Smart, appropriately lit, Parisian-themed wood-based room, with modest and intelligent use of mirrors, attentive and friendly but not doting waitstaff, impressive balance of flavors in both salad and entree, very pleasing butterscotch custard, wide array of fun cocktails and an ample wine selection all make for a pleasant and gratifying dining experience

Pablo has been our server many times before and as always did a wonderful job. It was a beautiful evening on the patio which the food and drink complemented nicely. We enjoyed the ahi tuna appetizer, garden salad, and two tasty, well prepared pasta dishes. The cacio e pepe was perfection. It was another excellent dining experience at La Notte.

Food surprised us with how delicious it was. We had smash burgers and shepard's pie. Side dishes (salad and asparagus) were generously portioned and excellent. Prices were moderate, especially given how expensive dining out has become. Nice ambiance. Will return!

We had an excellent anniversary dinner! The staff was welcoming and helped us make our evening very special. We appreciated their unique takes on classic fare. Everything was delicious and perfectly prepared. We can’t wait to go back for their prime rib dinner. Highly recommend!
