   The restaurant was very nice. The service was attentive. The food that we ate was delicious but we were disappointed that the menu on line was completely different than the restaurant. The online menu was larger, more affordable and more casual. We spent double what we thought we would but the food was great. The wine was also much more expensive than other similar restaurants and limited affordable choices by the bottle. We drank the house wine by the glass but would have preferred more reasonable bottle choices. I would recommend it but for more special occasion due to the price not just casual dinner out with the girls.

   The reason I gave Liola 4 stars was because it was difficult to communicate with him. He recited the specials incorrectly and couldn't really explain them which was annoying. He was a very nice guy though as was everyone else. The food was very good and dessert was delicious! Since it was early, there were very few people in the restaurant so we were able to get a great table next to the fireplace! All in all I would go back but read the menu first so I can figure out what to order!!!!

   2nd time visiting this Queens gem. Celebrating my Mothers 87th birthday, we were a party of 9. Food and service was fabulous. Sophisticated but easy to enjoy menu, our group loved the Gnocchi, Skirt Steak, Shrmp and clam ravioli, Branzino and a succulent breadcrumb encrusted chicken. This HAS to be one of the finest restaurants in Queens and as good as anything in the other boroughs. Can’t wait to go back.

    My wife and I have been to many Italian restaurants in Queens. But Liola is by far the best in food, service, atmosphere, and value. We were very happy with our dinner and look forward to making our regular Italian spot.

    Recommendations were on point. I especially like the fact that no matter which waiter of staff member is near your table, they will fill up your glass of water, clear the table of any soiled dishes, ask if you want anything else etc. They are an amazing team. Even if I didn't have a certificate, I would still go back to Liola. Thumbs up Liola

    Service was slow. Waiters did not speak well or clearly. Food was fine, but kids said brick oven pizza tasted like regular pizza. Baked clams were not as expected. And food took a long time to come out. Coffee came out way before dessert which was only tartufo and thank god I tasted before my son who has peanut allergies bc there was peanuts in the middle? So weird waiter could not communicate properly when asked about this, would never go back

    the service was not the best...there were 2 bigger parties there so we were not that well attended too. the fliet mignon was sub par... the appetizers were good but very big ...the server should have told us to order only one. the wine was meh. i'd go back because it is close to home...but it wasn't there best night

    This is, in my opinion, the best restaurant/bistro in the area. There are several red sauce joint in Whitestone and Bayside, but none have a veal ossobucco like Liola. It is not as noisy as places on Bell Blvd and the room is prettier than all of them. Great value for the price, just use the valet. Parking can be tough.

    First time we'd ever been here. We won a Liola Gift Card for $50 dollars at a Charity Event and we decided to go for our Anniversary. Lovely restaurant ~ excellent service and wonderful food! The Chef treated us to his own homemade Limoncello and again treated us to a surprise Chocolate Layer Cake for our Anniversary. Our Server / Bartender made my Manhattan perfectly and as requested. All the portions are quite generous ~ Crab cakes, Buratta plate with figs, prosciutto & caponata, Stuffed Pork Chop and the special of the day Osso Bucco ~ everything was excellent. Not inexpensive - Manhattan prices - but worth it. $163.00 not including tip - primarily because of the Osso Bucco at $45.00. For a luxurious night out - we will definitely eat here again and intend to recommend it to friends.

    We had a very nice evening at Liola. The service was terrific and the food was delicious. Branzino, Calamari, Arugula Salad all very good. Fish was done just right. The pasta special with pesto, scallops, and shrimp was good, but not up to the level of the rest of the meal. The pasta itself was homemade and done perfectly. A very delicious slice of cheesecake with a candle for a birthday. They should think about sone sound-absorbing surfaces. As the room began to fill, it got quite noisy.
