This was our first time there for my wife's 60th Birthday. Got the screen room...it was awesome! The ambiance, the service was the best and the food was just as great. Definitely will return!

Absolutely incredible food and service! My fillet and Seabass, with a side of homemade pasta and red sauce was out of this world! An Italian restaurant known for its homemade pasta and sauces really comes through with the steaks and fish as well. What a gem!

Hostess was very friendly and accommodating. We didn’t request a booth on our reservation but she made it happen! Our waitress was very attentive without being intrusive. She knew just when to check on us. Food was amazing and portions were large. Leftovers for lunch the next day. Highly recommend this restaurant!

What a fun and delicious treat! We took our out of town guests to Laziza and it was Dolly’s rhinestone brunch day!! Everyone was dressed to the nines in honor of Dolly! The food was absolutely amazing! Their take on the classic brunch menu is so creative and delicious and it makes you want to come back to see what they are going to do next! Just a wonderful day!!

Dinner was fantastic. The most tender chop I've ever had and incredibly flavorful. I love the nod to the old Tangier menu items with a contemporary twist. The wine list is outstanding and very fairly priced. Our server, Michelle, was knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. Sleek but cozy ambiance. This is an undiscovered gem. I'll definitely be back.
