Lilia – Italian
Housed in a sun-drenched, whitewashed former auto body shop, Lilia hums with an effortless Brooklyn energy where the scent of wood smoke and toasted garlic fills the air. Hand-extruded pastas like the iconic ruffled mafaldini are tossed in buttery, peppercorn-flecked sauces, while the roaring open fire transforms simple seafood and vegetables into charred, soulful masterpieces. It is a masterclass in understated elegance, where every plate celebrates the vibrant, honest spirit of Italian coastal cooking.
