Lilia is a restaurant known for its seafood, with grilled prawns, scallops, and clams being standout dishes. The pasta offerings are highly praised, with some calling it the best pasta they have ever had, noting that it melts in the mouth and is incredibly fresh and satisfying. Desserts have received positive remarks, though they are not considered extraordinary. The housemade mozzarella, sheeps milk cheese agnolotti, ricotta gnocchi, and fettucine lamb sausage are all highly appreciated.
Service at Lilia is a strong point, with friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable waitstaff providing professional service. The timing and pacing of dishes are well-managed, contributing to a smooth dining experience. The atmosphere is energetic and lively, focusing on the food. The menu is creative, offering exceptional dishes, especially in seafood and pasta. One dish, the artichoke (Carcioffe!), has been noted as tastier and bigger than before. The food suggestions from staff and the bar experience are also praised, adding to the overall enjoyment.
The restaurant has some areas that could improve, such as the toasted garlic bread, which some found burnt and lacking flavor, and a desire for softer bread on the focaccia. Despite this, many customers say they would return, especially for the pasta and seafood dishes, even if reservations are made a month in advance.
