Italian Cuisine
The immense popularity of Italian cuisine globally isn't unknown. You can find an Italian Pizzeria around every corner of almost every city in the United States. Not to forget that in every house, people enjoy mac and cheese as comfort food. But it would be wrong to believe that Italian food starts with pizza and ends with good pasta as this Mediterranean country has much more to offer other than these two dishes. In Italian Cuisine, there is a high use of fresh tomatoes, all kinds of herbs, great quality of cheese, all types of meat, seafood and fresh handmade pasta. Many find it hard to believe that Italians have been making noodles long back.
Italian and Greek cuisines are always mistaken to be same, but they are poles apart. The primary difference between the two cuisines is the use of cheese in most of the Italian dishes. Italians love to cultivate their own cheese and process them as per their food requirement. It is believed that some cheese is so expensive that cheese producers secure them in lockers.
If you are bored eating the same old pasta or pizza, you can try some of the authentic Italian dishes like Risotto, Polenta, Ribollita, Lasagna, Fiorentina Steak, Bottarga, Ossobuco, Carbonara, Focaccia, Arancini and Supplì. Another item which Italians love to relish every morning is a good cup of Italian Coffee. Once you taste a freshly brewed cup of Italian Coffee, you might not visit Starbucks ever again. Authentic Italian food is made with heart and soul, so go find a restaurant where you can relish Italian cuisine in your city.

Great spot! BYOB, which is such a nice option. Friendly and attentive service and delicious food. I had the arugula and beet salad and pasta rolls with spinach and red pepper. My husband had the caprese salad and fish special, which was presented as a full fish but deboned by the server at the table. Everything was fantastic - even the warm bread that was served (and the kind server kept offering to bring us more!). We will definitely be back.

My experience was disappointing. The food was mediocre and the caesar salad although it was prepared by table side (a pleasant surprise - at least I thought at the time) had no cheese and if it had anchovies, their flavor was undetectable. It was essentially a romaine vinaigrette. I should mention that in preparation of the salad at table side, I felt something suddenly wet on my neck. I looked down to find drops of what the server apologetically said was worcestershire sauce on my shirt and slacks (I hope I haven't given away any secret ingredient). Additionally, there were only two servers in the place. Which made service difficult. And although I wouldn't say the service was surly, it was rather matter of fact and unfriendly. Perhaps our server was having a bad evening with only one other person serving all the tables.

Anytime we see both 5 and 1 star local reviews, we need to taste for ourselves. A 4 star for me is quite good. The owner and staff were pleasant and attentive. We had the baked clams appetizer, 4 very tasty variations on Casino, with fresh bread to dip in the broth. The Caesar for 2 was made expertly table side by one of the owners. It's always interesting to see how Italian restaurants trust this Mexican-invented dish, and we really enjoyed this version. My wife had a seafood risotto that she loved; I found it a tad salty, but tasty. I never pass up a soft shell crab special, drenched in butter on perfectly done pasta. I would get it whenever available. Carolyn, an owner, has a home in Northern Italy, and knows her way around indigenous recipes. Marco, the cook, delivered. This is not where you go for meatballs and chicken parm. Come here if you enjoy real Italian styled seafood. The poor acoustic of the previous Butterfish survive, but Laguna promises to address this problem soon. As a BYOB, the value for money is a very good deal - there are few expert Italian seafood restaurants anywhere, and I am happy we have one here in West Chester.

Laguna Miramare is a hidden gem in West Chester. I have an absolutely magical experience every time I visit. Carolyn and Chef Marco, the restaurant's owners, are incredibly passionate about their restaurant and their food. Their menu is unique-- Northern Italian fare that comes specifically from Trieste and the surrounding region. You won't find anything else like it in Chester or Delaware County (perhaps not even in Philadelphia). Moreover, Chef Marco is a genius at what he does; the food is incredible!! On my last visit, I had the grilled fish, which Carolyn personally fileted table-side. The ingredients were beautiful and the product was delicious. Also amazing was the grilled octopus, which I had as appetizer. Octopus can be difficult to prepare as cooking it even slightly too long can leave the meat rubbery and tasteless. Laguna Miramare's version, however, was cooked perfectly. I'll certainly order it again on my next visit. I've eaten at a lot of the heavyweight restaurants in Philadelphia -- Fond, Vetri, Marigold Kitchen, etc. -- and I truly believe this restaurant can hang with any of them. Yes, you may spend a little more here than at some other restaurants in the area, but if you're looking for a genuinely exquisite gastronomic experience and you don't want to make the trek to Center City, you should definitely come here. Five stars. Bravo!

