La Gondola

Great food at a reasonable price. Love their Chicken Parm… you taste so good!

Tiny restaurant with BIG flavor. Their signature rigatoni dish is amazing!!! I’m not a guy who eats sausage but I’ve had to break that rule a few times because of this place. Make a reservation because there are only like 5 tables

Well unfortunately they have lost a very good customer! I ordered a large order tonight and like always we ordered their bruschetta because we usually love it. Well tonight it was awful the bruschetta came smushed in the tin and the tomatoes were frozen. For the first time in 5 years I called and complained and asked for a credit. I was told by the «owner» that tomatoes are not in season and that he should have warned me the bruschetta would be bad and offered no credit and said next time he would throw in a slice of tiramisu! Well thanks but I think its only fair to credit me back for your crappy not in season bruschetta. Last time i ever order from them!

Firstly, the food and service were both outstanding. We shared calamari that was grilled and tender, I had the gnocchi and my date had the tortellini panna, which I sampled and thought was rich, tasty, and well-​seasoned. We went there on Saturday 1÷23÷16 and had the pleasure of being taken care of by the male waiter, I think his name was Dee? He was very attentive, was very bubbly, fun, and polite. He helped make our night special and I’ll definitely be back because of the staff and great food. The menu is extensive and you get the sense that the pastas are homemade.
As people have said before, the restaurant appears from the outside as being just a strip mall eatery but it is super cozy/​romantic with just 5 – 6 tables, the lighting is low, and the ambiance is kept by candles and window drapes. There’s a unique, family feel to this place, with what seemed like a lot of regulars passing through for food and drinks. Keep up the good work here!

The food was delicious and the service outstanding. We held a party at the restaurant and the staff anticipated our every need. It was wonderful to have abundant parking right outside the door of the restaurant. The fresh leafy salad, savory bread, roasted potatoes and broccoli were perfectly prepared, and the entrées did not disappoint. Our very experienced and pleasant server, Anthony, kept everything rolling smoothly and didn’t skip a beat even when a couple of minor crises occasioned by scatter-​brained guests who lost their cell phones and misplaced a purse happened. We were able to have conversations and not have to shout at each other to make ourselves heard. They even played wonderful classical music at our request. They served up our champagne and birthday cake at the right time and never once rushed us out of there even though we stayed beyond our reserved time slot. If you ever want to have a fun and effortless party for 24 or less people, I highly recommend this cozy place. They took care of us and we will never forget our experience there.

Not a fan of this place, my husband and I went here a while ago for Valentine’s Day. Service was okay, food was horrible! We both were violently ill!

Delicious! I ordered the rigatoni special to split with my girlfriend. It was very filling and outstanding. The calamari is decent, but nothing special.

Doesn’t this place have pizza boxes for dine in customers to take their remaining pizza home?
They put our 12 remaining pizza slices in a single styrofoam box. They put the pizza slices on top of each other. They didn’t separate the pizza slices with wax paper. By the time we came home the pizza turned into a soggy pizza ball.

Always a great pizza and salad!

I ordered out for delivery and I must say the food was excellent. You must try the grilled calamari with artichokes. 5 stars. The food came fast and hot. Thank you, will definitely order again.

Nice and cozy little restaurant. Food was excellent, everything tastes so homemade. We ordered garden salad with their special balsamic vinaigrette dressing, and thin crust vegetarian pizza, all of it was tasty, made up with high quality fresh ingredients.
Anthony, our waiter, made the experience fun and enjoyable, he was very friendly and knowledgeable about everything in their menu. This is a place we will definitely be coming back!

Good solid Italian food. Not a big dinning room so call ahead or have it delivered. All of the past is top notch and love that entrees come with soup or salad. Try the pasta carbonara!

A very small, very welcoming restaurant. The food is amazing and filling. The best thing is that they deliver. The staff is extremely friendly and knowledgeable of the menu. I will for sure be coming here often. Please remember to make a reservation as this is a small place and also popular.

