I gave La Befana a try recently when I was in the mood to graze, because the apps here are inexpensive and had high marks from you fellow Yelpers -- also, delivery is free!
I decided to try the garlic knots, jalapeno poppers, and crispy chicken wings with BBQ sauce, and I have to say, overall, they hit the spot. The poppers were probably my favorite; they were tangy and crispy, which is exactly what I want from poppers. The wings were also crispy and perfectly cooked, but I was expecting them to have actually been cooked in sauce, whereas sauce had clearly just been poured over them after they had been prepared (see photo). Still tasty, but the description on the menu felt a little misleading. Finally, the garlic knots -- which are touted as being freshly baked -- did indeed taste very fresh, and the dough was amazing. However, there was not much garlic flavor to them, and I ended up sprinkling them with garlic powder and extra Parmesan myself.
As for portion sizes, I got two servings out of the poppers and wings and three from the garlic knots; given how inexpensive this place is, the portions are more than generous. And even with my quibbles about preparation, the food was good enough that I'd like to try other menu items -- so I'll definitely be ordering from here again!
