I've driven past La Stalla Cucina Rustica several times on my way to 98 South or El Zocalo but for some reason I'd never eaten there. It might be the long, multi-syllabic name...places with names like that can be a little intimidating sometimes. Still, I was in the mood for a different spot and Italian cuisine sounded good so I thought we'd give it a try. I had the Penne alla Vodka. Let's just say, my plate was clean at the end. My experience with the service was really good. The only hiccup during our visit is that the glass of wine the person I was with ordered had little bits of cork in it. I mentioned it to our server and they quickly apologized and replaced it. No harm done! We finished off having the tiramisu for dessert. It had a really good flavor and the portion size was perfect for sharing.
