Food, service, ambiance -- that's why I go to a restaurant. I suspect I am not alone.
La Calabria *nails* in on two of those three criteria. The food was fantastic. I had the Cannelloni - a simple dish, but done wrong it can be a miserable experience. La Calabria did it right. Way right.
My lovely bride had the Chicken Marsala. Given how she fended off my reaching fork, I'd say it was also outstanding.
Service was superior. And friendly. The owner stopped by twice just to make sure things were right. Our party of seven just mumbled and nodded our heads because our mouths were stuffed full of Italian goodness.
The only place La Calabria is lacking is in ambiance. They've done about everything they can with the space but it's not real warm and cozy. Don't get me wrong, it's not bad, just not as perfect as the food and service.
Yelp needs to allow half-stars, because La Calabria really is a 4.5 star kind of place.
Go. Eat. Be Merry.
