La Mensa - Norwood

Great menu selection. Our server was great. She was very knowledgeable with food and drinks. We weren’t rushed and good was hot and very good. Will come back soon.

Great dining experience last night at this recently opened restaurant. We started out with Caesar salad which was delicious. Not everyone can make a Caesar salad, as simple as it sounds, but this place definitely can. I had the Bronzino special which was exceptional and my friend had the Osso Buco over polenta and loved it as well. The service and staff was very attentive… can’t wait to return !

Came here for the first time on Thursday night with my wife. Very Good!! The Food and the service Big portions delicious food. And Jimmy was very nice and Professional. Will definitely be back. (Tribeca Oven)

I really wanted to like this place. It’s nicely decorated and the menu looks good. But the service was terrible and the food was just ok. I ordered the beet salad, but only had 5 small chunks of beets in it and the remainder was mixed greens. My Linguini a Vongole had 5 small clams on it with a bit of linguini. The white wine sauce was decent, but I really hoped for a few more clams. The worst part was the service however. It took ages to get anyone to take our order, and when Jimmy did come, he was really quite unfriendly. We felt like we were an inconvenience to him, putting in a basic order for dinner. Then the food took ages to come, and when it finally did, it sat in front of us for half an hour—the waiter was no where to be seen. No one even checked on us or asked if we wanted another drink, more water or dessert. We ended up asking someone to send a waiter with the check, because we didn’t want to wait another half an hour for dessert. It should not take almost three hours for a two course meal. It’s a shame, bc it’s cute on the inside and I really wanted to like it there.

Great food, great service, we are regulars now. It’s one of our go to restaurants.
