Lilia

Lilia is an Italian restaurant located in Brooklyn that is worth visiting. However it is difficult to snag a reservation. If you go on their website, you can find reservations that are several weeks out. I have also discovered that if you go to the restaurant in person, they will be able to help you make a reservation in advanced.

Known for their delicious hand crafted pasta, Lilia has a reputation for a reason. I actually had an early dinner at 5 pm here. It was the perfect time because I was able to catch the sunset afterwards. I recommend sharing plates because it was difficult to choose from the menu items. My friend and I shared the following:
-Roasted Leek Focaccia, Green Garlic Butter
– Little Gem Lettuce, Italian Vinaigrette, Pecorino, Breadcrumbs
– Sheeps Milk Cheese Filled Agnolotti, Saffron, Dried Tomato, Honey
– Fettuccine, Lamb Sausage, Tomato Passato, Lemon, Pecorino

The Roasted Leek Focaccia blew my mind and I wasn’t expecting it to taste that good! Also, the Sheeps Milk Cheese Filled Agnolotti was INCREDIBLE! I mean just look at the photo above. Please do yourself a favor and make a reservation now, order that and thank me later 🙂
