About
La Pergola is a beautiful, aesthetic spot that often fails to deliver on the basics. While some diners rave about the lasagna and cozy atmosphere, many others report long wait times, raw or cold food, and rude service. It seems like a place that looks great on social media but struggles with operational consistency and hygiene standards.
