Wow how can this place be constantly this consistent. The service is always excellent and the food is superb. This time I was heading to Kaya for Lunch with one of my more well rounded foodie friends from out of town when he saw Lidia's he made me make a U-turn because he had always wanted to try this place and has watched a lot of her shows on PBS.
He had the wild boar ravioli which was a plate of 3 large ravioli stuffed with a very flavorful boar meat concoction. The other partner in crime had the butter nut squash ravioli which was definitely a 5 star dish. Heck next time I eat here I think I will order a main entree and the butter nut squash ravioli for desert. I'm a big polenta fan so I went for the salsiccia which had polenta and broccoli rabe and house made sausage. The polenta was cooked perfectly along with the broccoli, the sausage that is in this dish is a great mild sausage. The sausage was not overpowering or spicy.
The price for each entree was right around $16. I think that the prices are right in line for the quality of food that is offered here. I highly recommend this place. Give it a try for yourself and I am certain that I will be back.
