A contemporary blend of semi formal and casual design. This restaurant embodies the care and passion any guest would desire from their experience.
Every ingredient from simple bread with butter to meat and cheese board to their lasagna is carefully crafted, mostly in house ingredients with subtle, well balanced and dynamic taste that both excite, and when appropriate, give a simplistic appreciation to each bite.
The wine menu continued their trend of thoughtfulness with Italian varietals that only the true aficionado would recognize; however, the waiter did not hesitate to guide and find the bottle of wine that could not have been better matched to the delectable food we were relishing.
Lastly, the service cemented my opinion of this truly outstanding restaurant. Not only because the service was kind, attentive, and respectful, but whether the server, food runner, or hostess came to us, every time it was the same, genuine desire to ensure we enjoyed every moment while we were there.
This restaurant has defined the standard of modern hospitality. The gratuity is included with every check, regardless of size, and shared with the entire staff that makes me appreciate that gratuity did not define the experience they created for me and the people I was with. I look forward to coming back to this wonderful restaurant, and I hope any restaurant that aspires to be something more will heed what L’Oca d’Oro has done.
I'm rating this 5 stars only because it won't go to 11. I cannot say enough good things about this place. Heavenly food, tremendous service, and great value for the price. If you are lucky enough to be here when the beet risotto is on the menu, I highly recommend it.
Came here for happy hour and ordered a appetizer and a drink. The vibe is wonderful and we enjoyed it. The happy hour is a little limited than a lot of other places but everything we had was very good.
Update: I’d been thinking about the pasta so came back to try it this evening and it was outstanding. We shared three dishes and dessert between our table and everything was incredible and so fresh. I can’t wait to come back, this is some of the best pasta dishes I’ve ever had!!
Overall everything came out good. We had to send back the ribeye tho. But they didn't hesitate to take it back because we added door medium rare and it came out med - med/well. Really glad they did. Very good customer service. The apps and side had a very nice char,/BBQ flavor. Very please. I'm very interested in this pasta course.
The food is really good, they have some interesting takes on traditional dishes. We did the 6 course Valentine's Day dinner and it was really delicious. The staff are all really friendly as well. I highly recommend you check it out, you will leave full and satisfied!
