Liana's - Fairfield

We dined at Liana 's last night and had one of the most disappointing restaurant experiences of all time. We came in right after they opened for the evening (5:30) and took a seat at the bar. At the time, there was only one other group of diners inthe restaurant. We were handed menus fairly quickly by the one server working in the restaurant and then proceeded to order aglass of wine each. The bartender came over at one point and we ordered dinner. He didn 't write anything down, but I didn 'tthink too much of it at the time. We sat there with a glass of water each, our wine and a bread basket with three pieces ofbread until about 6:50 when I was finally able to make eye contact with the bartender (who had taken our order) and inquireabout the food we ordered. No one had checked on us up until that point. The wine was long gone, so was the water and thebread. When he went into the kitchen to check on our food, he came back and told us there was no record of our order. I toldhim we would just take the check for our wine and leave. He got our check and then didn 't come back to take our credit card. We had to borrow money from a lovely couple next to us in order to have enough cash to leave! We were so upset by the lack ofattention, the failure to submit our order to the kitchen, and then even having to pay for the wine we had after waiting an hourand a half for nothing. I don 't know how they can make this right, but they did not seem to want to do anything last night tohelp turn the experience around. It was so frustrating!

I have to say, chef James is great. Can't remember the last time I had calf, but this was to die for the waiters were very attentive and knew everything it knew about the wine that not that was 6 pages on a triple if I could give it more than 5 stars I could definitely say reservations. Definitely an upscale Italian restaurant for any special occasion just don't forget to make reservations and to tell James Taylor

One of the best Italian restaurants in Fairfield County! Great hostess, terrific service, and some of the best tasting food around! The authentic cuisine is by far some of the best outside of Italy! Quality fresh ingredients is noticeable in the taste of the food.

A beautiful small Italian eatery. Generational recipes and great hospitality makes this a wonderful spot to visit more then once.

I ordered the gnocchi with meat sauce and it was simply delicious! The sauce was flavorful and had hints of basil. The gnocchi itself was soft and silky, not mushy like some places who attempt to serve this dish. I am happily surprised with how delicious it tasted! I ordered take out on a Wednesday night and it was ready within 15-20 minutes, and it came with four small pieces of warm bread. $24 for a decent portion.
