Service was very good. Appetizers were good, but the pastas were the worst I have ever had. Truly unappetizing and paste-like, really felt like they were not cooked for more than a couple minutes and probably in lukewarm water. I’ve been here before and it wasn’t much better but not as bad as this visit.

The food and service is excellent including the front desk. The "tables for two" are nicely arranged, but larger groups are accomodated as well. The food was still hot when we received it which is great especially for fish dishes. Our server was very attentive and helpful with our requests. Try the Sea Bass!!

It was restaurant week and we had a Seabass. Fabulous. The waitress was extremely attentive and helpful regarding the dessert choice. Can’t recommend this place enough. And it’s important to know that you can hear your dinner partner at this restaurant. That is often not the case in DC restaurants

The food took nearly an hour to get to us; the young server was very kind and explained to us why—there was some issue with one of our orders. But it still took nearly an hour. And then my dish, the chicken cacciatore, was just not great. I think it needed more flavors or seasoning. It was pretty bland, although the chicken itself was nice and tender. It was also extremely noisy in there. All in all, not one of my best experiences at Lia’s, which I generally like a lot. Again, our server was wonderful and had a lot of people to deal with.
