“ I swing by Lia’s Italian Restaurant about twice a week, and let me tell you, this place is the neighborhood’s best-kept secret. Every dish on the menu is a knockout—pure perfection. The pizza? An absolute masterpiece, criminally underrated. The bar and dining room crew? Total pros, always bringing their A-game with service that’s as warm as the fresh-baked bread. If you’re nearby, hit up their happy hour (bar side only) for killer menu specials and drinks that keep flowing ‘til close. Trust me, you’ll leave planning your next visit. ”
“ Impressive food and service...Lia's really delivered! Karina provided excellent service and gave us great food and wine pairing recommendations! All of her recommendations were spot on! Antipasto dishes we especially liked were the Crispy Bacon Brussels Sprouts, Tiny Little Meatballs, and Warm Marinated Olives. The Tuscan Chicken was outstanding... flavorful, juicy, and so very good. Manager Teresa resolved a small issue quickly and professionally. We were so impressed we came back the next night and enjoyed and equally superb dinner and wine. Both the goat cheese ravioli and truffle mushroom raviolis were delightful. ”
“ The burrata was delicious and fresh. The pasta was also good. They are quite generous since for the restaurant week you can just pick almost everything on the regular menu. ”
“ Lia's visit was outstanding with all meetings. The food was tested, and quality all over was great. Service was so friendly and professional. Also, I don't want to forget about the bread that came to the table as soon as we were seated, one of the best bread I have ever had. I am definitely coming back soon and I would like to recommend to all my friends. ”
“ Me and my family went here last night to celebrate my niece birthday and it was great! The service and food were really good, I honestly have no serious complaints other than the Cesar salad could’ve used a bit more dressing. I had the shrimp scampi(had jumbo shrimp!), burrata, and Cesar salad. Also, had a taste of family member’s food as well such as the deluxe supreme pizza(ordering for myself next time), Maryland Blue Crab Cavatelli, and calamari. Overall great night! Thanks for making her dinner go well, special thanks to my waitress Molly! ”
“ Went here for Thanksgiving for the first time and amazing service for such a busy holiday, food came out hot and delicious. Friendly staff- Calina, our waitress was amazing! The chocolate decadence cake was so rich and delicious. I did try their caramel apple crumble- the cinnamon ice cream that came with it and that was so good. The Mediterranean salad was one of the best Mediterranean salads I’ve ever had... loved how thin the peppers, pepperoncinis, cucumbers and lettuce was cut. The roasted Turkey dinner was delicious. The white meat and gravy was really good. The stuffing was great. All of the food was exceptional. The drink I got was called a Pom Circumstance...pomegranate, gin, orange and honey. Soo good. Definitely coming back!! Plus they validate parking which is nice! ”
