    Our server was delightful but the food was a real disappointment. There were 4 of us and only 1 person enjoyed his meal. The rest of us described our dishes as “bland,” “skimpy” and “boring.” $40’ for a bland plate of risotto just isn’t worth it This is our second time here and the previous visit was great. Not sure if it was an off night or a change in chefs, but we wouldn’t go back.

    Hello Craig, Thank you for your honest review and I am extremely sorry that on your 2nd visit the value proposition was just not there. We really value your feedback and I have brought this review to the attention of our culinary team. I would be interested to find out exactly what dishes you felt were not of a solid value other than the risotto. I would love to engage you in conversation so that I can address these issues and invite you back to La Connessa with full confidence that we take hospitality extremely seriously and we know how to take a negative situation and turn it into a lasting positive relationship. I hope to hear from you soon. Warmest regards, Andrew Fuentes General Manager

    Our waitress was absolutely amazing but the rest of the staff was running like a headless chicken. Completely discombobulated, I get the idea of them trying to be helpful but they actually do more harm than good. We had a good amount of left overs so another person came and offered to box it. The amazing waitress offered us experimental cocktails so we staid probably 20/30 min after we paid the bill. Our packaged food was never given back to us nor we saw the employee that took it away. It’s not about the food but the principle and the service.

    Hello Alan, Thank you for your review and your comments about the amazing waitress and the cocktails that you enjoyed. I would be interested in speaking with you about your comments about "doing more harm than good". The staff all tries to be extremely attentive and we normally receive great service reviews, but on occasion we don't hit it just right. The fact that you didn't receive your food after it was packaged is not acceptable. I would love to offer you a gift card for the items that you didn't get to take home with you. I can be reached at 628.221.0123 if you would like to take me up on my offer. Respectfully, Andrew Fuentes General Manager

    We were not happy with our initial table but the manager graciously moved us to another table. Our server Gustavo was terrific. We ordered agnolotti and pollo al mattone and both were delicious.
