Lilia is Chef Missy Robbins' ingredient driven Italian restaurant, inspired by the spirit of seasonal and regional simplicity. A strong focus on fish, vegetables, hand-made pasta, and wood-fired cooking. Our seasonal outdoor dining (Piazza and Patio) is weather-dependent and not heated.
“Heard about this place and yes it’s hard to get someone on the phone because they are all working. Difficult to book because they are well worth it. Walked in with my Valentine on Valentine Night and was able to get a nice table. Ordered the mussels as an appetizer and they were so flavorful that I had to order a second order. Dinner was Sea-bass with potatoes which I enjoyed everything about. My date had the pasta. The wine was fruity and so worth it. I loved everything about LILIA. Customer service, the attention to detail for everyone. Nothing was left on the table, it was cleared immediately after consumption. Well worth it all. Total recommendation. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Super friendly staff and a great place to spend an evening catching up with friends. We booked a 6pm patio table, so we didn’t see much of the inside, but it was packed so reservations are a must. The patio was perfect though, plenty of separation from the sidewalk and a comfortable setup. Most importantly, the food was fantastic. It’s not cheap, but the portions were fair and everything felt thoughtfully prepared with real attention to detail. If I were to recommend two things, it would be the focaccia and the agnolotti, they were the table favorites. Overall, we had a great experience and would absolutely recommend it.”
“Went to Lilia for Valentine's Day and had a great experience! We ordered the housemade mozzarella, scallops, mussels, agnolotti, and lamb leg steak to share. Everything was delicious. The Italian Job for dessert was great too. I've never had olive oil and fennel pollen on gelato before, so was pleasantly surprised by how well it all blended. The service was great! She was super friendly and attentive throughout the night.”
“I usually hear people going before they open to get a table, and was so excited that I was able to reserve online! The staff were nice and helpful with deciding our orders, and we were glad that we did not skip on the focaccia! I was way too full afterwards, so I think the 2 of us could’ve just gotten one pasta instead of 2 (or just one appetizer)!”
“Leaving a review after trying two times, first time was almost three years ago. Still don’t get the hype. The focaccia is definitely not a traditional focaccia - more like a dinner roll. The mortadella filled tortelli was so confusing - barely any mortadella?? More like just cheese fillling. Rigatoni diavola was so salty. Fettuccine with lamb was nothing special… Only thing that was good was agnolotti, wish they gave more dried tomato. The softserve Italian job was good, didn’t need the honey drizzle for my personal preference. Overall there is just nothing so impressive to be such a hard to get reservation spot. Sadly can’t recommend and won’t be back.”
