At his request, we celebrated my husband's birthday at Lia's. We had not dined there since 2020. The food was good, the wait staff was pleasant and attentive, but what made the visit exceptional and memorable was the attention paid by the manager, Theresa, to ensuring that we enjoyed my husband's birthday celebration. Theresa made sure that no detail was left undone including preparing and boxing the special desert we requested! Theresa's outstanding service elevated Lia's on our list of great places to dine!
Every dish arrived hot and exactly as ordered. My out of town guests raved about the food.
Great food and service. Slow getting cocktails from bar after ordering. Great bangs for the dining buck.
This restaurant is near my job & it's a great spot! Food is good & the service is impeccable! Great customer service!
I had the Gnocchi and it was delicious. The Strawberry Rhubarb Smash cocktail was to die for. Perfectly balanced and something I haven't had before. Yum!
Lia's is always reliable and the chicken Milanese I had was good, though too small with the accompanying arugula. It was half-price night for a bottle of wine and we were happy with our choices of both red and white.
All good ?! Very nice staff, various menu. Nice location and outside area. Reasonable prices. And dinner was yummy. Thank you!

The service was ideal, frequent water/drink refills without frequently interrupting the conversation to "check-in". The entree portions can be large, so either skip an appetizer or plan for leftovers. There is indoor and outdoor seating.

The burrata was delicious and fresh. The pasta was also good. They are quite generous since for the restaurant week you can just pick almost everything on the regular menu. Good service.

Lovely patio. Very slow service. Not a pizza place. Disappointed, but we may come back and try something else.

Still or sparkling? Unless that sparkling is coming in a bottle, customers should never pay for it. Pretty lame. Food was ok. I just had a salad and a glass of cabernet, both were fine.
The place was busy, and after having eaten there, I am surprised: It was noisy, expensive, and “nothing to write home about”! The service was very good, but nothing else was! Hyperbolic but accurate: it’s the quintessence of mediocrity!
Vegetarian options: Forgot what I had because it was forgettable.i recall, I had the vegetarian pizza. Toppings were ok, but crust was flaccid.

We used to frequent Lia's but a bit back did not have a couple of outstanding meals. Tonight, however, was outstanding. We will be back and letting friends know that Lia's food and service are top shelf. Each dish we ordered was well plated and appropriately spiced; the portions were perfect; the care of the food allergy and sensitivity were appropriately accommodated with suggestions made. We will be back!
The staff was very accommodating and moved us to an outside table because it was very noisy inside and particularly next to our assigned table. Note to Open Table - I don't like surveys in the first place and resent Open Table requiring me twice to submit both my telephone number and email address. I only continued with the survey because the Lia's staff was so accommodating.
I have been to Lia's many times- love sitting on the patio and the great casual aspect. Was very disappointed in the food- 2nd time this happened. Last time we had Italian fare and this time we had burgers. Definitely the food has gone downhill from the past.
