"If you want to get into Lilia, you need to book about a month in advance. But fortunately, you’ve known for roughly 50 years when your 50th birthday would be. This is, hands down, the best Italian restaurant in Williamsburg, and you’re here to eat some exceptional agnolotti with a side of baked clams and some cacio e pepe fritters. Don’t ignore the other small plates on the menu, and be sure to get some olive oil cake for dessert. Your friends are very nice people and they care about you, but they probably won’t bake a better cake." - bryan kim
