Hi Cindy,
Where do we begin????
Everything was great!!!
The room setup, the food, the staff.
We have had many parties, this one was the best I can say without
a blink of an eye. This was the first time I have ever been
relaxed at one of our parties, and I didn't even have a drink.
We have sent so many friends to the restaurant
and they have all loved it. After yesterday's party I'm
sure you will have many more. Everyone loved it and I have been
getting many phone calls today expressing how much they enjoyed
it.
Thank you all so much...
See you all soon
The Corrao Family
Cindy,
Angela was going to call you. She was impressed with the way
everything was set up and the food was awesome. Deb, Lynne the
whole staff were the BEST! We really had a wonderful time
including our guests! Check out the wine label I made on the
wall if its still there...enjoy our oil.
Dave, Angela & Family
This past weekend, 16 of us went out to dinner to La Stanza Diva,
my favorite restaurant in Woburn, Massachusetts, to visit a
hidden gem that the more people I bring to, the more they keep
going back. The food is some of the best you will ever taste from
the appetizers through desert but it is the atmosphere and
service that always leaves me and my friends with memories that
will last a long time. It is a tribute to the owner "Chef Lynne"
Howell, who I am also honored to be able to call a friend.
With today's busy schedules between work, kids, etc., anytime you
can get 16 friends together for a night out is always special.
That alone is a successful evening but when you combine it with
great food and great service, you have a memorable evening. That
is what makes La Stanza Diva so special, especially for me and it
is mainly thanks to its leader, Chef Lynne and her entire staff.
Quite simply, she knows what makes her restaurant special and
people do not only get a great meal when they visit but they also
leave having a great experience. It is a textbook case of
Service 101.
My friends were not disappointed as everybody raved about the food
and the night was filled with many stories and even more
laughs. For my wife Tracy and me, knowing Chef Lynne allows us to
feel like royalty when we go there because she always makes sure
to say hello to our group and sends out something special for us
during the night. Despite being ultra busy on a Saturday night,
the wait staff gives you their undivided attention and makes
every guest feel like they are their only party.

Dear Chef Lynne:
Just want to compliment you on your most excellent Putanesca Sauce. As I told you Saturday night,
I have eaten this everywhere and yours is up there with the best
which I found in Aruba at La Dolce Vita. Yours may be even
better since I have been trying to get the word across to the
chef there that he uses way too many olives although the product
is excellent. You used the best quantity. Love it and will most
certainly be back. Now I don't have to fly 4 hours to get the
best Putanesca!

Dear Chef
Lynne:
My new husband
Ondreaj and I would like to sincerely thank you and your staff
for our wonderful wedding reception on June 30th that you all
helped to arrange. Our guests had a great time and were totally
impressed both by the food and the service. Cindy Carey was a
great liaison person for me, explaining what could be done for a
function, and the staff on the reception night was wonderful.
Our wait staff Lynne and Rogerio were helpful, poised and
patient - and I know we were weren’t an easy party to deal with,
we must have taken ten years off their lives. Please tell them
that we really appreciated their consistent friendliness,
efficiency and patience throughout the evening.
My friends and
guests keep telling me what a fantastic time they had, what a
funky place La Stanza Diva is, and that they want to come back
and eat there again! Our most sincere thanks to you all.
Kind Regards,
Martha London

Hello Cindy, Lynne and all at La Stanza Diva, Words cannot
express how amazing Monday night was! I cannot say thank you
enough. My husband was so surprised, and was so excited to share
your wonderful restaurant with all of our friends and family.
The appetizers, as usual, were amazing, we still cannot believe
the sauce that is over the fried mozzarella, it is so good!
Short Ribs are Joel's favorite and they were clearly fresh and
cooked with care! The real winner, the Tilapia! HOW
DELICIOUS!!!!
I am so impressed with your attention to detail. Joel felt
like the whole evening was for him - from the menu preparations
to the dessert table. The cookies were so great, freshly baked -
fondue was the best thing to end the meal. I do not know how you
did it all!
Not to mention the wait staff, who were so helpful the whole
evening, even offering to go get us some more wine when we ran
out. The Tony Barrie band really was the icing on the cake. What
a special night, thank you so much once again.
We look forward to many more nights at your restaurant,
Julie and Joel Williams

As a frequent visitor and avid fan of your restaurant, I
recently placed a catering order. Well, I just wanted to let you
know that my guests will now become your new diners. No better
compliment than that! The food was great. Kudos to your catering
service! :-) Adele Mibrano

Dear Chef

Dear Lynne, Last night my wife and I had the incredible
experience of being brought to your magnificent restaurant by
our daughter and son-in-law, and it was our first visit. Even
though I went up to your kitchen area to tell you how impressed
I was, I thought it important to send you a semi-brief note.
Not only was the quality of everything served to
us beyond expectation and thoroughly delicious, but the portions
were so large that three out of four took home leftovers to
savor today.
We can't wait to return, and we have been lauding La Stanza
Diva to all of our friends in the hope that they'll join us to
wallow in the pleasure of your culinary delights. Thank you so
much for presenting this unique dining experience.
With quivering taste buds,
Robert Wallace