Let me say it is the best lasagna I have came across the soft noodles with melted ricotta cheese so good and either meat or marinara sauce is great and only 16 $ hope they don’t raise since I said that but it is wonderful. Also the salads are good and they bring over fresh pepper and the bread is also great and comes for a dining there. Overall 5 stars stay great LA gondola.

Found a live bug in my wife’s salad. It was climbing out from the bottom half way through the meal. It was pretty disgusting so we ended up throwing away everything from this place. If they can’t properly wash salad, whats to say they are prepping anything else properly. Called the place to complain and he gave us credit for the salad on the next purchase even though I said we wouldn’t eat there again. I expected a full refund. If not, refund me for the salad, instead of stupid credits that I won’t use. What makes him think I would be a returning customer?
To be fair, their food is pretty good for the most part. I would give the other food we ordered a 4 star.

The old time rustic food was comforting and warming. The waiter was fabulous. He makes you feel like you need to eat there ten times a day. Go and eat.

Found this place on groupon, thought it would be a great place for me and my boyfriend for my birthday dinner. Couldn’t pass up the deal so he just bought it. When we first arrived I was surprised on how small it was. It had an intimate feeling about it, we ordered the fried calamari which I loved, then for dinner I got the gnocchi Calabrese which was amazing and my boyfriend got the lasagna which was also amazing. We edged with the tiramisu which was to die for. I would 100% recommend this place but only for small groups since they only have 6 tables in the restaurant. Our server Anthony was amazing as well.

Nice, low key spot. I’ve been craving lobster ravioli for months (had it at RPM but my friends made me share so I got 1.5 pieces — not cool and so it doesn’t count). My friend and I went here cuz we found a great deal on groupon. The place is pretty tiny and in a strip-​mall but it was cute nonetheless. We got the calamari which was pretty good and i got the lobster ravioli which was pretty standard. The portion sizes were large and the sauce was a but rich for me but I’d definitely go again to try other stuff in their menu. Our server was super fun and made it a pleasure to be there!

I have ordered out from this place about 3 times and actually dined in once. It is a hidden gem. Super tiny, romantic, and cozy Italian spot located on a small strip mall. They have great service and really good gnocchi and vodka. Everything comes out on time and hot.

This is my favorite place to order pasta from. Although, I’ve never been to the actual restaurant I’m sure the food and service will be as wonderful. My boyfriend is obsessed with the beef sauce mostaccioli. I’ve tried an array of things from here and they all been great!

This is an update as we’ve been happy customers for at least 7 or 8 years and we went again last night and ended up having the specials. Same great service (thanks «D») and the fresh bread hasn’t changed. From the specials board, we had a grilled portabella mushroom with spinach that was fabulous.
My main was Shrimp Parmesan which for me was the first time that I’d ever heard of that combination and I loved it. Food was steaming hot, great atmosphere, great service.
There are only 2 2-​person tables & 3 4-​person tables, so call for reservation if you are looking to eat in. Wine list is adequate, we’ve never gone wrong with our selections, last night we had the house red and thoroughly enjoyed it (yes, I should have had white with shrimp, but it worked for me).
Parking is easy/​never a problem in the «mall» lot at Ashland & Wellington.

Thank you LaGondola’s for delivering in this blizzard today! Super Bowl Sunday and its horrible out, and as much as we would have liked to come in and eat we had it delivered.
We Ordered the medium deep dish sausage and onion pizza. It was great! Good flavor in the sauce and plenty of sausage on the pizza. We also ordered the calamari, it was good and I’m thinking better when you get it there.
Looking forward to having dinner there and trying one of the pasta dishes.

La Gondola has the best Italian take-​out/​delivery I’ve been ordering from La Gondola for 6 years and the food is always delicious. Unlike other Italian delivery, the pasta is not over-​cooked and mushy.
My go-​to dish is the Rigatonia Boscaiolla (mushrooms and sausage in a tomato cream sauce); it’s delicious! I’ve also had the pizzas which are thin-​crust, tasty, and heavy-​handed on the toppings.
Service is incredibly friendly.
I have never dined in but the restaurant is small with only a handful or so of tables.
