La Vela earns a spectacular 4 Stars on Yelp from 190+ reviews:
"One of the best places to get a dinner in NYC especially. It is a small charming Italian restaurant with some of the best fire oven pizza in the city. We ordered Margarita Pizza, Spaghetti Bolognese. Highly recommend the Branzino dish if you are a seafood lover. Dishes were refreshing with the right balance of flavor. The pasta was cooked to al dente. Just perfect. The traditional Italian meat balls were juicy and the meat was flavorful. True Italian character comes to life."
"Best in everything I wanted with their mostly standard fair Italian dishes. Texture and flavor of bucatini, pizza and pizza bread, the perfectly shaved parmesan on Caesars Salad, and on Prosciutto de Parma pizza, the right balance of saltiness, crispy and juicy pancetta pieces in tomato sauce. Going back again ASAP."
"We shared spaghetti with baby clams for a starter, my husband had the special halibut for entree, I had the Branzino (both were nicely garnished). We were both very happy with our choices and plan on revisiting..."
"This place is amazing... food is fresh and amazing! The pasta is homemade, the pizza dough also homemade, the staff is super friendly, and the atmosphere welcoming... Highly recommend."
