Very impressed by this restaurant.
My friend and I took a chance coming here since there are never reservations available. Luckily, they had two seats open for the night in their cafe area. Little bit of a wait, but when it was time to eat, we went all the way in. The focaccia was hands down incredible. Warm, flavorful, and perfect texture with every bite. Next we tried 3 pasta dishes. The Sheep's Milk Cheese Agnolotti melts in your mouth, by far the best of the dishes for the night. Rigatoni Diavola was a classic and the Ziti Genovese was so so good. We wanted to try more, but we were stuffed. The service was great with a friendly staff. Would highly recommend. For sure coming back!

If you like peppery pasta, then you may like the mafaldini with peppercorn. I thought it was okay. The sheep's milk cheese filled agnolotti on the other hand was delicious! It had saffron on top and the sauce paired well with the cheese. I was very happy with this dish and would come back to have it again. I made a reservation for 4:15pm for 1 and was seated at the bar very close in between people. I would opt for finding a second person to come with next time and aim for non-bar seating.

If you are anti Israeli war crimes, anti genocide, or just anti overpriced italian food cooked by a zionist - do not eat at this place. Their founders are donors to israel and issued a bs statement that "nobody deserves to feel unsafe" - of course they would never care about Palestinians as they struggle to survive an "unsafe" genocide everyday with 30,000 dead. BOYCOTT.

Best Italian food I've ever had! Sheep's milk agnolotti, beet casunziei and focaccia are definitely a must! Can't wait to come back!
Be the first to ReplyI dedicate this review to the man in front of us who tried
I dedicate this review to the man in front of us who tried to snag a walk-in table and was promptly told to come back at 9:40pm. In my opinion, Lilia is truly worth the hype (just depends on what you like and what you get). The sheep's milk agnoletti is one of the top five pasta dishes I've had in the city. If you love pouches of greatness that come in the form of filled pasta shapes, this is your go-to order. The after taste of honey made me a happy girl. The mafaldine was also spectacular and well worth it. Go for the lemon granita dessert if you want a light palate cleaner (this wouldn't be my first choice dessert, but the soft serve/gelato machine was broken and will continue to be out-of-service for the next few weeks, as of the time of this review). One of my favorite parts of this dining experience was getting to walk past the open kitchen, where a well-oiled machine of chefs are cutting out pasta shapes, stirring sauces, and making magic happen. I wasn't huge on the fried cacio e pepe balls. Maybe it's just me, but I found it to taste vaguely reminiscent of the Trader Joe's mac and cheese balls...but the latter have a more exciting texture/richer flavor...

We were very lucky to get seating at this very popular Italian restaurant. Food was AMAZING! There were no dishes that I didn't like or disappointed, this particular pasta "agnolotti" was beyond this world!! Service was impeccable, we'll definitely be back! (That's if we get lucky to get seating again. Lol)-

Yes: it's as good as everyone says! Went here for a special occasion and felt a higher level of detail to service versus a lot of other places. Loved the dishes and attention that Lilia provided!
Be the first to ReplyTLDR: If you can get into Lilia do it! Lilia has been on my
TLDR: If you can get into Lilia do it! Lilia has been on my New York wish list for 6-7 years. I looked at Resy on a Monday morning and sure enough, there was a 4:15 bar reservation for 2 available. My friend who I was visiting said sure, let's do it! We can be in Brooklyn early. Well we got a spot right across from it and walked in right at 4pm. We luckily got a table instead of bar seating. Our server was great. Extremely knowledgeable about the menu. I'll go through everything we ate. Cacio e Pepe Fritelle: it was like a cheesy popover that got tossed in the fryer and rolled in pecorino cheese. It was light and airy considering. Housemade Mozzarella, Toasted Garlic Bread, Lemon, Bottarga: it was my favorite of the three starters we had. The garlicky bread and creamy cheese are great on their own but they are complemented so perfectly by the acidic pop of lemon, the umami of the bottarga, and the most perfectly placed flakes of Maldon salt. It sounds so simple but it isn't. It's so good. The third starter we had was the Grilled Artichoke, Garlic, Orange, Parmigiano, Breadcrumbs: again this was done perfectly and the meat of the artichoke was flavorful and tender. Obviously you're here for the pasta so we went with the Mafaldini, Pink Peppercorn, Parmigiano and the Sheep's Milk Cheese Agnolotti, Saffron, Dried Tomato, Honey. Where do I even begin? The mafaldini noodles were perfectly ruffled and cooked so they still had a nice chew. The pink peppercorns have a fruity flavor that was addictive and nice with the creamy cheese. I was expecting the mafaldini to be the standout but for me it was the agnolotti. The dough was impossibly thin. The sheep's milk cheese was light and creamy and the punch of the dried tomato and the sweetness of the honey was just delicious. I would order this again and again. My dinner date gets to go back in a few weeks for another dinner. I'm so jealous. I'll be in Missouri dreaming about the pasta and this great meal I had at an impossible to get into restaurant in Brooklyn that most New Yorkers have not been to!

