Livia Italian Eatery

Livia Italian Eatery is a Northern Italian restaurant known for handmade pastas, fresh greens, flatbreads and house specialty entrées, including its crowd-favorite New Zealand lamb chops. The kitchen sources ingredients locally and farm-to-fork where it can, and the menu also offers handcrafted cocktails, beers and regional Italian-inspired wines. Since opening in May 2017, it has built a following for its small plates and rustic desserts.

Reservations can be made by phone or through Resy, and takeout orders can be placed online for curbside pickup. Weekday lunch specials run from 11 AM to 3 PM, and brunch and weekend specials are served Saturday and Sunday. The restaurant hosts private dining and catering, with off-site events of 20 or more guests booked through a form and smaller in-house events handled by calling the restaurant. It is on South Third Street in downtown Geneva, Illinois, in the historic shopping district and a short walk from the Metra.
