| - I love, love, love, love, love, love, love this place. LOVE. As the daughter of a New York Italian who knows her way around the kitchen, it's so wonderful to find a place that has food almost exactly like moms.
The pizza is fantastic, as good as real NY pizza, and even better than some places in NY. And the wings are AMAZING. One thing I will say about the wings, I generally order the hot sauce on the SIDE. It's a very hot sauce and they are drenched in it. I find the medium sauce to be a bit bland and greasy, so I find that just being able to control the amount of hot sauce I have is the best option. But the wings themselves are delicious and crispy. None of that fatty, flappy, grisly bits you get at chain pizza places.
I usually expect the actual entrees at a pizza place to be pretty bad. Before trying their entrees, I had never had a positive experience with pasta or Italian entrees at pizza places. But La Famiglia's entrees and pasta is delicious. Eggplant parmesan is one of my favorite dishes and I love theirs. Their tortellini pesto is quite good too. A bit heavy on the pesto, but that's just being nitpicky.
Cannolis? Amazing.
They used to have Black and White cookies that were so delicious, but apparently no one orders them so they no longer make them. I do hope people start requesting them more so they will bring them back!
I'm not in LOVE with most of their other appetizers. The batter on their fried foods (calamari, zucchini, etc.) is a bit heavy for me and I feel a bit sick after just a few bites and find I don't want to eat anything else. So I never order them. I do wish they'd reconsider the batter and come up with something lighter because I'd love to be able to get some calamari. I also wish the calamari was just rings and not the tentacles, because... well.. tentacles.
My one other criticism is that they are pretty strict and misleading about their hours. They say it's delivery until 8:00PM on the weekdays, but if you call after 7:30PM, you're out of luck. I think this is far too early to stop delivery to begin with, but if you are going to advertise for 8:00PM, I think you should take orders until 8:00PM.
I did see some reviews about rude staff. I did have ONE bad experience awhile back, but haven't had any trouble since. It's family owned and operated, with a few non-family employees. And, well, everyone has a bad day. My one experience hasn't deterred me from going, nor has their rigid policies on their hours.
Overall, I still give it 5 full stars, regardless of personal feelings about some menu items or policies because the food is good enough that it really doesn't even matter. Please go.. and request black and white cookies so I can have them again!
