La Stalla - Menu

Fabulous, great value food. La Stalla is a little gem hidden away in Footscray. The restaurant has been there since 1978/79 and this little family run restaurant is brilliant. Will be back soon.

This restaurant is quiet and offers very affordable prices. The delicious food is well-prepared and the service is good. Unfortunately, they didn't have our wine choice but the suggested replacement was cheaper and of great quality. The interior may be a bit worn out, but if you enjoy retro style, this is the perfect place for you.

Every month, a group of friends gather together to catch up. This time, we decided to have dinner at this restaurant. The service was incredibly attentive, personalized, and friendly. The menu had a wide selection, and the food we ordered was outstanding. We wished there were a few more potatoes, but even the ones we had were excellent. The staff was willing to accommodate any request and we highly recommend this place to anyone. View menu

I live locally and like to support local businesses but only if they're good! La Stalla is a wonderfully friendly and welcoming place. The staff, mother and daughter, are always up for a laugh and will always suggest any changes to any meal you might like. Mario the chef and owner never disappoints. I usually have one of the fish specials and find them to be fresh and delicious. Can't find enough to say to recommend this place. Wonderful!

We haven't been in here for a long time but I always remembered it being excellent. Last Saturday four of us booked in for 8pm. Nothings changed, it doesn't look special from outside and is a bit dated inside. We were shown to a decent round table and there was a good atmosphere. The food and service were spot on. We ordered mainly fish, a mixture of huge king prawns, dover soles and skate, all of it was fantastic. It's family run and we were well looked after. Well deserved 5 stars. We'll be back soon no doubt.

What a real oasis of excellent food. Re visited this lovely little Italian restaurant after a number of years with my brother and wife. Loved it. Music was a real trip down memory lane but food was as good as ever. Try the stroganoff, was one of the best I have had. Mario is a genius in the kitchen. I know it's off the usual high street but worth going. Prices were surprisingly good given the quality of food and drink. I have spent double and got nowhere near the same quality of food and service. Will be back again soon. View menu

Once again an excellent evening meal with friendly service and really good choice both on standard menu and offered specials. We both had fresh crab cocktail to start which was light and perfectly presented. The pasta choice was cooked just right I had spaghetti carbonara my favourite and my partner had veal escalope with spaghetti bolognese. Followed by really good creme caramel and almond tart with cream. Also to note the wine is a good selection and reasonably priced not always the case these days. Another advantage is that there is free parking at the back of the restaurant. If you like good Italian food I would highly recommend a visit to La Stalla.

What a relief! Mario was a little late reopening after the terrible lockdown, but it was well worth the wait. We had been eagerly anticipating the reopening as we passed by the closed door, disappointed to see the sign still up after the lockdown had ended. However, Sandra called us a couple of weeks ago to notify us that they were back in business, so we promptly booked a table. It was a lovely evening, with two delicious meals expertly prepared by Mario and served with charm by Sandra. Thankfully, Mario had not lost his touch during the forced closure! Hurry back to La Stalla and indulge in all the money you saved while they were closed. It's a no-brainer!

My partner and I fancied some real Italian food so visited La Stalla last Saturday evening. The food as always was exceptional my partner had scallops wrapped in bacon with a beautiful sauce and I had calamari which was a large portion really fresh and with a piquant home made tartare sauce. For main course I had spaghetti carbonara which was excellent as only home made sauce can be, creamy but not sickly or too heavy and my partner had the specials menu seafood pasta which was gorgeous with an added extra serving of assorted king prawns squid and clams in a spicy tomato based sauce. For desert I had the oranges in Cointreau which were a juicy delight. So nice to see a menu of true Italian d... View menu
