"Lilia is one of the best restaurants in NYC, and sister restaurant Misi isn’t far behind. Both Williamsburg establishments serve consistently perfect pasta and interesting small plates that make great use of seasonal produce, but we slightly prefer Misi for a fun date night. The space feels laid-back and buzzy, and it’s always full of couples saying things like “How is this pasta so good?” (The answer is butter.) Just keep in mind that it’s impossible to get a table here unless you book a full four weeks in advance." - bryan kim, will hartman, willa moore, sonal shah
