    Outstanding food was creatively presented. Enjoyed everything and the highlights were the beignets, squid ink radiatori and branzino. Deserts are all fantastic and the wine selection is top notch. Will be back!

    We had the Wednesday night prix fixe menu. All was superb including our Market Manhattans w the warm rosemary focaccia! We had the following: crispy duck confit and shrimp toast for starters; bucatini alla gricia and the porcini-rubbed hanger steak cooked to a perfect med-rare; for dessert the chocolate entremet cake and pistachio cake! It was the perfect birthday celebration. Service and food and cocktails were all spot on and amazing!

    We love La Fia . Chef Dwain is amazing. We’ve followed him for years. Our server was the bartender, Diego. He was knowledgeable, with helpful suggestions and the perfect amount of attention.

    Another incredible meal at La Fia. We shared the savory brioche beignets, which have an incredible flavor profile with the herbed cream and the rhubarb jam, and the shrimp toast, a regular favorite for me, but new to my guests and fun for them to encounter for the first time, because it is such an amazing array of flavors and textures, for appetizers. Then two of us got the English pea agnolotti, which was excellent--great depth of flavors, springy with the peas, delicious--and one got the Wagyu steak special, which was truly exceptional. Probably the best steak I've ever had, so beautifully seasoned and cooked. Absolutely worth it. Great drinks as well, of course, and phenomenal service, as always!

    La Fia is our favorite place to dine in Wilmington. The limited number of tables along with the excellent service and menu are superb. The server suggested a greek wine that we were unfamilar with that was absolutely awesome. It paired wonderfully with the Crystal Valley Chicken. We will frequently dine here and recommend others do as well.

    We all had the Prix Fix option and we all loved our choices. Especially the gnocchi, so pillow tender! And the chocolate desert. Wow!
