"My compliments to the chef. I love to cook and know the work and talent that goes into these beautifully, plated dishes. My favorite is the veal chop. Yum! This chef loves his job."

"Everything about our dining experience at L'Andana was good except for the waiting. Our meal should have taken about an hour; it ended up taking about two. Since this was our first meal at L'Andana, I don't know if this is typical. If we go again, we will instruct our waitperson that we don't need quite so much time between courses. The setting, the staff, and the food were uniformly excellent."

"The steak was outstanding. Waitress was very knowledgeable and attentive. I recommend getting the sirloin with the Gorgonzola and mushroom preparation."

"Had a hard time picking an appetizer and entree. Not impressed with the offerings. People were seated close by which was distracting. Bread, potatoe, and mousse were great. Have had much better sirloin and broccollli rabe was bitter. Attentive service."

"We have dined at L'Andana several times and will keep returning because of the consistently great food, service and atmosphere. It is quite simply, our favorite restaurant!"

"Over-priced and not that good. $10.50 for a drink and $26 for pasta that wasnt that great. Would be a decent restaurant at half the price, but wouldnt recommend or go back."

"Wife's birthday, group of four, fine food and excellent time. Cauliflower soup very nice, perhaps a bit pricey at $13. Cornish hen excellent, as was skirt steak. Calamari a good start, with some serious peppers in it. Waitress knowledgable about wine list. Great sorbets for dessert."

"I've been here before but not in the last year. Took my significant other for his birthday. I was disappointed they no longer are serving the veal meatballs because they were unique served in a Marsala based sauce. Our food was excellent and our waiter was very good too."

"Very nice service, very good food - it was a nice place to eat on our out of town trip. The lace had too many little kids when we got there but quieted down eventually."

"Took my wife for our anniversary. We were both so happy with everything - from the drinks, to the service, to the Caesar salad, to the perfectly cooked wood grilled steak and sides. And save some room for the molten chocolate cake. Amazing. This restaurant is a great find outside of Boston. Great night out. We can't wait to come back."

"Hi, I've had the pleasure of eating here on most business trips to the Boston area. The food and customer service are always top notch. Love this restaurant .
If your looking for a great high -end restaurant with causal environment and atmosphere this place is it. The service starts with the valet then with the great hosts and your waiters, I have always had the best experience at L Andana."

"Very good food, but not near the creative level of other J. Mamanno establishments such as Mistral. Very nice Tuscan-inspired interior design, comfortable seats and table spacing, good service. Menu items are somewhat "normal" or standard, well executed but not inspired like downtown cutting edge foodie establishments. And L'Andana was more expensive than some of the Zagat 28 food-rated establishments. Won't go back."

"I had dinner with a friend staying at the Burlington Marriott, and I decided on L'Andana, based on location and reviews. The food was good, but not exceptional enough to justify the prices charged. The wine was very good, and L'Andana has a very good list. The atmosphere is quiet and dimly lit, which is a plus. One thing about atmosphere which I found annoying for a "high class" restaurant is that they had cheesy music playing on the PA in the main dining room. Service was rather amateurish to the point of being amusing, considering the price point.To be fair, I did not have a steak, and this is essentially a steak house. Overall, it's good to know that there is a good expense account restaurant off 128 near the Burlington Marriott."

"Initially, took too long after being seated to get "noticed" for cocktails/beverages which is unusual at L'Andana. We struggled with the menu and realized before our server informed us that the menu had changed since our last visit. I applaud restaurants that do make menu changes,but not impressed with several of the new items. I don't need L'Andana to offer several steak cuts/sides. I can go to Capital Grillefor this. I dine at L'Andana for the creative choices it offers. Cornish Hen/Swordfish not 2 of them. Lamb Bolognese should be better described with pork/veal also. I miss the Chicken with Arugula and Tomatoes! Bring back, please! I had the Flank Steak which was nice, but not L'Andana standards to me. Desserts still great."

"While my first impression literally was, "Wow, the parking lot seems small." Once inside the beautiful building it was all forgotten as I got lost in the smell of the wood burning fires and the pleasant ambiance of the restaurant. A spacious room with high ceilings gave a open feeling to the room. The waitstaff and hostesses were pleasant and helpful. Our drinks were delicious and the food choices made decision making difficult because there were great options.
We were very happy with our appetizers and entree choices. All the food came out hot (though I thought my soup was a little TOO hot) and the plates were beautifully prepped. The a la carte sides are large and sufficient to share. We will definitely be going again!"

"The only complaint I have about L'Andana is the portion size. I spent approximately $34 for 8 tortellini's stuffed with crabmeat. The tortellini's were very tasty, the presentation was wonderful, but there were only 8! I was still starving after my dinner."

"Nothing is outstanding about this place, except the price for the food. The food quality is just OK and choices are limited. This was the second time I went and I will not recommend it. They are better options around."

"This is just another over priced steak house. The menu is boring as you can imagine since it is just a steak house. Everything is grilled. For that price I would like to see more culinary techniques. For the starter, I had Prosciutto Di Parma. The mozzarella does not taste anything. It tasted like the cheap one you buy at a supermarket. Real Italian fresh mozzarella would be nice. The Filet Mignon was cooked perfectly but again I can grill a steak just as good. The dessert, Panna Cotta Di Caramello with salted caramel was too salty. No one at our table could eat it. What a disappointment!"

"I have been here several times. They have all the ingredients for success. Occasionally there is a hiccup. The server seemed distracted and so there were lapses that affected what otherwise was a wonderful meal. I like L'Andana and will return. I almost always use this venue for business purposes. These people travel alot and are looking for a nice dining experience to make it all worth it."

"We went here to L'Andana to celebrate my wife's birthday. We had a reservation and were immediately seated. We were shown a cocktail menu and wine list to peruse. There was a great selection and I got a cucumber martini while my wife got a blackberry martini. I had the arugula salad and my wife had the ceasar salad. The arugula salad was so fresh! It tasted like the arugula was fresh from the garden. For the entrees, my wife had the salmon and I got the swordfish. We got the truffle fries and sugar snap peas as sides. Again, the fish was very fresh and delicious as were the sugar snap peas. The truffle fries were good as well. I had a glass of pinot grigio from the wine list that was good, too. For dessert we had the panna cotta, amazing!"
