    La Fia may just be the best restaurant in Delaware. The dining room is inviting and unpretentious, but the food ranks right up there with some of the best spots in Philadelphia. I have never had a bad dish here - the menu rotates seasonally but there are some stand-out staples that remain, such as the duck leg confit. The servers are incredibly knowledgable and personable. While there are bigger-name, more publicized restaurants down the street, La Fia is a hidden gem where you can have a quality meal for a reasonable price.

    Our server was wonderful! Kind, attentive, friendly; very helpful in guiding our food & beverage selections. We shared the tuna tartare, the halibut & squid ink pasta with prawns. So flavorful and perfectly executed. Everything was delicious! Excited to return! And you must get the olive oil cake for dessert!

    Dinner was fantastic , first time trying the crispy duck and it was amazing, the pastas were delish. Tuna tartare was too salty next time ask for less salt on everything.

    Another amazing meal at La Fia--and so excited about so many amazing new dishes on the menu (though so glad they have kept my favorites like the bucatini as well!). I had the eggplant appetizer--as always, such an incredible and perfect melding of flavors--the steak, which was cooked absolutely perfectly, and the new sweet potato cake for dessert, a fun new addition and perfect for fall! As always, the cocktails were the best anywhere, and the service was impeccable!

    Absolutely tremendous. Wow. So delicious that multiple times I stopped hearing the world around and I was honed in with laser focus savoring the flavor and texture of every bite.
