Lilia

Extremely difficult to get a reservation but worth the hype. The three of us got nine dishes to share along with two drinks per person. The total came out to be around $400 including tip. My two favorite dishes: 🧡 Grilled Cabbage, Crispy Shallot, Caraway, Brown Butter 🧡 Sheeps Milk Cheese Filled Agnolotti My least favorite: ☹️ Milano Sour Cocktail ☹️ Grilled Clams with Bread Crumbs

After a beautiful day exploring Williamsburg, we stopped in to Lilia without reservations but our fingers crossed tightly, hoping for the best. We waited a quick 45 minutes & were then guided to our seats at the bar. Red wine was of course our pick paired deliciously with the pasta dishes. Dessert was an olive oil cake & cappuccino. Delicious & fresh pasta is always a good time

took the cake for best italian food i've had in the city without a doubt. the mafaldini and the agnolotti are must-try's and the italian job gelato was to die for. i have genuinely never had a dessert so delicious and unique in my life, lilia's really got me looking up where to find fennel pollen just to try recreating this bite of heaven. focaccia was a great starter too, all around amazing meal. vibes were so nice, the outdoor seating was really nicely done. our waiter gave great recommendations. 10/10 would most certainly go again

Came here for a birthday dinner for inside dining and the service and ambiance were spectacular. We ordered the agnolotti, gnocchi, and lamb steak. The agnolotti is a must get. The pesto gnocchi was the best pesto I’ve ever had as well, but gnocchi was slightly over cooked. The lamb steak was a surprise! It was cooked perfectly and I did not expect it to be be that delicious. The fennel and spices were overwhelming at times, but all you had to do was scrape it off! This is the best Italian restaurant I’ve been to in NYC, and would definitely recommend this to friends. 4.7/5.

I had a delicious meal at Lilia. I did not have a reservation and had to wait about 30-45 minutes for a table at the bar. The bar is reserved for walk ins. While I waited I got a cocktail in the back where they have a coffee bar. If you want, you can also order apps while you have a drink in that area. I also ordered the baked clams which were delicious. This isn’t necessarily my favorite place but they do have a few great signature items and have a delicious wine selection with a yummy cocktail menu.

I came here on a Friday night for dinner with two friends. I honestly had never heard of this restaurant, but apparently it’s extremely popular. We sat outside, which I’m not really a fan of; would love to try this place again indoors. We got a bunch of dishes to share: the prawns, grilled clams, mafaldani, agnolotti, ravioli, little gem lettuce salad, whole artichoke, olive oil cake and the gelato. All of the pastas were superb; perfectly cooked and the sauces they came with were perfectly balanced. The portions were also decent; I feel like most nice Italian restaurants don’t provide healthy portions for the price, and I can’t say Lilia is drastically different, but you won’t leave hungry. For the antipasti, I wasn’t a big fan of the artichoke or the grilled clams. There wasn’t a ton of flavor there and with the artichoke, it just seemed like I was eating a ton of sauce and cheese. The rest of the antipasti was fantastic, though. I thought the deserts we ordered were just OK; definitely could have skipped them. Overall, I think this is a solid restaurant and I would love to come back again.
