that truly matched the atmosphere inside, not outside, this restaurant. read more
