    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!

    Great food and service. Slow getting cocktails from bar after ordering. Great bangs for the dining buck.

    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.
