"Italien un des meilleurs de NY. Réserver à l’avance "

@floxieflox

"Lilia is a stylish Italian restaurant from chef Missy Robbins, housed in a light-filled former garage at 567 Union Avenue, where hand-crafted pastas and wood-fired seafood take center stage. The menu shines with standout dishes like mafaldini with pink peppercorns and sheep-milk-cheese agnolotti with saffron and honey, while the all-Italian wine list and relaxed Brooklyn ambience make it feel elevated yet"

"This Williamsburg paean to pasta is in a former garage with exposed-beam wooden ceilings. Chef-owner Missy Robbins is one of New York’s finest pasta chefs. People come here for all sorts of carby stuff: rigatoni diavola, gnocchi, and ravioli. Start, though, with some cacio e pepe fritelle, gorgeous fried balls decked out with salty cheese and pepper, and move on to seafood, another Robbins strong suit. Maybe today’s the day for grilled clams flecked with Calabrian chilies? Cured sardines with capers? It’s all good. But, the absolute must-order dish is the mafaldini, a rippled noodle spiked with pink peppercorns. Reservations are hard to come by (you may need to book a month in advance) but snagging one is well worth the constant refreshes of Resy."

"Nath’s reco | À la carte $60 | ⚠️ Closed for lunch • #36 New York Times top 100 ‘26 • Eater’s Best NYC Restaurants ‘25 CHIC ITALIAN Launched by chef Missy Robbins - who caught Barack Obama's eye when she worked at Spiaggia in Chicago - Lilia is the kind of place where fashion editors like to host informal dinners. Evoking an atmosphere of industrial-chic with floor-to-ceiling windows, this former garage could almost be a nightclub. Handmade pasta and seafood dishes, all expertly prepared, are certainly worth the wait if all the tables, including those on the pavement, are already taken. There is also a very pleasant café for early morning nibbles. Chef-owner Missy Robbins is one of New York’s finest pasta chefs.

"pink peppercorn mafaldine Missy Robbins deserves a medal for her unmatched pasta-making skills. We guess a James Beard Award for Best Chef in New York City will suffice. Although getting a table at Lillia may feel like a superhuman task, if you set your mind to something, anything is possible. Reservations are available on Resy thirty days in advance, but make sure to look out for new reservations releasing every day at 10 am. The Pink Peppercorn Malfadini is worth every early morning heart attack. Chef Missy Robbins surprised everyone by leaving swanky A Voce (since closed) to helm this uncomplicated Italian spot in a reformatted Williamsburg car-repair shop. However, no one has been surprised by its success. She's often present, flitting between the pared-back high-ceilinged dining room and the kitchen, preparing sublime pasta that runs the gamut from corzetti to mafaldini, accompanied by just a few ingredients - perhaps tangy sheep's cheese, spicy lamb sausage, anchovy, pine nuts, speck or pink peppercorns. When the swordfish is pulled out of the wood-fired grill, the aroma may temporarily transport you to the Amalfi Coast. Between 7am and 4pm, Lilia operates only as a café; stop by for the bomboloni or a prosciutto panino. 567 Union Avenue, T718 576 3095, www.lilianewyork.com"
