    Nice sized restaurant with many options as far as pizza go. Popped in for a cheese slice while my wife shopped next door. Staff very friendly but the slice I had was just average. Nothing stood out to brag or complain about just an average slice in the land of above average pizza.

    Spinach artichoke pizza with garlic knot crust
    Meri L.

    After wanting to try this place for quite some time...I was a bit disappointed. Months and months of seeing delicious pizzas on social media...didn't live up to the hype. My mom decided to pick up two slices of the spinach artichoke pizza with garlic knot crust. It looked delicious, but that's where it ended. Both slices where very undercooked, I had to put them in my toaster oven at home to cook it more. It was very underwhelming. It was also a bit soggy, but that could be due to the toppings on top. It absolutely needed more time in the oven to cook. My mom also got me tortilini soup, as it's a favorite of mine. Again, very underwhelming. However, the tortilinis were big. It was more so the broth that tasted off. Didn't really live up to the hype.

    Rice Ball
    Patrick W.

    I was in the area again and although I do like their pasta, I came for reason and one reason alone. The effin' rice balls. I challenge someone to find me a better rice ball. I have friends who will take the drive out here just for this. It's perfectly crispy, the right density, just enough meat and cheese in the middle. Get that side of marinara, cut your pieces, dip them and eat. It's just.. sigh - those little wins in life. If you find yourself around here at a wedding in Fox Hollow, going to Ikea in Hicksville or something.. take the detour. It'll be worth it.

    Lia's pizzeria is a cute classic spot for my friends and I to eat whenever we come back to our hometown. Amazing pizza and good prices (especially when you found some coupons for the local spots in town in the mail!) This pizza is authentic and offers a ton of flavors - from your classic cheese pizza, pepperoni, spinach, margherita, grandma slice, salad pizza (which I've really enjoyed!)... etc. The garlic knots are always a great choice. Booths and ample seating for a nice casual catch up meal with friends or family!

    Love Italian food. Love this restaurant…read more We went out for an evening dinner and one of us being in the mood for Italian, we gave this place a shout. Excellent call. It's a white tablecloth restaurant that serves some of the best Italian food I've had. And I've had a lot. The dinner starts with some terrific rolls and oil. Had to ask for some ground pepper and cheese, which they quickly oblige. The arugula salad may be the best arugula salad I have ever had. Large, fresh, the roasted portobello mushrooms and roasted peppers were outstanding, the goat cheese and balsamic dressing were just perfect. I had the eggplant Parmesan. I may have had better, but this one is right up there. The portion size was large, the sauce was outstanding, and I chose the angel hair pasta as my side, and that too was terrific. Exquisite evening definitely would go back there again.

So, I was excited to see this legendary brand open an Italian a restaurant. These are my thoughts........ When you walk in you're greeted by impeccably dressed and friendly staff and a beautify thought out restaurant. Check! First, I ordered the calamari with a side of both marinara and fra diavalo sauce. This was where my expectations started slipping. The breading was absolutely bland and added nothing special. The plain marinara you could get from a jar sauce. The fra diavalo sauce was pretty much the marinara with Tabasco stirred in to it. It's not that any of it was horrible, it was just boring. Then what was ordered for dinner was a plate of Penne ala Vodka and a Pizza Margherita. They both had nothing exceptional about them and truthfully were bland and unremarkable. This is a place that you bring people who don't know anything about good Italians food and just want basic flavor. Truthfully, the corner pizzeria has better flavor. I wouldn't drive just to go there again. Come on guys, step up your game!

On March 29th, we hosted my grandmother's 85th birthday here with about 30 people. This wasn't some last-minute reservation--we planned everything months in advance directly with Sal. From the very beginning, we made it clear that the entire reason we chose this restaurant was for their private room. My grandmother had attended another party there and loved that space--it's private, has its own bathroom, and was perfect since we had a lot of kids attending. Sal explicitly told us there was no minimum or maximum for the room and guaranteed it to us. Based on that promise, we booked the party. As the date got closer, we even upgraded the package--paying extra per person for an additional course. Only then did Sal casually slip in that we would NOT be getting the private room. So if we hadn't called to add that upgrade, we likely wouldn't have found out until the day of the event. When we questioned him, he suddenly claimed there was a "minimum" requirement of people to secure the room--something he NEVER mentioned before. Then he tried to say there was a contract stating we weren't guaranteed the room... except we were never given any contract. No paperwork. No receipt for our deposit. Nothing. Completely unprofessional and shady. A few days later, when my dad followed up, Sal finally admitted the truth: another, larger party booked the room. Fine--we understand businesses prioritize money. But don't LIE and promise something you can't deliver. Don't book us under false pretenses and then backtrack with excuses and made-up policies. We were then told we'd get the corner, semi-private part of the restaurant space with three tables. That didn't happen either. Instead, we were crammed into the front, basically in the middle of the restaurant. It was chaotic, loud, and completely inappropriate for a large family gathering--especially with young kids running around and my 85-year-old grandmother struggling just to get to the bathroom. To make matters worse, when we calmly expressed our disappointment afterward, Sal didn't even have the decency to have a conversation. He literally put his hand up and said, "I'm done with this conversation," and walked away, leaving his waiter to handle it--despite the fact that he was the one who mishandled everything. The lack of accountability, professionalism, and basic respect was unbelievable. We felt completely taken advantage of and misled from start to finish. This was supposed to be a special milestone celebration, and instead it turned into a stressful and upsetting experience for our entire family. We will absolutely NEVER be coming back, and I strongly advise anyone considering booking an event here to think twice. If they can do this to a party planned months in advance, they can do it to anyone.
