I have now frequented Lidia's twice and have to say I would only go back with some hesitations. I found that the ambience was quite striking and unique. The use of soft, warm shades or orange, brown, and amber gave the restaurant a trendy but comfortable feel. The service was polite, prompt, and our waitress was attentative. I found the main disappointments with the food. One party member ordered the Pasta special where one samples three different types of pasta. Only one of them, the one with lamb, had any real flavour. My spinach and mushroom filled canneloni were delicious, but another party member's pasta dish was bland, luke warm, and too salty. Overall, Lidia's promises more than it gives.
Pros: Ambience, Service
Cons: Uniqueness of food, Price/Good Deal
