    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.

    My husband and I love Livia in Geneva. We have been several times and yesterday went for his birthday. The lamb chops are his favorite meal. I love the roasted beet salad which is what I ordered. Literally everything we have gotten here from appetizers to our dinner is always so good. The service is always great too! We will be back soon.

    We had dinner with friends during Swedish Days. Our table was ready right on time. It was very loud, but hey, it was crowded. Our waiter was awesome. Everyone said the food was delicious. My friends where from out of town, and they said they would definitely go back when in town again. The honey ricotta was sweet and creamy, the shrimp and calamari had a hint of spice, the lasagna was just like moms 😊, the kale and farro salad we substituted spring mix for the kale (just personal preference, but it was one of the most flavourful salads ever!) and the butternut squash sacchetti was such a pleasant surprise with the gorgonzola and truffle. All were so delicious. Livia is my favourite Geneva restaurant.

    Although the food and wine menu had recently changed and they were out of the wine we chose, we found an acceptable replacement. Matt did a good job with our order and was fun. We'll be back.

    We had a reservation for a party of 8 at 2 pm on a Tuesday to celebrate a graduation. There was no one in the restaurant, plenty of open tables for 8 and they put us at a table in a weird nook adjacent to the kitchen. Why??? The lighting was bad and we could hear all of the kitchen noise and see the waitress prep area that can only been seen from that table. Service and food were great. Every time we go to Livia there is something majorly disappointing. Please improve on making the entire experience enjoyable.
