    Our dinner last night was so lovely. We're parents of a toddler so we don't get out much. We had a babysitter and decided to use a gift card for one of our past favorite restaurants. Everything was absolutely delicious. We started with the rosemary sourdough bread with butter, escarole and Frisee salad, and Polpette meatballs. The bread has a great flavor and good texture. Every aspect of the salad was incredible - the dressing, the grapefruit, the honey Aleppo almonds. And the Polpette were some of the best meatballs I've tried. We really enjoyed the chicken milanesa and the black pepper Pappardelle dish had amazing texture (all their pastas are made in-house) but I feel could have had a more interesting flavor. I had really wanted to try the Tiramisu, one of my favorite desserts, but we were so stuffed. All the wine and cocktails were tasty. We sat on the patio since we wanted to order off the A la carte menu but it was so quiet and dead outside. Some music or something piped outside might have been nice. We used to frequent L'Oca d'Oro before the pandemic and before having kids, but we hadn't been back since Fall 2019. I was happy to see the ways in which the restaurant pivoted during the pandemic and all that they have done to care for their employees, very admirable. Overall, we really loved our meal and we will happily be back!

    We were celebrating my husbands birthday and after we told the server we didn’t save room for dessert, he surprised us with after dinner drinks. So thoughtful and an excellent dining experience!

    The food was very good but extremely expensive for what you get. I got the swordfish which is the most expensive single item on the menu ($28) and it was easily 2 bite worth of fish with some beans that were bland. This place should be considered tapas portions but is not listed on the menu. Looks like a hipster upstart trying to be fine dining but the quality isnt there. Some of our party received their food cold. However, the Parpadelli was very good.
    L'Oca d'OroResponded on December 3, 2024
    Val, We appreciate you coming in and letting us know about your experience. I know that we were able to replace the dishes that came out cold but, of course, that shouldn't happen in the first place. We are always changing the menu so prices and portion size change regularly and this feedback is useful and appreciated. Perhaps you'd try again during Happy Hour when our pastas and spritzed are 1/2 off everyday. Be well, Adam Orman, Co-Owner

    The wait person was very nice. However, the food was minuscule portions for too much money. I would never go back. Very expensive dinner for not very much food.
    L'Oca d'OroResponded on December 3, 2024
    Lisa, Thanks for this comment. If you'd like to let me know a little more about your dinner, I'd like to know why we weren't able to make your experience better. You mention that the server was very nice but it should really be our job to find out when you're not happy about any part of your meal and figure out what you'd prefer. We are always changing the menu so prices and portion size change regularly and this feedback is useful and appreciated. Perhaps you'd try again during Happy Hour when our pastas and spritzed are 1/2 off everyday. Be well, Adam Orman, Co-Owner

    Had a reservation early - at 7pm but wanted menu item was already out (duck ragu). Ordered meatballs to come before main dish but came after. Hadn’t been in a long time and while food is wonderful, overall a little disappointed.
    L'Oca d'OroResponded on December 3, 2024
    Reena, Thanks for coming back in and letting us know about your experience. Unfortunately, sometimes a busy Happy Hour with 1/2 price pasta can run through a popular dish like the Ragu. We should also have communicated that dishes tend to come out as ready unless there's a preference otherwise. I'm sorry if that didn't happen and would love to get you back in again sooner to make sure you don't stay disappointed. Maybe for that Happy Hour or for our upcoming Feast of the Seven Fishes. Be well, Adam Orman, Co-Owner

    We celebrared our anniversary here. The food and service was incredible! The cocktails are amazing and there wasn’t a single thing that we ordered that we didn’t love. The portions were the perfect size to allow you to try multiple things and everything tasted so fresh and elevated. Will definitely be coming back!
    L'Oca d'OroResponded on November 25, 2024
    Carsyn, This is a great review. Thanks so much for celebrating with us. I'm so glad we made it special for you. We look forward to having you in again soon to see what's new on the menu. Be well, Adam Orman, Co-Owner
