My parent's live in Chandler and La Stalla is one of the reasons we visit them as often as we do...don't get me wrong, I love my parents - but if I'm going to drive from N. Phoenix, there better be some good food involved!
We started going to La Stalla a couple of years ago because everything else was so crowded...we were a little concerned that there might be a reason La Stalla wasn't crowded - but then again we were starving and so we chanced it. Thank goodness we did! It is one of the better Italian places in the valley...now the problem is if it gets too popular we won't be able to get in!
While I have ordered off the menu, I generally get the special...I have had exceptional Salmon - crispy on the outside, slightly pink, moist and tender on the inside...Also, one night the special was wild boar, so you know I had to try it - it was fantastic. Also, the pizzas are really good if you like more down to earth eating. All in all, a great place - we need more like it in the Valley.
