La Eda's - Monessen

Waste of money. The first time we thought we would try. Dry days old bread, salad consisted of salad and a pound of cheese. sauce was watered down and gland. Ravioli was gumy, spaghetti and meatballs like a can. The waitress was pretty loud and shy. No inviting atmosphere. Won?t back to see if they redeem themselves

Whenever someone asks me what is the best Italian food in the area, La Eda is always the first recommendation for me. The Gnocchi is my standard for what is good Gnocchi and La Edas Sauce is not a bar. It is one of the favorite places of our family and will always be.

Wow, UNBELIEVABLE! I am a full time RVer and have been all over this country and have never had such a terrible experience. I ordered a chicken Parmesan sandwich. Everywhere else in this country this comes on a sub, hero, hoagie, grinder, whatever you wanna call it. I get there and they only take cash, which is shown on the bottom of their website. So $5 in fees first to start off. They were very nice inside, but when I left, my bag felt kinda ?light?. I get back and I see a small to go tray and open it up and see a chicken parm on a hamburger bun! Okay, this better be good. Nope! This was a frozen chicken patty on a commercial bun. The sauce tasted like dirty water! $12 for a chicken sandwich! I could have got a better chicken sandwich at literally any fast food place for 1/3 the price and way better. What an absolute letdown. If they can?t make a sandwich I can?t imagine how their entrees are.

The garlic toast listed as an app came out with the meal... next I'm not a pro but uummm boxed noodles and chicken strips in the Alfredo?? Not for these prices... I don't remember it being this... blah last time I was here!

Since I was heading to Monessen today for a car show, a friend recommended La Eda's in Monessen for lunch. Was I glad she did! The penne pasta with meat sauce was really flavorful and came with fresh Italian bread. The portion was so large that I could only eat half. In a conversation with Cindy, the waitress, I had mentioned I was going to the car show. So, after she brought the take out boxes, she told me that she could put the leftovers in the refrigerator for me so that I could pick up after the car show! Talk about good service!
