We have been to La Fia multiple times and the food and service never disappoint. Main dishes, gnocchi and branzino were excellent. Service was superb and we had no problem making it to our show even they were extremely busy. Food is a great value given the quality and portion sizes.

We love La Fia, so it was an easy choice to come to celebrate a friend's birthday, but it was an extra delight to have it be Restaurant Week, with a whole special menu of new things to discover! Everything we had was AMAZING--we really hope a lot of the dishes find their way to the regular menu. The shrimp toast was absolutely outstanding--absolutely incredible. The beignets with a chive sauce and rhubarb jam were an absolute delight. The tuna tartare, a version of which has been on the regular menu, was exceptional. And then the entrees were fantastic as well: the short rib was superb (and I loved the roasted balsamic strawberries!), and others loved the branzino and the chicken. Top it off with amazing desserts new and favorites, and it was another incredible meal, with the best cocktails and service to accompany it. Thank you, as always!
