Laska's should remove any reference to Italian food or cooking that appears on the menu. Their food resembles nothing I have ever seen or eaten on my several visits to Italy. American-Italian food?....a stretch at best. This is out dated cooking from the American-Italian cuisine of the 1950's and 1960's.

I always seem to order the baked scrod and it's never a letdown. However, the portions of everything are absolutely huge. The lasagna is practically an entire pan! I usually end up throwing most of the food away. It's a shame because their desserts are delicious! The coconut cream pie is an absolute must! I can always count on Lasca's... More

We have dined at Lasca's many times, and this last visit was very disappointing. The service was good, but if the best part of the meal is the bread and tomato oil, there is a problem. My husband ended up having two additional meals from his meal, but said the food was ordinary, and the lasagne was dried out. Advice... More

I don't know if there have been any changes since I was last there, so this review is not timely. The setting is congenial, the dishes are Italian, and the parking is sufficient.

I went here to eat after hearing many people Raving about how good this place was. I was told it was an upscale Italian restaurant. I decided to wear a clean pair of jeans and a nice button down shirt (I ended up feeling over dressed). As long as your not wearing sweatpants you're good. The food was very blah... More

Lascas has gotten lazy. The food used to be handcrafted and wonderful now it is frozen and lackluster. Foods gets recycled from one day to another unsuccessfully with wilted lettuce and odd tasing ingredients. I will admit to being a foodie, but poorly crafted food is poorly crafted food no matter how much of it you pile on the plate.... More

Stopped in the bar for takeout. Ordered 3 drinks between us. Then ordered a chickenparm sand and a tenderloin sand to go. Parm sand was dry tenderloin sand was so small with 3 pieces of meat. I could tell the chicken had that frozen taste not fresh. $46.00 total waste. Use to be a great place that's fair now. Decor... More

Beware of frozen dinner quality. I bought a frozen turkey dinner at the take out section only to find frozen processed turkey shaped in a loaf. The turkey was not good and very salty. Lasca's should label their frozen dinners as processed if that is the case. I thought their frozen dinners were food from their menu. It is somewhat... More

The only reason they are getting an average is because the food is so good, otherwise they would be barely getting one mark. We went to pick up food for a get together. There was one person ahead of us and we waited for almost 20 minutes. The associate working the take out area was obviously overwhelmed and busy trying... More

Definitely will not leave this restaurant hungry. It is always filled to capacity and there is no way that you can eat all of your meal! Good thing they give boxes--excellent Italian!
