Excellent food and great service. The fig toast is a must try as well as the olive oil cake for dessert. Great spot for a date night.

My new favorite restaurant in downtown Wilmington! There is just so much on the menu to choose from, and every option is/sounds amazing! My mom and I tried the fig toast, chicken liver pate, pork belly, gnochi, and chocolate ganache, and everything was outstanding. Service was great as well - if you haven't tried La Fia, I'd highly recommend! Great thing is that there is a parking garage almost right across the street, so it's definitely accessible. Highly recommend!

The food was prepared well the duck was delicious and juicy, the little gem salad was good yet not as spicy as I anticipated from the description. The braised short ribs were very flavorful and melted in your mouth. The potatoes were crispy with a nice salty coating. The halibut was tasty yet uninspired. The grilled mushrooms were very well prepared but the rest of the dish was lacking a place of it’s own; just kind of bland fish dish on puréed potatoes which let’s face it is the least creative side. Dessert was well thought out and prepared. I had the pistachio torte which was excellent and my gorgeous date had the chocolate cake which was similarly excellent. For cocktails the Amalfi spritz was refreshing with a hint of hibiscus and not bitter like an Aperol spritz and the bone dry dirty martini met the mark.

Thoroughly enjoyed a perfect Restaurant Week three-course dinner at La Fia last night. For the first course, my husband and I both ordered the Fig Toast with whipped pistachio and aged gouda--it was a unique but completely harmonious convergence of flavors. For the main course, I had the Braised Beef Short Rib, which was so tender that it melted in my mouth--and the tomato conserve was a faintly sweet but excellent complement to the beef. Hubby ordered the Coriander-Crusted Halibut in Shitake Broth, which he pronounced the best meal he'd had in the past couple of years. We hope both dishes end up on the permanent menu. Desserts were also lovely and creative. And I would be remiss not to mention our terrific and attentive waitress Natasha who helped make the whole experience a pleasure!

The food was amazing- we had the pork belly appetizer that was paired with peaches and Indian sauce that when eaten together, was next level good! The service was very good, making sure to check on us, while not bringing food out too quickly. The location was perfect walk from The Queen Hotel and the parking lot.
