"My wife and I recently had the pleasure of dining at Livia Italian Eatery in Geneva, Illinois, and it turned out to be an exceptional culinary experience from start to finish. To kick off the evening, we decided to explore their drink menu, opting for the wine on tap and sampling their old fashioned signature drinks. The wine was a delightful surprise, boasting a rich flavor that complemented our meal perfectly. The old fashioned cocktails were expertly crafted, striking the ideal balance of sweetness and strength. A great start to our dining adventure! Moving on to the appetizers, we indulged in a trio of culinary delights: lobster bisque soup, Tuscan shrimp, and eggplant with garlic bread. Each dish was a masterpiece in its own right. The lobster bisque was velvety and rich, the Tuscan shrimp burst with vibrant flavors, and the eggplant with garlic bread was a sublime fusion of textures and tastes. It was undeniably one of the best appetizer experiences we've ever had. For the main course, I opted for the Lobster Diavolo, and my wife chose the Filet Mignon. The lobster was a standout, cooked to perfection and served with a tantalizing sauce that enhanced its natural sweetness. The Filet Mignon was tender, succulent, and grilled to our exact specifications. Livia's commitment to culinary excellence was evident in every bite. However, the true star of the show was the dessert. We concluded our meal with the Tiramisu, and without exaggeration, it was the best we've ever had. The layers of coffee-soaked ladyfingers and velvety mascarpone were a heavenly combination. The balance of flavors and the delicate texture made it an unforgettable conclusion to a fantastic meal. The atmosphere at Livia Italian Eatery was warm and inviting, and the attentive staff added to the overall positive experience. From the impeccable appetizers to the mouthwatering main courses and the divine tiramisu, Livia Italian Eatery exceeded our expectations on every front. This is undoubtedly a restaurant we will return to, and we highly recommend it to anyone seeking an exceptional dining experience in Geneva."
"I came to Livia for a birthday dinner and had a great time. Our server Justin was very courteous and checked on us routinely. The ambiance was great and relaxed. We ordered two appetizers and two pasta entrees, all of which was delicious. The portion sizes are reasonable. My pasta was a bit undercooked and chewy but otherwise it’s a great place. They update their menu seasonally."
"First time here and we will definitely be back. Our waiter Jaime was terrific. He recommended an appetizer and it was delicious. Eggplant and shrimp. You must try this. The pork chop was so tender and juicy and the lake superior whitefish was great."
