“If I’ve learned anything in my years of being a foodie, it’s to trust Michelin recommendations and stars. I’ve been wanting to go to Lyla Lila for over a year and finally got the chance tonight. What a wonderfully satisfying experience. There’s a chill vibe atmosphere here. My husband and I loved our cocktails. I got the Monk’s Repose and he started with Diamond Life and ended with his favorite, Soul Vaccination. Very, very good. For apps, we shared the broccoli & fennel salad (perhaps our single favorite dish of the night. Yes, it’s that good!) and the appetizer portion of the duck lasagna. You can get most of the pastas they serve as an app! For mains, I got the lamb chops with fava beans & lentils (so delicious….that lamb melts in your mouth!) and he got the herb pappardelle with bolognese. Also, the service was chef’s kiss. Our server, Jarina, was so sweet & kind, while also being attentive and professional. Her recommendations were perfect for us. For a perfect dining experience, do yourself a favor and go to Lyla Lila. Just overall perfection. Note: I stole all of these pics from the restaurant’s Instagram and google reviews. If you’re like me, you always want to see pics!”
“I went before a show at the FOX theater. We had a very great experience. The food was incredible, wine list is unique and the service was spot on. The table was a little small for the size of the plates and portions. We enjoyed three pasta courses and desserts. I definitely cheated on my diet, but it was worth it. Make sure you make a reservation.”
“This place was amazing! The food was all top tier but not repetitive at all. Everything was so unique. I recommend the wagyu ravioli, but really everything was great and presented very well. Considering the quality of the food, the portion size, and the fanciness of the restaurant, the price was relatively inexpensive. But the part that took me above and beyond was the people who worked there (staff and chefs). Everyone here was so thoughtful and made it feel like one big family. Definitely the best Italian restaurant in Atlanta!”
“Such a great dining experience! We stopped by to try something different and ended up loving every bite. Began with the smoked scallops, beautifully presented and full of flavor. We sampled a few pasta dishes, but the squid ink pasta was the real highlight — rich, spicy, and perfectly cooked. The staff was warm and attentive throughout. Can’t wait to return for more!”
“We had an incredible dinner at Lyla Lila. We had the snapper and the wagyu truffle ravioli — both dishes were perfectly prepared, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. The highlight, however, was the tiramisu — truly one of the best I’ve ever had, even better than many I’ve tried in Italy! Service was warm and professional, and the atmosphere elegant yet relaxed. A must-visit spot in Atlanta for anyone who appreciates refined cuisine and great hospitality. Highly recommended!”
