Lisi Italian

We’ve been to Lisi a number of times and always have a great meal and a good time. The hot greens appetizer is so unique and delicious (if you like spicy things!). We’ve had great service every time and have never felt rushed despite the line of people always waiting to get in. Shout out to Brandon tonight who went above and beyond to make sure we got the info we needed when picking out a bottle of wine and for generally being absolutely on top of things when bringing out the rest of our food. He made it feel like we were his only table even though we saw him hustling elsewhere when he wasn’t waiting on us. Love Lisi, arrive at 4:30 if you want to get in without a wait.

Location, atmosphere, service, food and wine were excellent! The staff was knowledgable and generous with their time. It was a relaxed atmosphere of people you could tell appreciated the food and effort by the restaurant. The food was authentic but I think enjoyable for any Italian food lover. It was our first visit but will now be our go to Italian spot!

My Husband and I ate there last evening. We both had the Veal Parm. It was delicious! You got a ton of food. My Husband's only wish was the veal would have been pounded thinner. Would definitely have this again! Plenty of leftovers for tonight. My only complaint is; the music was WAY too loud. It was hard to have a conversation with the music blasting. Also, as an Italian myself, would love to hear Italian music, it would make the mood much nicer and calmer than the rock music that was being played. Thank you!

Excellent food! We got a burrata appetizer which was great and two different kinds of ravioli. One was stuffed with lobster in a sherry cream sauce and the other was short ribs in a mushroom cream sauce. Pasta was cooked perfectly and the fillings were excellent with a decent quantity of filling in each ravioli. They have an extensive wine list as well. Only thing we didn't love was the tiramisu - it was just okay and the top layer of cream had a bit of a weird consistency but everything else was spot on. We were there on the early side for dinner (a little after 5p) and the place was already full so plan accordingly since they don't take reservations.

I think this is THE best Italian food I had in a long time if ever. We got the Arugula side salad, Cavatelli alla vodka which was amazing and Porcini Ravioli and it was phenomenal. Tiramisu and their gelato was so good too!! We got there at 4:30 on a Saturday for an early dinner with a toddler and we were sat right away- they don’t do reservations and it got very very busy right after! Staff was incredibly helpful and friendly. I cannot wait to go back!

My colleagues and I were in town on a business trip and had heard this was the best Italian restaurant in the area—and it certainly lived up to the reputation. We arrived around 7 PM on a Wednesday, only to be told there would be an hour wait. That alone spoke volumes about the restaurant’s popularity. Fortunately, we were seated after about 45 minutes at a lovely outdoor table. The weather was perfect, making the al fresco dining experience even more enjoyable.

We may have just found our new favorite Italian restaurant! The gnocchi was a fresh and surprising mouthful of perfection. The lobster ravioli was also delicious with chunks of lobster inside. The strawberry gelato was smooth and creamy. The atmosphere was trendy and the service was angelic (because our server's name was Angel and she did great). We'll definitely be going back soon!

We had the Porcini Ravioli (amazing sauce) and the Shrimp Scampi, and both were amazing. The bread is great, and so was the wine that Brandon recommended with our food.

Welcome to fine dining in Pinehurst. Here is my summary of this amazing Italian place which was recommended to us by a local and it did not disappoint. We were told to reach there early by its opening time of 4 PM or else we would have to wait. We were the second to reach there and within 15 -20 min, the entire place was packed.

The homemade Italian cuisine was exceptional. Generous portions were thoughtfully presented and accompanied by warm, house-made sourdough bread with a wonderfully delicate, melt-in-your-mouth texture. An experience that is truly worth both your time and will make your family/friends happy.
