Best Historic Restaurants in Willow Grove

We had a wonderful experience. We were seated as soon as we arrived. The hostess was very friendly and wished my husband a happy birthday. Our server, Justin greeted us shortly after we were seated and took our drink order. The drinks arrived quickly and were perfect. The food we ordered was delicious and arrived hot and in a short amount of time. Our server was very attentive and checked on us multiple times throughout the evening. We never felt rushed.

As far as Christmas decor, just beautiful. The food was good but I am partial to my food being hot. Some of the chafing dishes were lukewarm. The pastry chef outdid her/him self! Our party was 4 adults and we all enjoyed the hot chocolate bar. We were all satisfied.

We returned to LaStrada a second time because of the deliciously prepared food. As I mentioned in a previous post, it would have been nice if they had heated up the Italian bread when they brought it to the table instead of room temperature bread. Also I did not like the fact that the servers are all constantly trying to clear diners’ plates before everyone has finished their meals. I definitely felt rushed while I was eating my salad and the server wanted to take the plate from the person sitting next to me who had just finished their salad. Same thing happened while I was still eating my dinner. It’s not proper to clear the table when not everyone has finished that course. Other than that complaint, everything was excellent!

We were seated in the Fireplace Room as requested in our reservation. Waiter was very professional and knowledgeable about the menu. The food continues to be well prepared. During the winter you do need to dress warmly.

Two of us ordered the bow tie pasta with shrimp & crab with Volkswagen like sauce but the problem was there wasn’t any crab in either entree. Very disappointing. The calamari was excellent. if you’re going to advertise that this dish has crab then please put it in.
