On a recent evening, the ricotta gelato with fig, a frozen dessert that most closely resembled the filling of the best possible cannoli, threaded through with jam, lingered only a moment at the table before evaporating. Where had it gone? Into the ether of La Gallina’s travels. Like so much else served that evening, it was reason enough to return.

“German-born restaurateur Matthias Kiehm has worked all over the world. But, now, Lynnfield’s La Gallina is home.”

“La Gallina brings coastal Mediterranean cuisine to Lynnfield. The warm, rustic restaurant debuts this fall.”
