    We just returned from a wonderful dinner at La Summa, and will certainly be making a return visit. It’s a comfortable place, white table cloths but come-as-you-are, and was very busy on this Saturday evening. The service was friendly and helpful (though non parle italiano), and there was a surprise performance by three very good singers (they solicited tips afterwards, but it was well worth it for the addition to the evening). We had a shared house salad, veal parm, and a seafood pasta dish, and all were well prepared and delicious. I ordered a half bottle of wine from their good selection of reasonably priced wines. For us, this was a great spot for a fun evening.

    We came at the very busy time, Valentine’s Day. Despite our reservation we had to wait for about half hour though it was expected considering circumstances. What we didn’t realize the restaurant expanded the space with veranda. While heated the corner area was not the most comfortable space for people over 60. Huge respect to the restaurant team. After I requested to change our seating to “real” indoor area they were fast to find us the first freed table so the rest of our dinner was perfect.
