                                Staff was very friendly and the food was good. Love how quick paying your bill is via QR code. Only down side was that it was very loud in there tonight but everything else was good.

                                La Sera is a wonderful new find. Food is delicious, portions large and very reasonably priced. Homemade pasta is a treat. Will return often. Looking forward to their new pastry and gelato cafe next door.

                                The food at La Sera was absolutely delicious. We were a party of 4 and all 4 appetizers and entrees were so well prepared using the freshest ingredients. The menu has a good variety, and they even went the extra mile by adding crabmeat at my request to my shrimp and scallop dish. The portions are very plentiful ( I definitely could have shared an entree). I hope this wonderful newish restaurant has the success they deserve. We all left looking forward to returning.

                                What a great find! We were desperate for authentic Italian and La Sera delivered! We went at lunch time but they let us order off the dinner menu. It is a small quaint spot in a bustling neighborhood. It is BYOB so had to find a bottle of wine down the street to complement the meal.
