Lidias Ristorante Italiano

Searching for a new Italian restaurant we came across Lidia’s Restaurante Italiano on Atlee Rd in Mechanicsville, VA and they did not disappoint! The staff 5/5 (attentive, nice and helped to navigate the menu). The vibe was quiet and the space was very clean. Now to the most important part, lol the food: 5/5 portions were huge and everything was well seasoned! My mother joined us and her go to is Chicken Parmigiana (2 chicken cutlets and a half plate of spaghetti), I ordered their homemade lasagna (so many layers and covered in a rich meat sauce with plenty of cheese), Mimi opted for the salmon pasta ( she stated the salmon was seasoned well and the sauce gave an alla vodka sauce vibe which was really tasty). The salads were basic but fresh and the salad dressings really good. The rolls we

Amazing dining experience. Family friendly. The food was exceptional. The server was very courteous and attentive. She is an asset to the restaurant. We recommend Lidia's for a great Italian meal.

Ordered dinner for pick up around 8:30pm on a Saturday. We got baked veggie spaghetti and a meat lovers pizza. Overall, it was really good and we would definitely order from here again! The pizza was great. I expected more veggies to be in the veggie spaghetti as it seemed to have very little, and it did not have very much seasoning. The portion size was good for the price. I was easily able to split the spaghetti into two portions. The side salad and bread that came with the spaghetti complimented the pasta. The salad ingredients were fresh, as was the bread.

Nice restaurant with very laid back atmosphere. The Cesar salad was amazing! Food came quickly and was very good and tasty. All the food is very affordable and the portions are very big. Highly recommend!

I really enjoyed our first visit to this Italian restaurant. The staff was welcoming, and we sat down right away. We started with the calamari. It was lightly breaded and crispy, with a fresh flavor. I got the lasagna, which tasted like home. It was delicious. There was plenty of meat, pasta, and cheese, a perfect balance. The sauce wasn't overly sweet. The tomato was very evident in the sauce. The Caesar salad was fresh, the dressing flavorful, not bland. The bread was hot and yummy. I can't wait to go back!
