Really dissatisfied and disappointed with the food and hygiene here. Dirty table, with dust clearly seen. Ordered ravioli with spinach and ricotta cheese in tomato sauce, the sauce was hot but the ravioli inside was almost cold, food wasn’t fresh. Next dish was pizza with burrata cheese and cherry tomatoes, couldn’t even finish one slice, it was that bad. It seemed they baked the pizza without any ingredients and just added cheese later as cheese was still cold. Tomatoes used are not fresh, canned tomatoes were used as I developed soar throat.
Edit: Thank you for your reply Mr. Owner. We were at your restaurant for less than 45 minutes on the first floor. Your server was informed table is dirty but no reaction. Also maybe you need to check my profile again. I have rated 13 including Indian where food was disappointing. Restaurants that impressed me where I gave 4 or more stars, of those 2 were Indian, 1 Japanese and 1 Thai and the food and service was excellent the day I dined. So don’t try to paint another picture here. We even returned the bread basket that was given as bread seemed not fresh. I understand burrata is not grilled but it shouldn’t have been cold. Maybe yesterday was a bad day and the restaurant failed. It was my birthday and I wanted to have a good meal, and your servers were busy on the ground floor so throughout the meal no one came to check on us or even ask if we needed more food or if everything was ok with our meals. The server took the order and arrived with food in under 10 mins at a time when your restaurant was full. We just ate the food and left disappointed as we simply...

Read moreTop-Tier Italian with Real Attention to Detail We let the team at L’Opera know a day in advance that we were coming, and they had a chilled bottle of biological wine ready for us—something we really appreciated. Great to see a place not only offering that kind of selection but handling it with care.
Dinner was excellent across the board. We had the steak, octopus carpaccio, and crab soup—all executed beautifully. The octopus was delicate and fresh, the steak perfectly cooked, and the crab soup rich and layered without being heavy. We did the scarpetta with their delicious bread—couldn’t help ourselves.
The prosciutto con melon came with an unexpected twist—mango—a combo I’d never had before and really enjoyed. We also had the linguine vongole, then finished with a classic tiramisu and a couple glasses of amaro to round things off.
To top it all off, a live trio played traditional Filipino and Italian/Spanish songs—classy, warm, and a perfect backdrop to the evening.
As someone from Jersey, I’m picky when it comes to Italian food—but L’Opera hits the mark. Elegant yet unpretentious, with a real respect for ingredients and hospitality. Highly...
