La Finestra Ristorante

My family and I had a delicious dinner here! We all ate our entire entrees. My only critiques would be improving the calamari appetizer and the grilled artichoke appetizer. The calamari didn’t seem fresh, was a very pale (not crispy) color, and was a bit chewy. I did like the heat it had though. The grilled artichoke didn’t taste grilled and was very acidic in flavor. Other than that, we really enjoyed our food. We all were sharing bites! It was also great to have the ocean view. Our server, Katie was excellent!!! Thank you for a wonderful dinner out.

I have very mixed feelings about writing this review. I like to accentuate positives but I must also be honest. So here it is. We were a party of 8 out for a family dinner. We arrived at 4:30 and were promptly seated. At that time it was not crowded at all. I was surprised how long it took to take our orders and be served. I ordered the octopus as an appetizer which was very good. My wife and I both ordered the surf & turf. She was disappointed with the lobster which was overcooked and flavorless as was mine. Her meat, ordered medium was also overcooked. My meat was okay. Others were satisfied with their meals, but no one raved. As we were finally finishing desert we were asked to leave because they had people waiting for a table. (If the service was more prompt we would have been done soo

I added shrimp to my rigatoni and was charged $15 for just three pieces. They also wanted an extra $3 to add peas. In the end, two very basic meals cost over $100. The food tastes good, but it’s nowhere near worth the inflated prices.

We live in North Jersey but we were down the Shore last weekend. We discovered a fine Italian ristorante at the Sea Isle City, called La Finestra. The food was delicious, the bronzino filet, the filet mignon and the chicken piccata had a delicious taste which we loved it. The Angel Hair pasta with olive oil and garlic made the difference while we were enjoying our food. The deserts were nice but I would mention the warm Brownie Sundae with ice cream on top and il tartufo ice cream. We eat a lot but we loved it very much! The Octapus is a MUST to try! Believe me, you will re-order after finishing the first Octapus... Oh, I almost forgot about the grilled shrimps - to die for! The service was On Top! The waitres was regulay checking on us while he was clean and tide, smily and friendly! The

It was our first time to have dinner in La Finestra,we were curious about the place, and loves Italian cuisine. We like the place that we can see the outside (ocean views) but later it gets loud, you need to speak louder. I like the food on special. But i recommend to get the Caprese salad, was so good and fried mozzarella cheese. Thank you and stay safe everyone. Open all year.
