Liana's Trattoria

We celebrated a birthday last night and had a wonderful meal at Liana's. We started with the Zucchini Rollatini and the beautifully prepared Bruschetta with prosciutto. Three of us opted for the Linguini with white clam sauce and found loaded with fresh clams and a beautiful broth. One of us ordered the Gnocchi with a meat sauce, and said that the dish met the description on the menu, they were truly fluffy and light. We had very little room left for dessert but shared the amazing coconut cake. We can't wait to go back!

We have always LOVED Liana 's and have been there dozens of times over the years. Liana 's has always had excellent service and exceptional delicious food. Be warned... this place is NOT the same! Everything has changed for the worse. The service was not good and the servers were extremely inexperienced. We had to ask for menus, for wine glasses, for water. After ordering, we waited TWO SOLID HOURS for the entrees. We kept looking around and every single table in the restaurant had NO food. The servers disappeared for most of the 2 hours. However, we kept our cool bc we were looking forward to Liana 's food. At one point, about 90 minutes into the 2 hour wait, the host came over to ask us (and the table next to us) what we had ordered. Ugh, that was NOT reassuring. When the entrees finally arrived, we were surprised to discover the food is simply NOT the same at all. The Chicken Milanese was extremely bland w no salt or lemon flavor, and the cutlet was dry/overcooked. The Salmon Picatta on the menu is described as having tomatoes, spinach, new potatoes and a fennel saffron broth . The salmon entree we received had no broth, no tomatoes, no spinach, no potatoes. It was just an unseasoned plain piece of salmon with some undercooked asparagus. When we were finally done with our meal and ready to go home after such a long ordeal, we could not find any server to bring our check. We finally located the host, who was sitting down at a table chatting with people, and we had to ask him for our check. We were so excited about Liana 's reopening, but this is NOT the same place! P.S. Not one single employee was masked. When we entered the restaurant wearing our masks (which is our personal prerogative), the host said something to the effect of you don 't need to be wearing that . Absolutely unprofessional!

We had reservations and we were seated at a table next to the kitchen and every time a waitress came out of the kitchen, she passed by our table.

Small, almost home-like vibe, friendly professional server Robbie) Veal entree with arugula much enjoyed. All 4 of us left empty plates, scallopsw/zucchini; another had gf pasta w/ protein, my wife had gf pasta too. gorgonzola/pear salad and Kale salad special both excellent. Food quality excellent, and serving sizes generous..

Having lived in Italy, and tried Italian restaurants all over the world, I can verify that this food is like being in Naples with a wonderful southern Italian charm and atmosphere.
