Lala

Sat at the bar with my buddy last night and had such a great experience. Nathalie and Eli were incredible bartenders and the vibes in the restaurant were great. My buddy got a cocktail and I had a mocktail. Both were superb. Thanks Nathalie and Eli for such a great night, will def try and make it back before my vacation is over

**Rating strictly off food**I LOVE Lala for their drinks but, unfortunately the food is very mediocre. I was just expecting the same level of wow you receive from Barbusa considering they are sisters and that was not the case. The spicy Caesar was good, lacked spice. The chargrilled oysters simply miss the mark from me, I will say the steak was really tasty. It came out on a bed of onions and mushrooms which I love. The pasta dish was okay, nothing spectacular. The service itself was fine, we were the only one seated in the restaurant for quite some time. And the ambience is still cuter than ever.I will be returning to Lala strictly for Drinks with the girls, while they do have a pretty extensive food menu I would prefer to keep my extra coins and allocate them to drinks.

the food here is pretty mid if you ask me. feels a little too see-and-be-seen kind of place and not so focused on the actual food quality. tried the spicy Caesar (total lack of flavor and not even spicy), calamari (this was okay), scallops Rockefeller (WILDLY overcooked and over salted), and the stuffed shells (also pretty forgettable).however, the LaLa's martini is freaking killer. I'd order five of those if they wouldn't kill me. love them.

Pros:Very sweet service(i loved our waitress) Beautiful ambianceCandy cigarette as a to go gift Cons: Antipasto tower didn't have enough bread, only 3 small slices. It honestly ruined the experience of the tower to not have enough bread to match all the different tastes going on. The gnocchi was just okay.Overall: i definitely think this place is more of a cocktail bar than a food restaurant, but it's a very great cocktail bar! I'd return for a drink, but not for the food.

Lala was soooooooo good! The drinks were bomb and the food looked amazing! We sat at the bar and the bar staff was awesome! The ambiance is fancy, but relaxed. 10/10

This is a fairly new spot in Little Italy. Went last night for dinner. The decor is really cute. The menu is very small and leaves a lot to be desired. None of the entrees come with sides and they dont offer any. How do you serve a steak with a garlic bulb as a side?? No potatoes, no veggies.Now the food we had was very flavorful. However, this place is grossly overpriced. And on another note, they allowed a girl to come inside and sit at the bar with a big dog on a leash. The dog was jumping up trying to get on bar stools and jumping up on the kitchen door. Several workers also pet the dog and then proceeded to go back into the kitchen! This is beyond unacceptable for a restaurant. I wont return here and don't recommend. I'm

Walking up to LALA's you don't really know what to expect because its in the back of the parking lot, and you can't see in side the building, yet it still looks very intriguing.Once inside, we ordered a few cocktails and throughly enjoyed them.The ambience and decor is really nice inside.Also, I thought it was cute at the bar they have little ice breaker books to keep you entertained at the bar or on a date :)S

This is a cute spot in little Italy. I expected more ambiance wise in terms of decor, although it was still well put together. The drinks were good, but nothing new. The steak tartare was the best thing that we ordered, but the chicharrones did take away from it. The loaded gnocchi was very underwhelming and had close to no flavor. The stuffed shells had a good marinara sauce, but the stuffing had very little flavor. The service was the best part about our visit. I really appreciated how attentive they were to us and how they offered new plates when a new dish came out. They also offered to box our food which I always appreciate from a restaurant. The parking can be tricky since it is primarily street parking in little Italy. Keep an eye out for the place since it's tucked away a bit from the street.

Cute little cozy bar with small plates. It's located in little Italy and we came here on a Thursday night. It was crowded but there is valet parking in the front of the restaurant until 10p for $15. Completely worth it and would recommend if you're going.The drinks were okay. The only one we really enjoyed and would order again was the stiletto which was like a creamy lemon drop. Food was decent. Beef tartare was good but for the some reason the chicharron left a weird coating in my mouth that I've never had before with chicharron. Almost spoiled the taste of the tartare for me. The calamari was amazing. Portion was good for 4 people and it had a sweet Thai chili vibe going on which made it stand out. Honestly I wouldn't come back here but glad I tried it. Food is expensive especially for being in little Italy. You can get the same food at a nicer restaurant or even a less nice restaurant for a better price. Considering that and I only enjoyed one of my drinks it's not something I'd recommend going to

The food was so good. We had the burrata amd tomato salad and it didn't disappoint. The tomatoes were so sweet and the balsamic took it to another level. The marinara on the stuffed shells amazing and the steak was cooked to perfection. Overall a great experience. Will definitely go back.
