The dessert offerings at Lyla Lila are nothing short of spectacular.

The Meyer Lemon Cheesecake with a gingersnap crust, fresh blueberries, basil, and lemon zest provides a zingy, aromatic finale that dances on the tongue. For drinkers seeking elegance without alcohol, the spirit-free cocktails like the Pomp And Pride Espresso—a sparkling mix bursting with grapefruit, lavender, lemon, and tonic—offer a sophisticated alternative that pairs perfectly with the food.

Finally tried Lyla Lila for my birthday recently and enjoyed it thoroughly. For drinks I had the Soul Vaccination which was great and my wife had a tasty mocktail. Started with the Broccoli & Fennel Salad and the Crispy Artichokes, both of which were delicious but we especially enjoyed the Broccoli which was light and refreshing. The Crispy Duck Lasagna was great, although I enjoyed it more than my wife did. We both loved the unique and delicious Ravioli Doppio, just wish it came with more pieces! Finished with the French lemon yogurt cake and the Meyer lemon cheesecake, the latter of which was superb. Enjoyed a glass of cold port as well. Overall great meal with good service and a cool table by the window. The bar area is one of the coolest I’ve seen.
Such a great dining experience! We stopped by to try something different and ended up loving every bite. Began with the smoked scallops, beautifully presented and full of flavor. We sampled a few pasta dishes, but the squid ink pasta was the real highlight — rich, spicy, and perfectly cooked. The staff was warm and attentive throughout. Can’t wait to return for more!
Reservation recommended! Very interesting take on pasta! If you're looking for standard Italian pasta dishes, this may not be the place, but their fusion with different flavors made it a unique dining experience. They offered a different option for the menu, where you could order "appetizer sizes of each pasta, so we ordered several. You could tell the chef's background is fusion. I would come back for sure, although it may seem for some a "tried it, I'm good now" energy. Great service! Great mocktails! Great dessert! I wish we were sat in the main dining room, but my wife and I got a decent intimate corner. Great for a date night for sure.
I had heard great things about Lyla Lila and it did not disappoint! Everything from the service to the dessert was amazing. Everyone from our regular waiter to the food runners were so professional. We had the bread starter, artichokes, cacio e pepe, and the sweet potato pasta along with the cheesecake and tiramisu. All of the food was noteworthy and I would come back and eat all of it again. The cacio e pepe was incredible and I loved how it was served as sort of a stuffed pasta dish. The Brussel sprouts side was also a stand out. I didn’t get pictures of the HUGE piece of tiramisu we were served. Overall a really special meal that I’d recommend to any looking for an elevated Italian meal.
We had an incredible dinner at Lyla Lila. We had the snapper and the wagyu truffle ravioli — both dishes were perfectly prepared, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. The highlight, however, was the tiramisu — truly one of the best I’ve ever had, even better than many I’ve tried in Italy! Service was warm and professional, and the atmosphere elegant yet relaxed. A must-visit spot in Atlanta for anyone who appreciates refined cuisine and great hospitality. Highly recommended!
Lovely place to spend the evening in Atlanta! We started off with the snapper crudo and what an introduction! The way all of the flavors and textures blended together with every bite was a wholly unique and enjoyable experience with top notch ingredients. We had a small incident with the smoked scallops but our waiter quickly replaced it with the absolute best roasted chicken my wife and I ever had. We’ve never experienced chicken so juicy yet had such a crispy skin! Both the cocktails and mocktails were inspired and through and through just an amazing evening. Make sure not to skip out on the deserts either because you really can’t go wrong with anything on the menu here!
