Not recommended
This was always my go to Italian on the UWS.Went tonight and found the waitress brusque, the food plunked down on the table and the prices at least 30 percent higher than last year. I miss the way La Vela use to be.

delivery issues
If it's cold overcooked pasta you seek, this is the place to order from! If you're looking to wait a long time so your hunger and anticipation grows - just to be dissappointed by food when it finally arrives - this is the place for you. my pasta had no sauce so I called & asked for some. they said they'd send it but they actually called me during my 25 minute wait for sauce to tell me that their server claimed my pasta did, in fact, have sauce. my invitation to them to come over & see for themselves was refused. when the sauce arrived, it may as well have been ketchup. The single worst delivery experience ever, With so many good Italian restaurants in town, eating La Vela's food is just foolish.

Highly recommended
Great atmosphere and delicious food but we had an inexperienced waitress that never noticed our empty drink glasses. I finally went up to the bar myself to get them. In all fairness, she appeared to have too many tables and to have been a little inexperienced. We will go back because we both enjoyed our meals.

Great place
I came with my sister for a quiet dinner. The waiter was very charming and attentive. I had the clams with linguine. It was excellent. My sister had the Carpaccio Di Manzo with Broccoli Rabe. Delightful.Will be back soon

Wonderful!
We had an amazing, memorable meal here....grilled veggies, fresh fettuccine w/baby artichokes, prosciutto, tomatoes, and cream, and saltimbocca, with a lovely bottle of Montepulciano. Double espresso, warm apple tart with ice cream & chocolate sauce (thus covering all the necessary dessert food groups!), and grappa. A short but comprehensive wine list, especially if you know what you like--wonderful, fresh ingredients, beautifully cooked and plated. We really can't wait to return!

You will never fail...EVER
I have been coming to La Vela for a long time..no- a LONG, long time (5 yrs). Here is the kick....as time goes by you get the amazing food (as always) but the service and portion size increases...regardless of the economy...they deliver EVERY time. No small feat. Great food, great wine and family friendly. Will not go anywhere else ever.
