This is hands down the best Mediterranean spot I’ve ever been to. Everything was so good—from the food to the vibe to the service. The dishes were fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with a lot of care. Every bite hit.
Huge shoutout to Kylie the bartender because she was amazing. The drinks were on point, and her energy made the whole experience even better. Super friendly, fun to talk to, and clearly knows what she’s doing.
If you’re thinking about coming here, do it. Incredible food, great drinks, and awesome people. Can’t wait to come back!

I come to town every month and this is an absolute staple. Everything from the service, food and atmosphere is top tier. I would highly recommend sitting at the bar because Kylie is such attentive, funny, likable and amazing soul you'll meet. She always has great food and drink recommendations and also knows the area very well to recommend some other cool local spots. She always has a great attitude and makes the vibes real. The surf and turf or ribeye is my goto meal and the sampler as an app. The white almond amaretto cheese cake is homemade and *chefs kiss* amazing. Ask Kylie to make you one of her famous smoked old fashiones but make it with Basil Haden and add an extra cherry.. Im already lookin forward to my next adventure into town specifially to indulge in the full Laziza experience.

We went here with my wife sister in law and two kids under 5. For a Mediterranean place, they had a good options for our kids. Adults got drinks and the sampler platter, linguine, beef shawarma platter, and chicken shawarma platter. My two year old discovered the falafel and so we ordered more of that. We were served by Caitlin who was incredibly efficient and friendly while letting us enjoy our meal. Tremendous experience.

We have had consistently positive experiences dining at Laziza. The staff is attentive and friendly. We often dine at the bar and always receive exceptional service from Kylie the bartender. The food and drinks here are refreshingly unique and consistently well-prepared. I haven't had a dish here that I didn't love. We like the classy yet comfortable atmosphere of the restaurant. We also enjoy the outdoor seating in summer for its relaxing view of downtown. I am local and always recommend this restaurant, over others, to out-of-town friends and business associates visiting the area because I know they won't be disappointed.

I found this place on Instagram, and am so happy that I did. The building is so neat, and ambience so nice. I went for dinner with 2 friends and I had one of their seasonal drinks, a Paloma, which was very tasty. I started with the lentil soup which had a lovely, velvety texture and was seasoned perfectly. For my entree I had the angel hair pasta with harissa cream sauce. The Ohio city pasta was cooked perfectly and the sauce so flavorful. The dessert, a baklava cheesecake, was so delicious and definitely worth ordering when I don't usually order dessert. Our server, Ashley, was such a delight and made wonderful suggestions all throughout the evening. We made a reservation to try out their brunch, before we even left that night. We cannot wait to make this a frequent pick in our rotation!
