    As usual, La Fia did not disappoint. The food was delicious and the service was outstanding. It was a first visit for my sister, who is from out of state. She commented on the interesting architecture of the building and the artwork displayed. We look forward to our next visit to La Fia.

    We enjoyed the food greatly as always. There was only one waitress (for 30+ patrons) in this evening. With this caution, I felt the lady did an excellent job with her workload. We were not neglected. However, the lady had to rush One person in our party has food allergies. The lady managed it very well. We are grateful.

    We recently came for a date night and had a fantastic dining experience. The food was outstanding (eggplant milanese, wagyu beef tartare, bucatini alla gricia, pappardelle, and a chocolate hazelnut entremet to end the meal). It was intimate enough that I could carry on a conversation with my husband quietly but also loud enough that if we wanted to people watch and ear hustle the diners around us for our own entertainment we could, basically the best of both worlds. We will be back!

    Remains one of my favorite restaurants. The food, the service and the ambiance cannot be beat. This is my go-to event (romantic first dates, holidays, celebrations) restaurant.

    Another fabulous meal at La Fia; it's always fun to go with someone who hasn't been before, or only once or twice and get to see them experience all of the amazing food for the first time! As always, everything was absolutely outstanding: the focaccia with the honey butter is so addicting, I feel like I can't not order it now--same for the duck leg confit. I wasn't going to get it this time, and then someone else in our party was ordering it, and I knew I would wish I had ordered it when it arrived at the table for him! The pappardelle was incredible; all of us ordered it! And then we got the maple ice cream and the passion fruit sorbet for dessert, and both were excellent. Terrific cocktails as always, and the best service! The most wonderful place to have a meal that somehow manages to feel both informal and homey and special and chic at the same time (and love the holiday decor)! The best start to vacation!

    I don’t typically write about food but this meal was exceptional. Flavors were extraordinary in everything we tried. The squids ink spaghetti was a standout dish, beautifully made and unbelievably delicious. Go. It’s Wilmington but it challenges the best of Philly or NYC. Really.
