    We’ve been to La Vela many times, and it’s always outstanding. Fettuccine Bolognese, is excellent, and the roasted duck, with a few minor adaptations for my wife’s food sensitivities, is the best she’s ever had. The service is great. This time we were there for our anniversary, and we loved it.

    We had made a same day reservation for 8, had to wait a little bit for a large party to get up before our table was ready. We had drinks at the bar and preordered our appetizers. Staff was very attentive and apologetic for delay. Food was excellent and as someone with seafood allergies, I didn’t feel as though I was limited to just one or two items on the menu. The main dining room is small but there is a heated outdoor patio with additional tables or you can sit and enjoy your meal at the bar.
