It’s a nice restaurant . Best to sit in patio . Food is delicious although we just had salads. Servers were nice but service is average. They have an eclectic menu we had salads that were delicious. Prices are pretty high for what you get and the very casual atmosphere. I would go back.

About the restaurant
While pizza and pasta are just the tip of the Italian iceberg, there is a reason these two culinary staples are the most beloved exports from Italy. At La Pizza & La Pasta, enjoy our seasonal selection just steps away from where our expert pasta chefs and dough-slinging pizzaioli (pizza makers) create dishes before your eyes.

My husband and I really enjoyed our experience. We both work in hospitality and have been looking forward to trying Baltair for quite some time. The host team was very welcoming. We Loved the decor and ambience. Our server was super kind and attentive. The support staff were also great. We felt very taken care of. Our favorite items were the tuna poke tartar and the lobster bisque soup. Dessert was delicious too. We will definitely be back. Thank you.

It had the feel of a private engagement for just our family. Franky should be considered the top choice for entertaining groups or private parties.
