Lavera Cuisine

This place is under new owership and the place is great. Juliano is using all fresh ingredients and some of the special dishes he makes are outstanding. The Bella Pasta is one of the best on the menu. If you haven't tried the meatball sub, that is a must. The pizzas are made in an oven that makes the crust perfect. Nothing commercial about this place.. all dishes are fresh. He also has the best bread sticks. New wait staff too are very efficent and friendly. We eat here about once a week. Pros: the great food Cons: decor needs a little work more

A friend and I went in to eat on a Thursday night. It was my second time, a second chance, because the first time had been poor. The first thing you would see is that the decor was disturbing. Pictures of actors with black eyes painted on the walls were surely misplaced. The booths with a print of cattle ranches on them - surely this belonged somewhere out west? There was music playing, a single guitar player. He played a cliche' Italian song accoustically, but still too loudly for the otherwise silent dining area. Two other tables were seated in the ""main"" dining area; a group of four and of two. The second table (of two) were not guests, but waitreses, practicing flash cards and talking loudly to a waitress emerging from the kitchen. A pattern: Each time someone emerged from the kitchen (which was very loud - not of pots and pans but of raised voices) a waitress would yell something to the other person through the silent dining room. We learned, among other things that need not to be yelled through the dining room, that the opinion of one waitress was that someone, assuming another waitress, looked white but was actually argentinian.. Pros: The meal came out quickly and we could leave sooner. Cons: Read my review. more

This is the best place to eat in Concord. It's a little hard to find unless you know where it is as you can't see it easily off of the main road(hwy 29). The owners are super friendly and they make everything fresh. The pastas are awesome but you have to try the pizzas and strombolis, oh and the calzones too. They also make a specialty pizza from Argentina and empanadas(little meat pies) that are addicting. You just have to go and try it yourself. Pros: awesome food and prices more

i haven't tried many things on their menu because i love the alfredo and the baked ziti too much,it's deliicious! Pros: great food more

We love this place. We eat here, either in the restaurant or carry out, once a week or so. The portions are HUGE and well worth taking home! The prices are reasonable and the service is outstanding. more

Pizza had to come from a can. Taste of metal and no flavor. Pros: Given table pretty quick since there was only a ouple people there Cons: food was not original or good more
