La Bona Pasta - Italian restaurant in Litchfield Park - 13321 W Indian School Rd, USA

I come here often with my family, the food is always amazing. If you're looking for authentic Italian food, look not further. It's small, but comfortable. The wait for the food is worth it. It's made fresh by hand and always delicious.

I ordered the Bolognese pasta that came with meatballs. The sauce was good, but the meatballs were horrible. The size of half a golf ball they were spongy and tasted like the frozen ones you purchase from the market. Bolognese sauce is “meat sauce” and other than the two spongy meatballs there was no meat sauce. We ordered a bottle of Malbec which we enjoyed and the service was friendly and efficient. Not sure if we will go back, those meatballs were a big turn off.

Authentic Italian food, the pasta was perfectly cooked and our server recommended a very good choice of wine. I wish the atmosphere is a little bit more engaging but it is very quite. Overall it’s a good experience and will come back.

They are an authentic Italian family that runs the restaurant. The food is decent and the staff was very kind. The prices are very reasonable for an Italian restaurant.

The absolute best Italian food I've ever had. Definitely one of my all-time favorite restaurants. Very authentic atmosphere, food, and service. I'd give it 10 stars 🌟 if I could. And the stuffed mushrooms are the best I've eaten!

Decent food at a not so decent price. Went here this weekend for dinner. There are not a lot of customers so I am not sure how they have survived for so long. The decor is super dated, Got Shrimp Scampi and Chicken Marsala. Both were decent enough. The dated part of these meals are the pasta served on the side(vodka?) as well as the side vegetables. It is like something out of the 70's. The soup(clam chowder) was quite good. Of course every time I have come here they have had really great soups. A highlight for sure. The shrimp scampi was good. Decent sauce and the shrimp were good quality. The chicken marsala was also good. Chicken cooked well with a good sauce. Paying 70 bucks for 2 dishes after tip seems really steep to me. If the food had better sides and a little more portion it might be worth it. Overall good food at a not so good price.

Too bad there isn't a 6-STAR rating! Fabulous atmosphere, great, no-rush service, and outstanding food! It has that "Mom & Pop" feeling, and cuisine that easily leaves the hustle & bustle of the big city way behind.

If you want to feel like you are in Italy with the fresh pasta and breads you are in the right place. Attended the wine tasting and I was a little hesitant as I don't eat seafood but I was amazed at the flavor of the seafood stuffed portobello. The lobster ravioli was rich and the pasta so fresh and cooked to a perfect texture. The wines were delicious and they kept the glasses filled. The main course was lamb which I have never had before but the Brandi sauce was rich and buttery with a heavy cream base and a hint of garlic. I didn't get a photo of the bread but it is made to order for the table a freshness you don't expect. Truly a gem in Litchfield Park. Ps for those that say it takes long...fresh food does take a awhile and the amount of care in every dish is worth waiting.
