Fia restaurant is one of the most beautiful restaurants you'll ever go to. The ambiance is incredible, the restrooms are clean and nice, the service is amazing, and the food is impeccable.
Fia’s charming plant-lined garden patio is romantic enough for a date but casual enough for any occasion. Dishes like chicken “Parmesan” with buffalo mozza, and handmade capellini with lobster Bolognese provide much-needed comfort. Collins also makes occasional nods to his British roots like beef Wellington with bacon-wrapped asparagus.
