AI-generated summary
Get the and the focaccia. Those are the two people come back for, plus the Italian Job for dessert. People split hard on everything else. Plenty say the other pastas are forgettable and not worth the reservation hassle. Bar seats open up if you line up before the door unlocks.

“For how meh the food and ambiance is there are other better options for the same (if not cheaper) price and that don't make you feel like a lottery ticket winner for getting a reservation.”

“The only notable dishes were the clams and the dessert. Our table was seated 45 minutes after our reservation time with no apology whatsoever, and the service was downright antagonistic.”

“I think yes there are “better” spots but these two places are pretty unique in that you won’t find those same dishes elsewhere (green butter foccacia, sheep’s milk agnolotti or Italian job gelato from Lilia or the whipped ricotta toast from misi) so it’s worth a try if you’re in nyc.”

“it was SO disappointing. The food was just..not good at all.”

“that’s my favorite steak - their off menu rib eye is so well seasoned, prepared on their wood fire open grill, same goes for their lamb leg steak - that is in my opinion the best value for money and amazing taste.”

“(IMO) the absolute most standout dishes for me have been the veggies, don’t get me wrong the pasta is great”
H3
“It has admittedly been my fav pasta I’ve tried at Lilia (and I’ve tried most of them) but the pink peppercorn is a little too overpowering for me. Their mussels on the other hand are fabulous”

“Legendary Italian with legendary pastas. One of the toughest reservations in Brooklyn.”

“Honestly mind blowing — seasonal dish featuring caramelized onions, breadcrumbs and fresh rosemary. Oh wowza.”

“the brown butter focaccia and the sheep’s milk agnolotti are some of my favorite dishes of all time even if the rest of the pastas aren’t as good”
