La Stanza Cucina Italiana - Menlo Park

La Stanza is a great neighborhood find. The dishes are consistently good and often great last night I had the ravioli carbonara and it was superb. The service is really personable the staff really seems to love their work and take pride in their food and it shows. Lastly, the prices are reasonable in an era where so many restaurants are just out of control. Service: Dine in

Very kind service staff. Solid food but not worth the wait. They had some issues with their reservation system so we had a 40 minute wait despite having reservations (and only a party of 3) plus the food came out slowly.

I went to La Stanza for dinner with a friend, and the place was packed. They have both indoor and outdoor seating. My friend and I ordered ravioli carbonara. It was super creamy, light, and flavorful. It was a decent serving size, but it was so good that it left me craving for more. They also provide you with complimentary bread. The bread and the dipping sauce (not sure of the name; probably olive oil of some sort) were really good, too. We also got tiramisu at the end, and it was delicious. Overall, it's a great restaurant with reasonable prices, great food and great service.
