One of the best Italian restaurants in Atlanta - the wait staff had excellent recommendations; everything we had was exceptional! Would highly recommend the Truffle Wagyu Ravioli and the Duck Lasagna, and the desserts were top tier (Lemon Cheesecake and Tiramisu) - a warning though, the desserts were huge!

A tad bit too salty on both entrees I tried. Other than that the flavor was pristine.Portions are quite so small so expect to spend around $100 if you’re a big eater.

The music was awesome, our waiter was so amazing, and the food (all 5 dishes our table tried - recommend the duck lasagna, buffalo ravioli, chicken, snapper, and ice cream sandwich!) was delicious. We can’t wait to go back!

Summary: great fine dining experience in midtown Atlanta; great interior; mostly pasta-drive; great cocktails and wine list; variety of good seating (bar, booth, etc.). Based on two visits a year apart (most recent was March 2024).Big fan of this place. Had the pappardelle with wagyu (with some wine by the glass), duck fat washed bourbon, and ice cream sandwich. Pasta was one of the best meals I’ve had in Atlanta—firm pasta, generous portion of wagyu, buttery but not overly heavy sauce. I may order it again next, although they change their menu.Bourbon cocktail was wonderful—hope that stays permanently. It’s not overly complicated—just think of glass of bourbon but enhanced so that the mouthfeel and texture is thick and dessert-like. Serve on a single large rock with a touch of citrus.I like the ice cream sandwich, but I’d like to try the tiramisu next time.Vibe: love the interior--I can’t describe that stuff, so just Google it. Good soundtrack too—mostly more refined 80s (Smiths, Cure, Talking Heads) with classic jazz. One thing—this place looks great in both day and night (the windows). One of my favorite nice places in Atlanta, especially since midtown and downtown don’t have that many genuinely good options.

Grabbed a last minute dinner reservation and it did not disappoint. The drinks flavorful and unique. Loved that the calamari wasn’t the traditional fried and the fried artichoke was completely edible from stem to heart. Pastas are made fresh and available in 60% portions (for about 60% the price). Definitely recommend the Duck Lasagna and Squid Ink Pasta. We completed our meal with the ice cream sandwich filled with cherries. We will definitely be back with more friends and family!
oh. my. lanta. 5 stars. every aspect was perfect.our server, Ayberk, was awesome! i was unaware of two wine varietals (grasevina & grillo) and she NAILED her descriptions. all of her food recommendations were on point, too.i’m a big fan of restaurants with a rotating menu based on what’s available seasonally and locally, and Lyla Lila delivers that in a cozy artsy atmosphere. every single dish was scrumptious and wonderfully plated. the showstopper was definitely the wagyu cheek with pappardelle—so tender ?? the artichokes were the best iteration i’ve ever had!my best friend and i had such an impeccable time! it was my absolute favorite dining experience in Atlanta so far, and this was my fourth visit to the city. we are already looking forward to our revisit to Lyla Lila in September!

We had a party of 2 for dinner at 8 pm on Wednesday, 3/6/24. We were able to get a reservation the week before, probably because it was the middle of the week, but they were still packed! Paid street parking and other parking garages and lots nearby. Mike D. was our waiter and he was great, along with everyone else who took care of us!We ordered way too much food, but we wanted to try a lot, and we got to take leftovers home. You can get half orders of the pastas, which is a game changer! We got to try more that way. no Here’s what we got:- Rosemary Ciabatta Bread ($7): OMGGGG. The molasses-smoked salt butter was divine. It was reminiscent of an Auntie Anne’s pretzel in the best way.- Crispy Artichokes ($22): This was the only thing we were both unimpressed with. Didn’t feel like there was anything special about it and wouldn’t get it again.- Cold Smoked Scallops ($28): Wowow. Super good and unique. Presentation was also cool with the dome of smoke.- Crispy Duck Lasagna (half order, $22): Good! Glad we got a half order because the full one would’ve been a lot! The carrot-coriander purée was also unexpectedly very good!! At other restaurants, it might’ve been a thoughtless garnish, but the carrot really freshened up the dish.- Capeletti Ravioli (half order, $23): Very good!- Wagyu Beef and Black Truffle Ravioli (half order, $25): Good, not as heavy as I was expecting. We wish it had been more truffle-forward. But the beef was very tasty!- NY Strip Steak ($65): Good! My picture doesn’t do it justice. The potatoes and broccoli were good too.- Wood Grilled Mushrooms ($19): This was amaaaaazing. We got our truffle-forwardness and then some here. Soo good!For dessert, we got Tiramisu ($12) and Chocolate Mousse Cake ($12). Both were delicious! The Tiramisu was huuuge! The espresso ($3.50) was also good!For drinks, I got Atomic Bomb ($17) and Monks Repose ($16). They were good! They gave us free champagne because we were celebrating my husband’s birthday and that was also very good.We had a wonderful experience here and would definitely be back to try more!

This spot is a must for a fancy night out. The interior is very cute. The food is overall really good. Everyone enjoyed the smoked eggplant caramelle. I thought the cappelletti pasta was bland and the main flavor was the basil sauce. The pepper relish was a surprisingly nice pop of flavor to combat the strong basil sauce, but still would’ve liked to taste the actual pasta and filling. The starter salads were both good. Ciabatta was nice. The wine was good as well. We got the chocolate-orange mousse cake, the ice cream sandwich, and the tirimisu for dessert. The mousse cake had an orange caramel sauce that was fully reminiscent of the chocolate orange balls with the slices. The cookie on the ice cream sandwich was delicious. The chocolate shell could’ve been just a tad thinner so you could really enjoy the cookie, but a very satisfying dessert. The tiramisu was massive and enough for 3 people for sure. I would recommend this place to people looking for upscale Italian, but I don’t think I would recommend to other vegetarians based on the limited menu. I saw some reviews that said the chef would make special dishes if you asked, but the chef was not in when I went and the waiter said he didn’t know what I was talking about.Vegetarian options: There could be more vegetarian options. And the ones they have are probably not truly vegetarian because they use Parmesan cheese.Parking: The only parking unless you randomly get lucky with a street spot is the Georgian terrace, which really should be validated because spending an extra $20 on parking after over $100 on a meal feels ridiculous.
Amazing dinner! Great service and wonderful food. We had the ciabatta and chef's butter (a molasses salted butter when we went) and the broccoli/fennel/celery said as starters.For mains we had the duck lasagna and the herbed pasta with wagyu beef cheeks. Both great, although surprisingly the herbed pasta was the richer of the two dishes.Our server Stagford was also great.My only disappointment was that I put in my reservation, and mentioned on the phone when I called to adjust my reservation, that I was celebrating my birthday - but no one acknowledged it. Not the server, or the hosts. I would've said something myself, but felt awkward doing so when I had a dinner companion. Unfortunately he didnt say anything either ?