Dear Chef Lynne and Cindy, Awesome job for my sister! Oh My
God... she's been going on in my ear for nearly 45 minutes. She
and her husband and their friends totally enjoyed the food and
the atmosphere. She just finished her leftovers (yes... I got
the soup to nuts description of every morsel... drooool)! I
can't thank you enough for making my brother-in-law's birthday,
and first LSD experience all it was!
You truly are the goddesses of gourmet!
Love,
Judi

Dear Chef Lynne,
I just wanted to thank you. Your
staff is great! We had my husband's surprise 30th birthday at
your restaurant this past Saturday. Cindy did a great job
helping me plan the menu and get everything in order. The food
was outstanding as usual and your servers and host staff were
great. Your restaurant has been a favorite of ours since you
were in N. Woburn. This past Saturday we introduced your
restaurant to 15 new people who I know will be returning. Thank
you for a memorable evening.

Lynne, Thank you so much for a wonderful dinner last Friday
evening. I spoke with you before dinner and you were kind enough
to move our table for us into the front room. The "cheese" dish
that you sent to us was fabulous! We have followed you from
North Woburn to Woburn Square and will follow where ever you may
be! Thank you and see you again soon!

Dear Cindy, I'd like to thank all the staff at La Stanza Diva
for their excellent service and attention to detail. The food
was incredible (as usual) and the wait staff was very attentive
and kind. You will definitely see many of the faces that were
there that night again. We are all big fans of the food and
ambiance.
I made a point of saying to Chef Lynne how helpful you have
been in coordinating the event. I couldn't have done it without
your help. Thank you all so much.
Very Sincerely,
Andrew Teixeira

Dear Chef Lynne, Just wanted to let you know we all had a
great time!! It actually worked out well that we were in the
dining room. Other tables joined our celebration. Lisa and Alana
did a fabulous job...they will tell you I was a little stressed
in the beginning but quickly realized they had everything under
control and I could relax. The food was fantastic as usual and
lots of it!! Thank you for making my Dad's 75th birthday a
successful and memorable occasion. Most importantly, he had a
great time!
Thanks again,
Robin Popp

Dear Chef Lynne, I wanted to say we had a WONDERFUL time at my
Mom's party. The food was AMAZING as always. The polenta was
unbelievable and people raved over the eggplant parm. We had a
ton of leftovers, which we're so psyched for. We'll be eating
the scrumptious food for days!
Christina did a great job, please let her know that I really
did appreciate her service that night. Again, thanks so much, my
wife and I and friends hope to be back real soon!

Dear Chef
Lynne,
Our faith has
been restored! Thank you so much for specially preparing our
meals last evening at La Stanza Diva Ristorante. Everything was
wonderful just as it has been on our previous visits. We are
delighted that we were right all along. La Stanza Diva is a very
special restaurant and you are the best! As the fall months
begin, we look forward to seeing you when we return many, many
more times to La Stanza Diva. Again our sincerest thanks for
your interest and attention.

Dear Lynn,
We were just talking about you and how nice it was of you to
send one of your famous Stuffed Artichokes home with Sandy and I
for our daughters. We all loved sharing it the next day and are
now planning our next visit to La Stanza Diva. It's always nice
to see you and we wish you continued success. See you soon!

I was fortunate enough to be introduced to your restaurant last
evening. We had a wonderful evening and the food was fabulous.
Kudos to the chef!!

Let me start by saying that your restaurant is the best Italian
Restaurant I have ever eaten at and one of my all-time favorites
of any kind of restaurant. I enjoyed a whole lobster on a bed of
pasta during one of my visits. It seems that the pasta had
roasted potatoes and artichokes in it and was in a light cream
sauce. I have not stopped thinking about it (I hurt myself
trying to finish it, especially after the appetizer, etc.).
Keep up the great work!

Just a note to let you know my wife and I, along with another
couple, were at your restaurant Saturday night in Woburn and had
a lovely time. We were lucky enough to experience your fine
cooking which if I may say, was absolutely fantastic! Your staff
was wonderful and they left me feeling like I was eating at
someone's house for a holiday meal.
You're a gifted chef and I wanted to tell you that
personally.
Thank you so much,
Wayne A. DeLuca

Dear Chef Lynne,
When my family spent last Thursday evening at
your restaurant, I was prepared to have a "nice" evening.
Instead I had an epiphany! I was not alone, we were all very
quiet on the ride home suffering from shock and awe! We have
relived this night with any friend or family members that would
listen. My youngest daughter is still talking about your
artichokes and your vodka sauce left a tear in my
Father-in-Law's eye. The pecorino cheese with truffle oil and
walnuts and your stuffed veal chop... simply mesmerizing! You
are a truly talented chef that has honed her craft! We thank you
for cooking for us on Thursday and look f forward to sharing
another evening with you very soon.
Thank you again,
Bridget

Hi Lynne, Sorry you were not with us the other night but I did
want to drop you a note and say the food was exquisite and your
staff did a great job! The guest of honor, his family and guests
thoroughly enjoyed it, and no doubt many will visit you again!
Thanks again,
Janice |
