    We were not happy with our initial table but the manager graciously moved us to another table. Our server Gustavo was terrific. We ordered agnolotti and pollo al mattone and both were delicious.

    The atmosphere of this place is lovely. They really spent the money and some thought on the decor, lighting, etc. My only design concern is that when you dine here at night, the combination of the low lighting and the tiny, dark grey font on a beige background menu makes reading the menu difficult. The food is all top notch, and though the prices are a bit high, they are not that different than all the other fine dining establishments throughout the city. Our service was iffy. There were long lags between people checking in on us and we wanted an additional drink and to add to an order during those lags. And this was not just due to the fact that they were busy. Our waiter was chatting with a co-worker for much of the time we were hoping someone might ask us if we wanted dessert. We eventually flagged someone down, but it's preferable that we don't have to do so. I've been here other times when the service was fine, so this may be a one-time thing.

    We went to La Conessa for our anniversary and they treated us great! Would highly recommend. From food to overall vibe and price, La Conessa is a must. We will be going back soon! Thank you to the team for the special night

    Service was very disappointing. Our reservation was at 7:15 and we were promptly seated. Then it took 20 min to be greeted by a waiter and 30 minutes to get water. We were at our table for 45 minutes before we ordered and served wine (a sommelier was supposed to come over but was no where to be found so our waiter helped). Dishes were slow to come out with our last course arriving at 9:05p. Food was decent, bolognese was the best dish. I asked to speak with a manager and no one showed. Truly disappointing experience.
    La ConnessaResponded on December 20, 2024
    Hello Kaycie, I am so sorry that your experience with us last night was disappointing. The issues that you experienced are totally unacceptable. We truly appreciate you taking the time to let us know. We take reviews very seriously and we appreciate the feedback. I would love to speak to you and address these issues as well as do anything in my power to bring you back to La Connessa and rectify this negative experience. At the Bacchus Restaurant Group we pride ourselves in turning negative's into positives and if given the opportunity I would love to turn this around. Respectfully, Andrew Fuentes General Manager

    The resturant has great ambience and vibes. Staff was friendly and timely. I wish there was an available table seating though I made reservations only bar top was available. The food was nicely portioned and delicious.
    La ConnessaResponded on December 20, 2024
    Hell Nancy, Thank you so much for the wonderful 5-Star review. I am sorry that we were not able to seat you at a table, but I am happy that you got a chance to experience our wonderful bar! Thank you for the compliments about the staff and cuisine. We hope to see you again soon. We are open on Xmas Eve and NY's Eve as well. We are offering a special Prix-Fixe menu on each night. Hope to see you again soon. Warmest Regards, Andrew Fuentes General Manager
