La Spiaggia Restaurant

Delicious food. Apps were great.

Good upscale fare. Pricey. Dated appearance.

We have a home in Beach Haven West that many friends and relatives rent from us. Many have told us the La Spiaggia was delicious. So we decided to give it a try. Boy were they right!!! We had excellent food and terrific service. They have an early dinner 3 course menu ranging from $20 for spaghetti to $26 for filet mignon and lots of varied choices in-between. The regular menu had numerous choices and everything we saw served looked wonderful. They have a limited wine menu but no liquor license in case you like to have some drinks with dinner. Certainly worth the hype and the trip. Very nice ambiance and valet parking too!

I put La Spiaggia in the "great Italian restaurant wannabe" category. It's definitely on par with other fine dining restaurants when it comes to service and the ambience is nice as well. But at the end of the day, the meal itself needs to be above average too. And that's where La Spiaggia falls short.

Of course, I can say that about many, many restaurants on LBI!

I recently used La Spiaggia to cater a private event for ~55 people, all of whom have *raved* to me about both the fantastic food and the impeccable service. Chef Dan Stragapede helped me develop a truly wonderful menu, and the servers left our property cleaner than when they found it, after making sure every single guest was happy from start to finish. I only hope I can find another reason to hire them again. Reasonably priced (particularly during peak season on the island), outstanding quality.
