Our first time at Livia. It had received outstanding reviews and thought it would be good for an anniversary dinner. Food and Service was excellent, but atmosphere was more "bar like" and not the type of environment we expected. Might have been due to the Geneva Art Fair effect.

Excellent food in a very nice outdoor patio setting. My only complaint was the pacing of service. Ordered 2 appetizer, one of which wasn't served until the entree was. Should have received both apps at the same time.

The small plates are fabulous! They make a great start to a meal, or are worth a mid afternoon stop all on their own. A nice glass of wine and the honey ricotta would be hard to beat!

Our food was exceptionally good and my filets were done just right to perfection and my wife’s chicken Marsala was exceptionally good as well. Our only downfall is we left my wife’s leftovers on the table and she went back for them they were gone.
