WORST restuarant I've ever been to!!!!

by chamooda at Citysearch

we came here for my friend's birthday and from the beginning until the end they treated us like we didn't exist. They completely ignored our requests, service was horrible, we had to ask 5 times for someone to take our order and the place was empty! the food was ok, but the portions were way over priced for the tiny (seriously the size of my palm) portions they gave us. Even after we asked how large the ravioli would be, they said its pretty big and they brought us literally 8 super thin pieces of ravioli. In addition, we asked before hand if there was a cake-cutting fee and they said "no" and then they charged us $40 for the cake cutting when we didn't even ask them to cut it and they didn't even warn us about it. When we confronted them about this they threatened to "keep our cars hostage" at the vallay if we didn't pay and then the manager started yelling at us and pointing his finger at us in front of the whole restaurant because we brought a cake (even though they said it was okay before!). This is seriously the WORST place I've ever been, I would have rather had dinner at 7-11 or McDonalds than this crappy place! The sad part is, I'm not even exaggerating. This was seriously that bad.

• Pros: No pros
• Cons: Everything sucked! especially the service and the managers

THE OWNER OF THIS PLACE IS VILE, UNPROFFESSIONAL, AND RUINED OUR DINNER

by Galbruin at Citysearch

I go to La Loggia and Next Door )the bar next door) quite frequently. I have always enjoyd it. This week, however, a friend of mine were dining at Nexy Door, when a waiter approached us and asked if he could take the table at which we were eating to give to someone else. We were enranged not only beause tha has sat us at that booth, but because we were still eating. We said no. About a half jour later, a grasy man with long hair approached us again about the table. We told him we were still ating off it, and needed it. He took it away anyway, Leaving e and my friend to eat off this time little cube of a table. When I told the alleged owner that I was insulted and we were enjoying our meal, but he did not care, he said that I could leave the restaurant or just deal with it. I have been there before with friends (with big money) and watched this same man kiss their as**es. So unless you have a lot of money and can get the ownr to bow down to you, I suggest you stay away from this place. Unless, of course, you don't mind abbrasive staff and eating with no table.

• Pros: The tapas
• Cons: The Manager

WORST MANAGER EVER!!!

by gigi1003 at Citysearch

I absolutely love this place but refuse to return due to the unprofessional manager. I never take the time to write reviews on restaurants but after my experience with this person felt it was important to inform consumers and address his behavior. I was there with coworkers last wed night and when the check arrived we placed 2 credit cards down to split the bill. The very DUMB waitress only charged my card. After informing her of this she stated no problem she would VOID the original charge and then split the cost. Well the next day I saw that I was charged TWICE, Once for the entire Bill and then again for the splitting of the bill. I left several messages with no response and then when I finally got a hold of the manager he was extremely defensive, pretty much told me that it was not their mistake and that I would need to check with my bank, and what did I expect him to do. When I stated what do you mean what do I expect you to do you are the manager of that incompetent employer he stated I could show up to his restaurant with my lawyer or whomever and I ended up hanging up on him because he was being so inconsiderate. Any place that treats their customers in that manner does not deserve to be dined at with all the amazing places to eat in LA. DONT WASTE YOUR TIME AT THIS PLACE, go to Firefly instead right down the street!

We're becoming regulars.....it's that good!

by cryie at Citysearch

Great atmosphere, romantic. The food is always so wonderful. Every time, we try something new and are always pleased. The waiters are very friendly. One of them continually offers reasonable wine selections that won't break the bank! We eat out regularly and this is one of our favorites!!!

Been going for years...

by jarroddiaz at Citysearch

I was introduced to La Loggia by my aunt and uncle years ago. Ever since, my girlfriend and I have been going. She loves this place. The atmosphere is wonderful; dim lighting, romantic, elegant, and casual at the same time. The servers are very polite and knowledgeable about there food. I'm looking forward to Valentine's Day. I always recommend this restaurant to friends. Oh yeah... and after dinner, ask for Otto's special - a nice after dinner drink of orange liquor and brandy.

• Pros: The banana napoli dessert... and the atmosphere.
• Cons: None yet...

Wonderful taste of Italy

by the5ofus at Citysearch

Enjoyed the experience from the time we arrived until the time we left. Food was tasty! Ordered my favorite dish the angel hair pasta... perfect sauce, not too sweet and not too tangy. Will go there again and will bring friends. Thank You!

• Pros: Enjoyed the food
• Cons: Parking could be a little bit more organized.

Ambience is very romantic, food was good

by me4you at Citysearch

I had my birthday party here recently and although I made my reservation for the "patio" I ended up inside. However, the manager apologized and my guests and I let it go. I ordered the squash ravioli and it was really delicious but was a small portion size. Wish there was more to it, I think I literally got four raviolis. The wine was delicious, the server helped my pick it out. The tables were a little too close to eachother which not only made it difficult to get to the restroom, since we were in the back corner, but our neighbors could hear our entire conversation and since we were a group of 20 something girls and they were clearly unhappy and snobs, there were issues. Aside from that, half of my friends loved their food, a couple felt the chicken was a bit too dry etc.

Overall, I had a satisfactory time but would only recommend this spot for quiet romantic meals for two.

• Pros: Beautiful and romantic
• Cons: The inside is too cramped, only ask to be seated on the patio.

Good

by redle9 at Citysearch

Absolutely loved the fact they "snowed" the outside of the building in the spirit of the holiday season. We had prompt service. The atmosphere is quaint.. I had I bite of my friends filet mignon and it was perfect! I would recommend that and their banana napoleon dessert- yum.

Unimaginably bad!

by miscon at Citysearch

Mediocre food (pasta was al dente OK ... but shoudn't it be?) ... worst service ever! Indifferent waiter forgot appetizer ... took forever to bring check ... Maria's which is pedestrian at best ... is better. DO NOT EVER EAT AT LA(ME) LOGGIA!
