We had such a pleasant dinner. We ordered several tapas (fried goat cheese, stuffed red peppers, shrimp and tuna), and we both had pasta dishes( Malfadine al Nero and Papardelle with pork ragu) . Everything was very tasty and well cooked. Even the pasta was "al dente". A wonderfull approach to Italian food. Brian was very professional, helpful and kind. Ask for him for a better experience!!!!

Cafe Lily provides reliably excellent food and service. It is one of the most underrated restaurants in my point of view, and we have been coming here for close to two decades. It has an intimate atmosphere and is a model of a wonderful restaurant for two or groups.

Ela was amazing. The service and food were outstanding. The only issue was that it was VaHi restaurant week and with only 3 items on the menu - it was disappointing that the main item, the skewer, the restaurant was out of at 7p. But, it was our first time there and other than that we had a great time! Would highly recommend!
