    They were so great about accommodating our large group ( volleyball team and parents) and even adjusted times for us once we realized our play schedule would conflict with our original reservation. Great staff and very patient with us! Would go there again!!!

    This was our first time at Lazia. Everything was perfection. Our server, Cheyanne, was fantastic. She was attentive and knowledgeable. We ordered focaccia bread and the wedge first. Both items - the best we’ve ever tasted. For our entree, we ordered the ribeye and potatoes. Also delicious. The atmosphere was amazing. The restaurant was busy (Valentines Day) but the service was super prompt and the food was hot. We had the raspberry chocolate dessert and the lemon dessert. Both fabulous. We WILL be back. Thank you, Cheyanne and Lazia, for a truly wonderful experience!

    Plate was a wonderful experience. The food was wonderful we tried a variety of items and everything was delicious. Our server was very helpful and had great suggestions on food selections. They had a live musician which we were seated somewhat close to which was a touch noisy but my wife and I could still carry a conversation well enough.