Went to Lilia for my birthday dinner and had an amazing time. The ambiance was great, dimly lit, very classy but cool vibes. I would definitely return for the agnolotti, and would recommend it to others looking for a nice night out! We had the following dishes- Appetizers: (all so good, would recommend all) -roasted squash- 8/10, on the oily side but very delicious -cabbage- 8/10, some ppl in my group liked this the best -focaccia- 9/10, can't complain, super soft bread with a delicious green butter, we literally finished all of the butter Pastas: Sheep milk cheese agnolotti- 10/10- MUST ORDER, still dreaming about this, so so good, mildly flavored but the cheese, honey, and pieces of tomatoes work so well together, this was everyone's favorite pasta Gnocchi pesto- 8/10, very very delicious Rigatoni- with red sauce. 5/10, forgettable and would skip this Papparadelle with veal bolognese (seasonal): also 5/10 and pretty bland, would skip this Dessert- olive oil cake and Apple pastry dessert were also delicious!
Be the first to ReplyI went to Lilia about a month ago with one of my friends.
We were staying in Brooklyn and were very curious to try Lilia, given the hype and how difficult it is to make a reservation. Unable to make a reservation, we decided to try getting there ahead of time and waiting before the restaurant opened at 3:50. Despite it being extremely cold that day, there was already a line forming as we got there. Luckily for us, we were able to get seats at the bar. Since there was only the two of us, we couldn't order everything we wanted to and had to choose wisely. We ended up ordering the Cacio e Pepe Frittelle, mozzarella toast, mafaldini, agnolotti, and for dessert, the chocolate torta and apple crostada. I would probably skip the mozzarella toast- it was good, but not outstanding and worth the price or stomach room (ha!). The fritelle were delicious, very rich and heavy, a bit too salty for my taste. The pastas were the star of the show. They were cooked perfectly and had unique tastes I haven't come across in traditional Italian restaurants. The desserts were amazing! The chocolate torta with espresso mousse was so tasty and the crostada was also very delicious. Truthfully, I'm not sure I would wait outside in the freezing cold to eat an early dinner here again- but I definitely want to come back and try more of the items on their menu!
Be the first to ReplyI am not sure if it was the infatuation or all the reviews
I am not sure if it was the infatuation or all the reviews that got me so hyped up for this dinner. Sadly it was very over hyped and not worth the round trip uber ride. The snap peas were my favorite dish and the gelato was my second most memorable delight. All the other dishes didn't give me what I was expecting. I wouldn't recommend the shrimp as they were messy, hard to eat and not too appetizing. The vibe of the place was great but I really wished they weren't trying to be so cool, just order the Aperol.
Be the first to ReplySolid Italian spot in Williamsburg with hard to snag
Solid Italian spot in Williamsburg with hard to snag reservations in a vibey lofty space.FoodGem Salad - Crunchy, fresh, and acidic with a great aged hard cheese. Loved the crunchy breadcrumbs and would recommend for sharing between two people.Mussels - I have to say, the sauce was a bit too bright green for my liking? It was giving grasshopper vibes and definitely visually was not what I was expecting to come out. However, the taste was great. Buttery, plump, and came right out of the shell. Also great for sharing between 2 people.Mafaldini - An aesthetic take on cacio e pepe by using pink peppercorns. Really good, perfect al dente and textured pasta. The pepper was a bit on the heavy side, though. Not even in a spicy way, but more that I wanted to taste more of the milky cheese taste in the dish instead of it being overpowered by pepper. Sheeps Milk Cheese Filled Agnolotti - Tender and delicious! Definitely a fave and I think one of their most popular pastas. You'll want to bring the lactaid for this one because it is very rich. Italian Job - Some of the best gelato I have ever had. This one was a vanilla gelato base with olive oil, honey, and crunchy fenugreek/pollen. The olive oil was extremely rich and flavorful and the perfect contrast to the sweet. The honey solidifies and also provides some crunch. A must order!!I would say for two people, this was the right amount of food including sharing a dessert!Service- Everyone on staff was very kind and attentive, but I think the restaurant was just extremely busy. Our table was 20 minutes behind our reservation because the couple before us was eating slowly. My waiter also forgot about a drink I ordered.AmbianceWe went at night, and it's got the dim lighting and romantic vibe with candles. High and lofty ceilings. The seats are pretty close together though, so be prepared to be able to hear conversations next to you. There's also a cafe/wine bar in the back that has more casual vibes, but I don't think you can order food there during dinner service. It's more a place to wait while you are waiting for your table to open up. Would definitely recommend -- great date night spot. Make sure to get a reservation!
Be the first to ReplyI saw a reservation at Lilia and jumped to take it.
I have previously been to Misi and Fini but had yet to try Lilia. If you go you must get the focaccia. I was hesitant to get it, as it is on menus of so many NYC Italian restaurants. But this focaccia was different. It was warm and fluffy but so crunchy at the same time. The spring onion butter complimented it perfectly.We tried the Radicchio salad as well, which I would skip next time, good but nothing special. Our mains were the black bass and agnolotti. The bass was good but again, nothing out of the ordinary. I love the agnolotti. It was salty and sweet and savory and melted in your mouth. I thought Lilia was great, but for the bread/pasta. We ended with the gelato dessert finished with olive oil and salt. I loved the herbaceous, peppery olive oil paired with the cold, sweet gelato. In all, for me, the vegetable and pasta forward menu at Misi was preferable.
Be the first to ReplyExcellent food, service and ambiance.
Absolutely a must if in NYC, try almost everything on the menu its worth it!

