  • This is more like a 1.5/5. I love Campagnolo, so I expected the same quality of food from La Palma, given that they're both owned by the same people. I was, however, extremely disappointed. I think this is a case where a restaurant places more emphasis on ambiance and appearance versus quality of food. The restaurant itself has a great California-cool, laid-back energy. Feels like summer when you step inside, with lots of white and pastel green. The servers all have a uniform, which I thought was a little bit tacky, but evokes a retro vibe and fits well with their theme. The food left a lot to be desired. My friend and I started with the 100 layer lasagna. It looked great but I'm sure any Italian grandma would be sorely disappointed. It was not fresh. The noodle sheets were rubbery, and some portions of the lasagna (near the middle) were downright COLD! Also, there was a severe lack of cheese, save for a gentle grating of mozzarella on top. There was no ricotta or any cheese detectable between the noodle layers. The bolognese sauce was nothing special and strongly reminded me of jarred spaghetti sauce that is reheated and served in a school cafeteria. We also ordered the sous-vide/grilled octopus, which was quite tender but lacked flavour. Our side of roasted cauliflower was overcooked till rubbery and limp, and served cold with an extremely salty bagna cauda dressing. The only good thing about this meal were the chorizo meatballs, which were hot (finally, a hot food item!) and flavourful, and served on a juicy, blistered red pepper with a side of crusty, grilled bread. Note that the sauce was SUPER DRY and had formed a skin. Unfortunately, dessert was not much better. We ordered millefoglia with vanilla pastry cream, passion fruit and mango. Sounds delicious, right? This was actually such a disappointment. The puff pastry was not light and flaky (it felt thick and hard, like Skyflakes crackers), and more importantly, THERE WAS ESSENTIALLY PASSION FRUIT OR MANGO. There were two thin, decorative lines of coloured gel on the side of the plate - one of passion fruit, one of mango. THAT WAS IT. What is the point of even having it there? Overall, the food looked amazing but the quality was very poor and both my friend and I were not impressed at all. I would not recommend and will not be returning.
