    We are stilling talking about it— it was that good from the opening fried calamari to the Tiramisu dessert and everything in between. My guests just texted saying one had just reheated yesterday’s doggie-bagged half of her enormous, perfectly cooked Chef Geoff Angus hamburger. Beef is a rarely self-permitted treat; but, as they said when they allow themselves it has to be at Lia’s from here out. The opening drinks were a martini and a dry white house wine. A diplomat who had lived all over the world, he noted the only place he’d had a martini that good (quality and strong) was in Hong Kong. The house white was not only a bargain but excellent. The beautifully presented seasonal salad entree was crisp, colorful and clearly specially sourced. Wait to you get your first glimpse of the Tiramisu- clearly defined multiple layers and huge. The table became quiet but for intermittent sounds of sheer enjoyment. The service was professional, quick and yet warm and friendly as you’d expect from a neighborhood gem. I actually carefully went over the bill it was so reasonable thinking they have left things out. Not usually this effusive— this review is so good I almost feel I must say I have no financial interest in the enterprise and no one in my family works there. It was that good! Enjoy.

    Fabulous foods, Fabulous staff--Wonderful vibe. What is especially appreciated was no loud music which seems unavoidable in every DC restaurant no matter the type or demographic. Love this restaurant and I ma so lucy to live near it.

    Dear Amy, we are also so lucky you live near us! Thank you so much for your wonderful and kind words, we really appreciate it. Since you were here this past Tuesday, we had a little less space than usual because we were packing up our to-go Thanksgiving dinners in one of the dining spaces - we had nearly 90 guests order it this year! Under normal circumstances, we are more likely to have a slightly quieter location for our guests. We look forward to your next visit!

    We had our Thanksgiving dinner at Lia’s. Al of the staff went out of their way to be pleasant and friendly. We sat in the bar and Britney was our server. She was great! The food was delicious, as usual.

    We are frequent patrons of Lia's and have been going there on Thanksgiving for many years, including during the pandemic when we did the carryout meal. Obviously we are pleased or we would not keep returning. While we have had the roasted turkey meal, we especially appreciate that the menu includes options for the main course. Our server, Carlos, was excellent as were those assisting him.

    I discovered Lia's this year and it has become my go-to place. Good food, good service, nice ambiance (although last night it was filled to capacity and it was a little too loud, next time I will ask for a back table). I love the place!

    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.