This is a cute little restaurant in Brooklyn! The food was great and came out very quickly. Definitely very hard to get a reservation but is totally worth it. The restaurant was not overcrowded or tight for space which was incredible and unlike other very popular restaurants. I would definitely go back here!

I don't normally like to leave bad reviews but our experience at Lilia yesterday really left a bad taste.At the outset, our server apologized about the building being cold and drafty and offered us complimentary hot lemon water. We didn't mind that at all as we were looking forward to the food and went on to order 5 dishes for 2 people based on their suggestion. The leek focaccia with garlic butter was very tasty and that got us excited for the anti pasti and main courses but what followed was a complete letdown:The grilled prawns had a spicy Cajun flavor that seemed at odds with the bread we just had. The mafaldini was dry, salty and very undercooked (not al dente). It was like chewing on rubber. The rigatoni sauce was bland and felt like tomato purée with no seasoning. The agnolotti looked heavy but was surprisingly light and flavorful. The sheep's milk cheese inside was delicious and unexpected. We couldn't finish a single pasta we ordered in spite of having walked in with a large appetite primarily because the first few dishes were so disappointing.I understand that all restaurants have good and bad days so I wouldn't have bothered writing this review but that night my husband also complained of a really bad stomach ache which I can't help but attribute to the food we ate - the prawns I believe, since I barely ate those.P.S. great service though.
Be the first to ReplyThe kitchen staff is obviously very technically skilled,
The kitchen staff is obviously very technically skilled, however the 3 pasta dishes we ordered (agnolotti, mafaldini, and rigatoni) were completely lacking in flavor. At this price point, I expect the food to taste good.
Be the first to ReplyReally cool place, great service, great experience.
Our waiter was fantastic. Some hits and some misses with food, but overall definitely worth a visit. Cacio e Pepe fritelle - they're delicious but super heavy. Can't go wrong with a fried cheese ball. Probably better for a big group or if you're looking to get full off of only a few dishesItalian broccoli - I typically like bitter but this was a miss for me. Not much flavor other than cheese Mussels - phenomenal, prepared very well, great sauce (though a bit too heavy on the butter)Mafaldini - favorite dish of the night, the pink peppercorn is unusual but works well Sheep's milk cheese agnolotti - this is going to be unpopular, but I wasn't a fan. The way the flavors came together just didn't really work for me. The sweetness of the cheese is a little too overpoweringGelato - not my favorite gelato I've had, I'd try the chocolate or the Italian job if I went back Be prepared for LOTS of butter & cheese!!

