Lidia's is an outstanding Italian restaurant! From the bread to the dessert, everything was amazing. Plus, it was our anniversary and the server went out of our way to make it special. One of our favorites!

The food and the ambience at Lidias were outstanding, as they always are. The highlight of our evening, however, was our fabulous server, Matthew Edwards. He was the best in every way: helpful, respectful, clever, sassy and endearing. Don’t let him get away!

I love Lidia's and when I'm in Pittsburgh or KC I come here as I'm a pastaholic! Fresh pasta daily with interesting new sauces and/or fillings. LOVE IT. Can't beat getting fresh homemade pasta at a low cost ..... and as much as you can eat!

Absolutely fantastic meal. Daily pastas were incredibly fresh and flavorful, and the osso buco was divine. The service was on point, and our server Stephen was beyond accommodating and excellent.

Superb Sangiovese, the waiter made excellent recommendations, and the food was phenominal. We had the pollo al limone and brasato. Both were out of this world. The overall dining experience was top notch

Amazing food and service for the price. The wife and I had our 6 year anniversary dinner there. When we ordered our desserts they put a "Happy Anniversary" tooth pick in it to congratulate us. The tiramisu cake and affagado were both delicious options for dessert.
