Fantastic food and great service. The owner Lisa and her husband are so kind and treat you like family. It was our first time and we will definitely be back. A hidden gem in Chesterton. Great live music also.

Meatballs are delicious, but my favorite are the Italian beef sliders! They're melt in your mouth fabulous!

Cute place, love the assortment of tables and chairs. The owners are fun - one of them especially is a riot! Love her! Definitely try one of the desserts while you're here - I love the tiramisu. Only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is I wish there were a few more menu options, and the last two times I ordered the meatball sub I had to have them re-heat it because the meatballs weren't hot inside. BUT - when they were re-heated, they were great! :)

Love the renovations they have done! Beautiful place and the service was amazing! I was expecting more traditional Italian entrees, but was glad they had stuffed pasta as one of their specials as I didn't see any vegetarian/vegan options. Plenty of appetizers to choose from and quite a few sandwich and panini options as well. Outdoor seating is also available!

Great, affordable lunch spot. The atmosphere is very homelike. Food was amazing. We’d like to return another time to try dinner.
We found this unexpectedly after hiking in the Indiana Dunes. The owner, Lisa checked on us at our table and we had a lovely conversation! The Chicken Sandwich was amazing and the sampler appetizer with meatball, and arancini was awesome. I was pleased to find Italian wines on the menu! On the way out I sampled a homemade cannoli. It was excellent! I will definitely return when in town! I wish this restaurant much success!

A quaint lil place with very friendly staff and great food. Our meal was delicious. We chose to sit inside where very few others were, which also gave us an opportunity to interact with many of the sweet staff. We asked for them to just leave the water pitcher at our table so they wouldn't have to worry about filling our glasses so much. They left it, but they still remained very attentive to us, even stopping to fill those water glasses with a smile. Thank you for a lovely evening.

Lia's is a delight! Food, desert and ambiance is a slice of heaven. The wine is better here than places that focus on serving wine. Cocktails too. A win/win for a nice relaxing place after a busy week at work. Thank you for coming to Chesterton!

Pleasant day, pleasant outdoor lunch. Meatballs and a Caesar salad were more than enough for one meal. Had the leftovers for dinner. Friendly staff. Would recommend outdoor seating on a nice day.