What in the world -- this place has all the good reviews of the world but it's not good ya'll. It's bland - I have been all over Italy and had food that was stunning .. this ain't it. What the hell was it that I ate . Bland pasta with a bland sauce -bland pasta with bland cheese .. child please -- that's not good. Even the wine wasn't so great. I have travelled alll over Italy. I know good Italian food and that ain't it
Be the first to ReplyFirst off, love the ambiance!! It's perfect for a date
First off, love the ambiance!! It's perfect for a date night or catch up with a friend you haven't seen in a long time. The service was also great, our waitress was super helpful in recommending which dishes to try. We also had a lovely red wine recommended to us that we both really loved!On to the food, so we started with the roasted squash. That was so unique, great crispy texture and the pesto on top really brought it all together. We shared the rigatoni, mafaldini, and agnolotti pastas. We really loved the rigatoni, it had a bit of a kick to it which was nice. The mafaldini was okay, too pepper-y for our tastes and just dry. And the agnolotti was probably my favorite pasta, it was so good!! We also shared the sea bass and you shouldn't skip it. It was perfectly cooked and just incredible.
Be the first to ReplyI really wish that I could give 5 stars, but how do you run
I really wish that I could give 5 stars, but how do you run out of the agnolotti? Everything we ate was truly amazing. We ordered the focaccia, mussels, grilled artichokes, cacio e pepe balls, malfadini, spaghetti limon and the leg of lamb steak. Everything was really good. All I would change in the agnolotti instead of the spaghetti limon.
Be the first to ReplyAmazing service and food! We were fortunate to snag a last
Amazing service and food! We were fortunate to snag a last minute resy with our cousins. Everything we ordered was great - we ordered 2 apps, 5 pastas and 2 desserts to share amongst 4 people. Our favorites were the Whole Artichoke and Roasted Squash appetizer. For pastas, we loved the Broccoli Pesto Gnocchi, Sheep's Milk Agnolotti, Rigatoni Diavola, and of course the Pink Peppercorn Mafaldini. The Olive Oil Cake was good like L'Artusi, but the Apple Crisp was out of this world - famous perfect amount of sweetness and the crust was delicious.

The. Best. Food. Literally compares to the food I've eaten in Italy. Definitely more on the special occasion ranking since it's hard to get a table and on the pricy side, but SO worth it, hands down my favorite restaurant in Brooklyn. The atmosphere is quiet and romantic, great for a date. And the service is great, they offer wine tasting prior to ordering a glass and are great with clearing the table and resetting utensils before the next course. If you go, MUST order the malfaldini, clams, and get TWO of the garlic bread (before they sell out for the night)!!!
Be the first to ReplyIf you have some extra extra money to spend it's worth
If you have some extra extra money to spend it's worth coming to once. The service is really top tier in our experience. They course the meals, you take your time, it's a really a lovely time and you will spend a minimum of two hours here (depending on how much you order). Everything is typically made to share. There flavors are very unique. I would absolutely PASS on the Agnolotti. I think you have to be a cheese enthusiast to really like the flavor of sheep's milk cheese. That was a no for us. I couldn't eat it. The Malfidini was good, def a unique flavor you wouldn't typically get for pasta. Grilled prawns a YES, Mussels a YES. We ordered the olive oil cake for dessert, SO GOOD. And we ordered a dessert I can't remember the name of but it was a gelato with bee pollen. The bee pollen is a distinct flavor so I'll leave it up to your discretion to try!
Be the first to ReplyFirst visit to Lilia, and I'm already dreaming about when I
First visit to Lilia, and I'm already dreaming about when I can go back again. My friend scored a 4:45 reservation mid-week for the patio. It was surprisingly breezy and comfortable during the heat wave, with plenty of shade from nearby umbrellas. We were a group of three who love to eat, so we decided to go family style with our ordering so we could try as much as possible. My one friend has fined her often (lucky!) so we followed some of her recommendations. Do NOT miss out on the homemade mozzarella on garlic bread with lemon. We ended up getting two, which was an excellent choice. The Italian Broccoli with parmigiano, chili oil and lemon was bright and tasty with a nice little kick. For pastas, we went with the mafaldini, agnolotti, and a corn filled cappelletti...you must get that last one...the sweetness of the corn and the pairing of the sauce were absolutely divine. Finished out our meal with the Italian Job (vanilla gelato + olive oil...the pairing I didn't know I needed in my life) and the olive oil cake. Our server was incredibly attentive and let us take our time to savor every morsel. I definitely want to try some of their wines next time, and was very happy with their Aperol Spritz!