Had an incredibly fun and delicious evening here! First, byo and free parking... Two of my favorites! No hassle of west Chester parking. Sat promptly by a very friendly hostess who had many recommendations. Our friends were all lost and arrived late; some places this may be an issue... Not here! Our night began with a geography lesson from the owner. Interesting! And helped us to understand food better. Our service was so slow. But we were very happy to have it that way. We could catch up with our friends and savor each course as they came out. Now it has been two weeks so I can not remember everything but I do remember everything was incredible!! We had the artichokes, eggplant, and the pasta with mushrooms for group appetizers. I could not pick a favorite because each one was wonderful Two people at our table had the fish filleted at our table. It looked beautiful and they both were very pleased. I had shrimp. Not what I thought I ordered but l loved it! Several desserts delicious!! So much food! Great prices, I thought! Owner was very, very busy!! But kept coming over to chat. She even joined us in an after dinner drink! What a hoot! I have been telling everyone about this restaurant because I felt it was truly unique and an amazing addition to the local food scene.

Had a reservation for 6:30. We were promptly seated. Orders were taken quickly and appetizers arrived shortly after. Caprese salad was good, butternut squash app was soggy and calamari was under done and rubbery. Waited 45 minutes after apps cleared for our entrees, which arrived and were undercooked, cold or not prepared to our request. Three out of four entrees went back. Wonder what will replace this eatery?

Nice BYO and glad we stumbled upon it. Food was very good and our server was awesome. I forget his name but real nice guy from southern Italy. I highly recommend the place

Living in Philly for a few years, I've been able to try several of the primo restaurants in the area. Having been to LM a few times now, I am confident in saying that it matches up stride for stride with most of those. Of course, with a restaurant of this quality, the service is always on point. My waiters have always been attentive and warm without hovering over my shoulder. They show up at the right times, and I never have to wait long if I need attention for any reason. The food is also extremely high quality. This isn't the "Italian" food you find at chain restaurants. This style of food comes straight from Italy, even down to the way the menu is presented. You won't find Americanized dishes like chicken parm or spaghetti and meatballs. What you will find is traditional dishes expertly prepared. The bolognese sauce is decadent, the pasta has always been light and springy, and the meat cooked perfectly, succulent and moist. Get the Caesar salad: it's always a treat to have one made tableside by someone who knows what they're doing. Remember, it's BYOB, which increases the value. Bring some decent wine and friends, and you can spend some time enjoying Italian food the way it was meant to be enjoyed.
(5)Mimi C.
Really can't say enough about the amazing food here. The ambiance is wonderful and the staff friendly and efficient. But THE FOOD! Really amazing things coming out of the kitchen at this place. It's a hidden gem for sure.
(5)Linda M.
The food is the closest you'll get to authentic Italian without going to Italy. Try everything. Feel free to be adventurous. Amazingly delicious. I'm a South Philly Italian...I love the food here. Best in WC.

Had a couple "first(s)" here. I am not a huge salt fan, but I salted a meal for the first time due to lack of taste. I have also never met a piece of cheesecake I haven't wanted to devour. However the cheesecake was closer to paste without taste. I tried my date's meal too and hers tasted like it was out of a box. It also has a weird vibe as far as the ambiance, its a stale enviroment that feels empty with the kitchen behind a wall. Some of the staff was friendly, the person in charge was not.

Our experience at Laguna has always been wonderful and we have been multiple times. Its excellent food, nice location (with parking) and a BYOB. The food is unique, fresh, very seafood based, and healthy. I know one reviewer said they had a bad experience, and I am familiar with how frustrating and maddening that can be (not here, but elsewhere). Please consider giving it another shot. Carolyn and Marco are both very nice and accommodating. I have no vested financial interest in their survival, but I do appreciate small business and the difficulty of the restaurant business. The servers are very, very nice too.

I have to say my colleague and I had a wonderful lunch yesterday. The rolls are heavenly. Best I ever had. Can't wait to go back with my husband for dinner. I love this space. Wonderful paintings on the walls. My pasta was good. Mousse pie excellent. I hope this place succeeds. Spread the word. It needs more advertising. I didn't know it was open and I live five minutes away. How about another article in the Daily Local!
