I was not happy with my meal here. Â And I also sat by the window and was cold. I ordered peppercorn steak. Â Steak came out blue and sauce had a lot of pepper but no flavor wine or garlic. Â They did bring me a another steak cooked to perfection but the sauce was really bad. Â My husband was happy with the meal. Â Ididn't think his dish was that great either but he's not that picky. Â Dinner came to over a hundred with wine.
I was so pissed at the amount of money we spent that I wound up cooking for the rest of the week. Â Don't understand why you can't get a good tasting dish for $30 Â dollars come on now.
La Catena is about the best bargain in Gormet italian food you will find anywhere. The food is worthy of your finest guests and won't break the bank if you decide to treat the table. The menu is familiar to most that dine italian, try the tortellini belvidere, a bit heavy but very original! The treasures here are in the chef specials they never get over used and won't disappoint! If nothing appeals to you menu or special wise; you can always go off menu and describe what you want, they'll make it for you. Â The bar is small but well stocked with generous pours. The staff are all friendly prompt and professional. This is truly a good find for a regular night out!
Review Source:Fine Italian dining at it's frikkin best people!!! Â And I can walk there?? Â And still stay pretty on my way??? WHATTTTT?!?!!?! Â Too excited to write this review. Â So mad I don't have any pictures to post but I will very soon.
La'Catena is a place you definitely come for date night. Â Or for a nice company hoorah!! Â Or even an engagement party or something. Â The food is phenomenal. Â Not kidding. Â I have no familial ties to these people or anything. Â But I love them. Â I love Veal so much and they make it so many different ways. Â But, BUT the Lemon Veal (one of the specialties) is to DIE FOR! Â I can't even...But wait, before we get to the veal let me tell you what to do when you go... You get a little antipasto or the raw bar sampler thing. Â Get a Catena Salad or the minestrone. Â Then, only then should you get the Veal. Â If you prefer a pasta dish to a meat dish than get the Bella Vista pasta. Â I'm sorry I can't remember the exact names of these wonderful dishes. Â But I am sure what I am writing is accurate. Â I have never eaten the seafood here. Â There is another amazing restaurant I go to in the area that I get my seafood on at. Â Look for that review as well and go eat there too!
Located on Westfield Ave I have only walked here. Â So I can't tell you about the parking. Â The prices are typical for a nice Italian restaurant.
