  Brunch at Laziza is amazing! We enjoyed our food - a perfectly cooked steak and eggs and eggs Bennie - and our server, Bella, was delightful. I highly recommend Laziza for a casual but upscale Sunday brunch (or any meal, really)!

  The atmosphere doesn’t even feel like you’re in downtown Kent. It’s so cozy and intimate. The food is beyond phenomenal, the filet melts in your mouth like butter and you will not find a better lobster tail in the state of Ohio. Our waitress Bella was so sweet and provided us with the most extraordinary service. Ryan and staff will treat you like family and will bring more than just flavor to the table. I can’t say enough about this beautiful restaurant!

  Laziza has great food and even better service. Our server Bella was amazing. She constantly checked in on us and made sure we had everything we needed. My water glass was never lower than half and my drink was never empty. I definitely will be going back

  Laziza was THE PERFECT location in Kent,Ohio to host a surprise anniversary party for 50 people. Cassandra and Ryan, the friendly owners, were gracious with their time and efforts to make this event so special and personal. They worked with my vision and made great suggestions with how they could assist and worked with my budget. The second level dining area was the perfect location to keep it intimate. We cannot say enough about the food and speciality cocktail that was served at the bar upstairs!! Delicious!! The staff seemed to be everywhere at once without distracting from the intimate feeling of our event. They were attentive to the guests and made sure everyone’s needs were met. My husband and I were so grateful for the whole Laziza family and the care and hospitality they offered us on this special occasion.

  The Laziza restaurant is clean and crisp, seating is tabletop only, but comfortable. Weird note, there is no salt and pepper on the table, which to me is usually the head chef's decision and not an oversite. Generally, I would not be bothered by this, but there seemed to be an overall blandness to almost everything we ordered and I think a little seasoning was in need. Service staff are kind and accommodating. We felt welcomed from the onset. Bathrooms were clean, but the water flow in the sink was almost non-existent...very hard to rinse your hands thoroughly. And, I cannot imagine how this affects the wait staff with this necessary and frequent task. Now, onto the drink and food. We tried some of their cocktails, and they were well made and well portioned. However, they were light on the alcohol and a little pricey, but that seems to be the industry standard on both fronts these days. When a cocktail is almost virginal...I would never place a second order or ever reorder at their price-point. ($14 for a espresso martini) We also ordered four of their appetizers, the chick peas, the ricotta, the hummus, and the chicken skewers. Nothing stood out and seemed under seasoned and too subtle in flavor. The toast tips that accompanied several of the appetizers were nicely toasted and a hearty bread, but the oil drizzling lacked any discernable flavor, so I unsure if it was supposed to be olive oil. The only appetizer I might consider reordering is the creamy ricotta...it has potential. I also had the tomato soup. It was ruddy in texture and too thick. Once you eat the small toppings, the soup is boring. I am unsure I will return to Laziza, but in the spirit of fairness, I may since I hadn't tried any of their entrees.
