    Everything was perfect for my birthday celebration. The waiter was perfect--attentive, patient, and helpful in every way. Combine that with delicious food that we were able to share, and you have a great luncheon treat.

    Our visit couldn’t have been more wonderful! Brittany was our server and managed to multitask between her duties behind the bar and making sure that we were comfortable at all points in the evening.

    We have eaten at the restaurant several times & each time the food is authentic Italian cuisine. The wait staff is attentive and the appetizer bread basket & spread is delicious. We celebrated my wife’s birthday there recently and our waitress, Morgan, was amazing! Our new fav waitress for sure!!! Smaller establishment so on a Friday or Saturday the noise is what you’d expect for a top notch restaurant full of patrons.

    We ate at Lia's with 3 friends last night. The place was packed and clearly the restaurant was understaffed. We had to wait for our server several times, at times it was 15 or more minutes. We had to seek out or server several times. So the service was not what I expected. In all, we had a 6:00 reservation and did not get out until 9:00. The food was very good. We had the salmon, Tuscan chicken, and two pasta dishes. Two of us got dessert. Will definitely think twice before going back for dinner.

    Dear Bea, thank you for telling us about your recent experience at Lia's. We take a lot of pride in what we do so it's disheartening to hear that we fell short. I can assure you that your experience is not reflective of our standards and values. I have taken the time to look into the matter and investigate what may have gone awry with your group, and it appears as if we realized your party size had changed a bit too late. I apologize that we did not realize in time that your last two members were not joining your group, and I have addressed with the server that evening that they should continue to check in with tables as normal, despite party size. Thank you again for taking the time to let us know and we sincerely hope to see you again in the near future.
