   Nice decor in a cute bistro right on Market Street. Very friendly, unhurried service. Nice bar service and very tasty, well presented and interesting food.

   This was my second time in the space of two or three months. The Wednesday fixed price menu is such a phenomenal value; that's why it's so crowded. The wait staff is so friendly and professional, but they seemed a little bit over-worked. Maybe they need more servers or fewer covers on Wednesday nights? I'll certainly come back. There are all kinds of reasons why La Fia is considered to be one of Delaware's best restaurants. The main thing is the food, and the food is exquisite.

   I'm a huge fan of this restaurant. But the host and management need to better plan seating and layout of the restaurant. In an empty restaurant (initially) the host insisted on seating the two of us next to the only other occupied table immediately adjacent! Just ridiculous. It ruined the atmosphere for my guest. Our server was excellent - as always - but her colleague misfired badly when we asked her for help on changing a drink order - we actually got a bucket-load of attitude which was really unfortunate. The kitchen remains excellent but overall, the restaurant needs to up its (management) game.

   We had a 730 reservation but were not seated until 8. The hostess was very disengaged. Rather than being apologetic, I definitely got some attitude from a server at the hostess area when I followed up on the status of our table. I followed up on the reservation note I made about celebrating a wedding but was cutoff. While waiting, my husband asked the bartender about a beer and she said she had no idea because she doesn’t drink beer. They did give us a free appetizer but for the price, it was a disappointing experience. $300 for four people and after we were seated the service was slow and not great. One dish was exceptional but the others were just OK. It will be a while before I return.

   The food was fantastic! We had the oxtail pasta, the shrimp pasta, and we split the gnocchi. Each dish had layers of flavor and was amazing! The drinks were also excellent. This is the perfect place for a date night or special occasion!

    The meal was excellent. Dishes were flavorful and beautifully plated. Grilled octopus and yellowfin tuna starters were delicious. The side dish of roasted brussel sprouts was a dish I would return for alone! Diego was a great server and very knowledgeable about the menu. Every staff member that brought a dish to the table also inquired whether there was anything else that we needed. Exceptional service!!

    From the craft cocktails to dessert, our dinner was perfection. Crispy confit of duck with a tiny crackle of pomegranate seed to start, delectable buttery cod, robust rigatoni and oxtail, and delicious desserts. The service was perfection with a smile. We can’t wait to return!

    The melon & cucumber salad was as beautifully composed with herbs and a flower, but definitely not too pretty to eat. It was delicious as were the roasted asparagus. The gnocchi was one of the most innovative and delicious dishes I've ever had. And the chef-made blackberry sorbet truly out of this world! Everything at our table was delicious. Love the vibe, a unique blend of bistro, bakery, hip city bar. A special place with exceptional food.

    La Fia is a small cute Italian restaurant located on a cute corner of market street. I love the quaint idea of this place. The decor has lots of dried flowers and live Vining plants. The service was good but I was disappointed that there were no specials. I look forward to things outside of the menu that are only there a limited time. Table bread was served which is always appreciated but the butter didn't taste like anything so it was kind of disappointing. I got a side of Brussels and they were delicious! Not greasy but the perfect amount of crisp paired with cranberries and toasted nuts. The portion was huge for $8! The entrées were interesting. The herb crusted cod was cooked phenomenally and had a mustard Spoetzl and leek purée. This was the perfect pairing and was absolutely delicious! The ricotta tortellini was offered in a half or full portion. Although it was tasty I was surprised that the full portion only had 10 small tortellinis. The cod portion was huge compared to the tiny pasta portion. A bit odd if you ask me! Overall a good but not great experience. The table bread needs to be stepped up a notch and the entrées either need to be repriced or portions need to be adjusted!

    Wonderful experience! We had excellent service and delicious food. This was our second time here and we are definitely going back. All the food was AMAZING. I had the German style cod and my significant other had the spicy shrimp pasta dish (forgot the name), and we were both very happy. We also had the grilled apricot salad, which went perfectly with the toasty bread. We highly, highly recommend this restaurant.

    La Fia has become a favorite of my husband and mine, and now my parents as well. We stumbled onto the Wednesday Prix-fixe menu, 3 courses for $35 (drinks not included). I am usually a very meat & potatoes kind of eater, but La Fia is so wonderful that I've been inspired to try new things--mustard greens? Roasted kale? Not in my universe. But La Fia's wonderful food creations inspired trust in me to move beyond my comfort zone, and the new forays weren't just good, they were a delight. Service was friendly, didn't feel rushed, but didn't feel forgotten, either. One last comment: both my parents said that the specialty Manhattan on the cocktail list is the best either has ever had.

    As always, the food was superb—everything so thoughtful and intentional and perfectly prepared. The servers and bartender are always fantastic, among the most attentive (in the right way) of anywhere I've been. We went for the special Wednesday $35 prix fixe, so it was an incredible bargain for three courses of phenomenal food. Perhaps because of the prix fixe, it was packed and loud even at 8:30 pm on a Wednesday night, but it was, as always, among the best dining experiences possible in Delaware—or really, anywhere, because part of the joy of going to La Fia is that you feel like you could be in the best food cities in the world because of how delicious the food is, and how stylish the feel. If they just brought back the truffle and pancetta bucatini they used to have, I literally wouldn't ever go anywhere else!
