La Piazza Brookfield

I wasn’t going to leave a review because it’s New Year’s Eve and nobody wants to be working a dinner shift but then I got to my dessert and so now I have to. Unfortunately because I wasn’t planning on reviewing, I didn’t take any pictures until I got to said desserts that made me want to leave a review. We ordered food online to be picked up. I ordered the Scallop Risotto, the Cioppino Toscano, Pappardelle ai Porcini, and the Fettuccine Amatriciana. Cioppino Toscano is supposed to be a tomato based seafood dish. Theirs is straight butter water made salty with some salty seafood broth. All the seafood in it was overcooked. Mussels shriveled up and there was an unidentifiable fish. The Scallop Risotto was overcooked and under seasoned. What should have been a risotto, was a congealed pile

We initially felt we had found a hidden gem, but this gem needs some real polishing. Last year the food was amazing. Last Saturday we went and the antipasto was a selection of deli meats including bologna drowned in oil, with only one type of cheese. Very different from our first visit. We chose to try the bar menu this time which was another mistake. My wife's pizza came 10 minutes before our meals arrived. We ordered wagyu burgers medium rare and medium well, both were very well done. The buns were black striped charred on the outside and the fries were greasy and so well done they disintegrated when putting them in ketchup. Honestly if I'm going to drop $200 with tip for 3 people, I have way higher expectations. (Last years pictures normal, this year portrait which gives a red tint u

We dined in for the first time after enjoying many fantastic take-out pizzas, and the Pepperoni Wheels are a family favorite! The fried calamari was the best we have ever had, and our entrees were made to perfection. We look forward to coming back with family and friends.

This is a little known gem in Brookfield. They opened recently as an expansion of the pizza parlor next door. My daughter and I dined here during Mother’s Day weekend. The food was AMAZING! We had the Fettuccine Amatriciana and the Paccheri Buttera both were a fork full of, “ is this the best Italian food I ever had??” Pancetta in the fettuccine dish and green peas in the large rigatoni with vodka sauce were both had very deep and rich flavors. The drinks were as beautiful as they were delicious’! I’ve since held a promternative for high school students and they closed out the whole dining room and made mocktails! The staff were friendly and helpful. The students had an AMAZING time! Loved the food, the service and atmosphere.

While we haven’t dined in, we order takeout from here about once a month. The location is close to our house, making it a great option for an easy pickup. My husband loves their crust, and their Caesar salad is one of my favorites.
