Last weekend I texted a friend and asked if she and her hubby wanted to joint me and my hubby.....she responded YES!!!! Oh, my. Why don't I make time every time I visit Missoula? The food is amazing! They've added onto the building probably 3-4 times over the year reflecting how popular they are. The ambiance is a bit like going to Grandma's house. It's not super upscale....but comfy and homey. Plenty of parking and some outdoor seating for summer. They are open Fri/Sat...Sun? You pick from the list of maybe 4 appetizers, 6+ entrees....having a sample of wine while you "shop". Before you are seated you have a chance to view the 5 different homemade breads you may order with dinner, and the 5 or so homemade desserts. Once you are seated....you order what you want. Of course, we always order too much. The portions are BIG. We had a nice bottle of wine (they also have beer), an AMAZING pumpkin ravioli, sampled 2 of the breads (garlic knots and sun dried tomato bread), dinner comes with salad....then came the HUGE entree. I had the Misto Mare (this included calamari, clams, shrimp, with a choice of sauce and pasta...I had clam sauce and fettuccine). It was delicious! They had these tasty fried squash blossoms on the side of the plate...yummy. This is a family-run business. I remember when the children used to serve us water and bring our silverware. It's still family... so they are not open all winter as they travel to the south. Call to find out days/times they are open....be prepared to eat a lot....and to be blown away by the food! Thank you for not disappointing after being away for so many years!

My filet mignon with mushrooms was tasty but on the tough side, and bizarrely, the mushrooms were dry. The soup was delicious (CHEF: Ease up on the added pepper!!) and the poppy seed salad dressing was terrific. The restaurant was quiet when we arrived, around 5:15 on a Wednesday. There were only two available tables when we left, around 6:45. Reservations are available and probably a really smart idea on a weekend.

Father's Day fiasco…read more Reservation for 6 people at 5:00 PM. We were seated promptly, given water, and provided with only 3 menus for the table. The wrong beer was served five times. As well as beers delivered to our table that we did not order. Our ticket was apparently lost in the rush, resulting in over an hour wait for food. When it finally arrived, most of it was cold. The waitress did her best throughout the experience and even called the owner to request a discount due to the poor service. Unfortunately, the manager never visited our table. We received about $40 off the bill, one round of drinks was comped, and we were given free dessert (which appeared to be an extra scoop of ice cream worth about a dollar). Overall, the steak was good, but the sides were cold. The paella should be removed from the menu and replaced with Rice-A-Roni and shrimp. That's not an exaggeration--Zatarain's boxed jambalaya would have been a significant upgrade. I won't ever return and won't recommend it to anyone visiting. Pretty lenient given I worked in the service industry for 4 years but it was really rough.

The lobster ravioli is wonderful and makes me miss New England and Italy all at once. The Filet Mignon was tender, fresh and made excellent leftovers for later. I'm a sucker for a caprese salad and theirs really hits the spot. Also, the Buratta on Focaccia was fabulous. I dated someone in France many years ago and we travelled to Italy several times. Eating here really takes me back to some lovely memories during that time. Sonia is a powerhouse and has, in my humble opinion, the best Italian food around. I've also enjoyed the Gnocchi with Pesto and Focaccia. Honestly, with this menu, you can't go wrong. Thank you!

I would like to say that the service was excellent, and the quantity of food was more than adequate .. We were passing through and were recommended to try Lydia's by someone who has been going there all of their life. My complaint is what I paid and what I got. DO NOT order anything off the menu that says "market price" unless you ask. That was my mistake. When we got the bill my steak and lobster was $162. I have never paid that much money for a steak and lobster dinner anywhere in the United States.The steaks on the menu ranged from $40-$50 based on the one I got. It had no flavor/seasoning. I guess I thought if you order a steak in Montana it would taste good. That means that the lobster was $110.. it did not even taste like lobster even with the drawn butter they provided. I had to ask my wife what she thought, same response. The best thing with my dinner was the french fries. At least they were consistent. and tasted like french fries My server was more than apologetic and went to the manager and they did give me a 10% discount on the total . That helped but again was not worth it even with the discount I guess I expected a lot and did not get what received. My ordered something different and was happy with her dinner.
