The staff here made our anniversary very special and worth dining out. The atmosphere is unmatched anywhere else in town. Very quaint and romantic. The food is also absolutely delicious and will not disappoint. We look forward to coming back for another romantic evening soon.

Excellent meal. Would definitely go there again. May have to make another 3 hour ride to get there again. Staff was pleasant as well. We ordered the Chicken Francese and Tiramisu for dessert. Husband also got the pomegranate martini and loved them.

We had a wonderful meal! eggplant parmigiana, freshly baked bread, wood-fired pizza and tiamesu. We took half home for another yummy meal!

Went last night for Valentines Day dinner, and absolutely loved it! The place was jammed, as to be expected, but the service was still great, fast, attentive, and very friendly, you could see everyone pitching in and working hard. The food was absolutely delicious with huge portions, and a large menu with many options. Also a nice selection of specialty drinks for the occasion, and an absolutely beautiful setting. Highly recommended for any occasion, or none at all, I can’t wait to go back again!

We have been longtime patrons, starting in the early 1980's when it was the Gregory House, then when it became a wonderful Italian restaurant until it recently closed. It has now re-opened with a new owner, Arts, Letters and Numbers, an arts residency in Averill Park. It is still a great high-end Italian menu plus woodfired pizza. We went on their first night under ALN ownership, sitting I'm one of the dining rooms. (There is also a tavern room.) My wife and I splurged. We shared an order of Maccheroni al Ferretto (which happens to be the most expensive item on the menu) and a small pizza. The Maccheroni was outstanding. The pizza was excellent as well, The two items together were more than we could finish. We're really happy to know this place will be open and that the food is as good as it's ever been. Our servers were great, but they were a little understaffed, which we learned was because it was a soft opening on short notice.

The food was really good. Love their bread. Definitely will be back.

I wasn’t sure what to expect when I walked into La Perla, but I was pleasantly surprised. The atmosphere is warm and inviting with twinkling holiday lights and a rustic wood burning oven. And the staff is generous and accommodating. It felt like walking into a high end mountain lodge with an added sensory layer of the most amazing culinary aromas. Chef Nando is truly an artisan melding tastes and ingredients from the Northern Italian regions of his mother’s family and those of his father’s Sicilian heritage. During my stay at the accompanying Inn, The Gregory House, I tried many delicacies from rolled eggplant (the best comfort food) to Pappardelle Alla Romana, a delicious combination of peas, cream, prosciutto and mushrooms. Hands down my favorite was the wood fired pizza, especially the one I chose with arugula, tomatoes and shaved parmesan. I give this masterpiece five finger kisses with an added "Che buono!" Keep in mind the pizza dough and bread are made fresh. I can go on about the perfection of the bread, so I will. Imagine the golden-brown crust, crisp and crackling, slightly rustic with natural flour-dusted patterns, the warm scent of toasted wheat and a faint, nutty sweetness, a balance of earthy simplicity and rich complexity (ask Nando about the “process”). It’s the kind of bread that elevates any meal, an experience of tradition, craftsmanship, and love. I highly recommend breaking bread at La Perla.

Fantastic food! A Chef is exquisite & a genius! Specials are thoughtful and creative. Menu is varied with great choices. Staff is kind and personable. High recommend!
