Liliana in Minnesota

"A taste of Italy with a twist made fresh in Woodbury! The appetizers, entrees and desserts are all unique and full of flavor! Everyone was friendly and even had windows to see into the pasta making room which is so fun! It is a busy and popular place so reservations help or you might have to wait or not get in even. Overall a nice addition to the area and great for celebrations!"

"This was a fantastic meal! I came in close to open and grabbed a seat at the bar. They were already getting busy so I definitely recommend a reservation if you want a table. Bartender was friendly and made a fantastic cocktail. I had the Bada Bing which was a little strong for me, but delicious. I ordered the brussel sprouts which were delightful. Perfectly cooked. A little bit of vinegar from the peppers gave it a bit of lightness to compliment the creamy sauce. For the main I had the Strozzapreti. The noodles had a perfect bite and I enjoyed the shape. The sauce was perfectly buttery, but not heavy. It melded with the sausage and toasted bread crumbs for a delicious bite. When I finished my meal, the server/bartender advised me to wait and I received a single portion of one of the desserts, some kind of fried dough with cinnamon sugar. It was tasty and nice finish to the meal as well as a lovely 'Thank you for dining with us'. By the end of my meal, the place was thriving. The bar was full, it looked like all the tables were occupied. Staff were moving like a ballet around each other to make and deliver. I will absolutly be going back, I want to try everything on the menu and I enjoyed the atmosphere and hospitality very much."

"Liliana was exceptional! What a menu full of unique and delicious dishes. Our group of four had the Olive Fritte and Suppli to start. For mains, the seasonal Papardelle (pumpkin bolognese) was stellar with an amazing amount of nutmeg that we enjoyed. We also loved the Mafaldine (their take on spaghetti and meatballs) and the Creapelle which was large enough to share for two. Dessert capped the night with zeppole and a delicious ice cream Popsicle. Despite the loud ambiance, we were still able to carry a conversation, and the service was excellent from start to finish. We can't wait to come back and tackle more of the menu!"

"We loved Liliana! Fantastic service from our waitress Becky, and the food was phenomenal! My favorite bites of the night were probably the dago sandwich, chicken parm, greens, and sweet potatoes. The mafaldine was probably the only thing the table didn't love; the pomodoro sauce tasted pretty basic but the meatballs it's served with were great. We also love how, like Estelle, they bring a little table sweet treat to cap off the night."

"We tried Liliana’s for the first time last night…..All was amazing from the very friendly service from Tony and Seth to the wonderful food we enjoyed….. Ravioli and chicken parmigiana…. Also tried the garlic cheese bread…everything was so delicious! To end our meal , we ordered the popsicle for dessert…. 1 was not enough….. so creamy and delicious…. Do not share… order your own!!. Last, we received 2 sweet cinnamon donut balls courtesy of chefs . We will be back.. oh and the gin drink.. yum!! . Great addition to Woodbury!!"

"We came to celebrate birthdays and the staff made it incredibly special. The food was also absolutely amazing - rich, delicious, and really inventive. The rotolo was definitely the star. The pacherri packed a welcome amount of spice, and the balsamic pearls on the ravioli were a really unique and tasty touch. Cocktails were wonderful as well. For how good this was, it seems incredibly reasonably priced. PS definitely make a reservation."

"Aaaaaaamazing!!! We sat at the pasta bar (ONLY SEATS 4). It was not great for a conversation type setting with the four of us but we had plenty of entertainment watching the pasta being made and other dishes being prepped. Our server was fantastic, a really good soul of a person. Parking is weird but that just means options aplenty just not your traditional parking lot. Food - So so good. Everything was savory, flavor filled, rich, decadent. The meatballs were definitely worth writing home about. Order everything and MUST order the garlic bread. We had no idea the center was filled! Perfect spot for a romantic dinner or a special night out!! Tip: Highly recommend reservations on any night of the week."

"We had such a great experience tonight at Liliana. The ambiance immediately sets the tone. Dark, moody, and intimate in the best way. Beautifully done and I loved the glassware. One of my favorite touches was being able to reserve a seat right at the window and watch the pasta being made by hand. It added such a special, authentic element to the experience. Our server, Nicole, was wonderful. I asked her to surprise me with a dish, and she completely nailed it. I had the Paccheri, and my friend ordered the Radiatore, both were incredibly fresh with amazing flavor. We finished the meal with dessert, and the tiramisu deserves its own moment. Easily one of the best I’ve ever had. I’ll definitely be back..not just for the pasta, but even stopping in for dessert and a cup of coffee would be absolutely divine. Highly recommend."
