Liliana's Italian Kitchen — Restaurant in Concord

1000% recommend! First time there...and definitely will go back! Quaint atmosphere minimum seating because of covid.

I ordered the breaded artichoke hearts as an appetizer. They were nicely crispy on the outside and so tender on the inside and the spicy mayo dip was a great add.. it was a large portion for the $. The pictures may not do it justice but the portions ARE LARGE! The chicken spedini with a twist...medallions with spinach goodness inside and the rigatoni catching all the cream sauce goodness. The chicken parm was BIG! The spaghetti it comes with was enough for a meal by itself. Zesty cheesy goodness! Lastly I got the sandwich called "The Don". It was delicious! I'm a little hesitant about pressed bread...panini style because it can be hard and tear up my mouth. This was perfectly toasted light crunch on the outside with a tender middle. If your sensitive to spicy...id remove the giardinera peppers. The combination of the meats and cheeses were fantastic and the bacon added a great smokey flavor...oh and last but not least...our server Nicki was great! Super nice and perfectly attentive...great knowledge of the menu! Im a pizza guy and all I've heard is to try it....thats...

This is a wonderful, cozy Italian restaurant. The food was somewhat hit or miss. The meatballs are delightful, so soft they nearly melt in your mouth and not too heavy or light on the seasoning. Not to mention, they're covered in tomato sauce and mozzarella cheese. Three of us visited, and we all ordered a side ceasar salad with our meals, but one of them came out as a house salad. Our server ended up taking one salad off of the check, though. The two Ceasars were overwhelmingly heavy on the parmesan cheese. Other than that, not bad. For my main dish, I ordered the "Chicken Modiga". The breading on that chicken was so flavorful and well seasoned that it may be the best breaded chicken I've ever eaten. The asparagus tasted a little different than the asparagus I'm used to, but still good. The pasta as well, delicious. One of our entrées came out cold, which, along with the salad, costs them a star for food. The service was as expected for a packed Sunday dinnertime. I took off one star for bringing the wrong salad and the cold food. The atmosphere was inviting and cozy, but the lighting was dim and it was difficult to see the menu. Highly recommend this...

I am very surprised this place has as good a rating as it does. I got a Timmy pizza ( meatballs, banana peppers and red onion; red onion only on half) from them. I looked at the menu and thought it was strange they only had small and extra large pizzas. So we got the XL. I went to pick it up and was not happy when they refused to honor my pizza passport that should've cut the price of the pizza in half. Instead I had to pay full price as they only honor the pizza passport if I dine in, as if it makes a difference.

When I got home, I opened the pizza box and noticed that they put onions on the whole thing. Most of the onions were not red onions, by the way. The pizza was cut in a strange way; it wasn't the typical slice style or the typical St. Louis style grid cut. The pizza itself was mediocre. None of the 3 of us thought it was good. It was sort of like St. Louis style with the thin crispy crust, but the cheese was not provel.

The pizza was not good and given that the only reason we ordered from them was the pizza passport that they refused to honor, I definitely will not be ordering from this...
