A friend and I dined at La Calabria yesterday for the first time. It certainly will not be our last!
The food and service were absolutely first rate. Our server, Kayla, was very knowledgeable about the menu and the evening's specials, and she was able to answer any and all of our questions. Kayla was professional, friendly and very efficient -- excellent server.
We started with the special appetizer of fresh asparagus wrapped in prosciutto, lightly breaded and sauteed. The asparagus was cooked to perfection, still slightly crunchy and very flavorful. It was the perfect start to a totally delicious meal.
I had the lobster ravioli which was out of this world perfection. The ravioli were topped with 2 sea scallops, cooked just right to avoid tough/rubbery texture, and a shrimp. The sauce was very rich but at the same time very light. The whole dish was outstanding.
My friend had the veal chop special. It was cooked perfectly and had delicious flavor. Like the ravioli dish, the portion as very generous. Half the veal chop went home with my friend to make a perfect 2nd meal today.
I am not giving La Calabria 5 stars because the decor/atmosphere is a little bare bones for me. This is a minor quibble, and it should be noted that the excellent food and service compensate for the plain decor.
