A few truffle flavor mushrooms for the mushroom Alfredo sauce takes it higher level

Birria ravioli
Delicious meal... some fresh Parmesan or sliced slivers of Italian cheeses would take it higher level
Rigatoni with Cajun Alfredo and Grilled Chicken
Tasty bread
The best of both worlds; one white sauce pasta and one red sauce pasta
My go-to order: cajun alfredo with broccoli, fried chicken cutlet and mushrooms with ziti
Saltimbocca: 'Chicken cutlet, prosciutto, caramelized onions, spinach, red grapes, marsala cream, fried sage'
Nice mellow seating
Reasonable costs for 2 meal portions

I recently enjoyed a Chicken Alfredo with broccoli, and it was absolutely delicious! The pasta was cooked perfectly, the Alfredo sauce was creamy and rich, and the broccoli added a nice touch of freshness. The portion size was just right, and I left feeling satisfied. Highly recommend going there for any new comers.

There are so many pasta-bilities at Lilly's. Why? Because you have the option to customize your pasta the way you want it. And you bet I'm going to customize to my hearts content. I'm personally a white sauce person so my pasta creation is always a little heavier BUT that's how I like it. My fool proof go-to pasta creation is cajun alfredo with broccoli, fried chicken cutlet and mushrooms with ziti. I've been having the same order for years since the good ol' college days and it always hits the spot. When I'm feeling like I should be healthier, I go for the classic red sauce. My healthy go-to creation is the tomato basil with meatballs, broccoli and mushrooms with ziti. The homemade meatballs here are so good and highkey the highlight of this order. Each creation is made to order with their fresh pasta. There are a lot of options to customize so I'm sure you'll be able to create your dish the way you want it all while it being reasonably priced. I still don't understand how and why pasta elsewhere is SO pricey?! Lilly's is a moderately sized corner shop that serves the Mission Hill/Longwood Medical Area. It's the perfect midday meal at school/work or a late night meal back at the apartment. They have a few bar seating areas so you can dine-in. It's more of a casual pasta place that has (in my experience) friendly staff. I always walk out of Lilly's full (when I dine-in) and happy. I'll be back- again and again!

The Saltimbocca was recommended to me by a staff member, and it did not disappoint! If you're craving a cream-sauce pasta comfort food (among other things) with generous portions, this is the place for you! I was a little nervous about ordering the dish as takeout, but after a quick stir it tasted (probably) just as good as eating at the restaurant. It's a small storefront with a lot cooking inside! I hope to return and immediately recommended it to friends and family.

My first time visiting this little restaurant, it is really cute inside. It has so many options for pasta and sauces and add-ons. It's mind-boggling great selection of subs appetizers and salads. I got the Maurey and I would say it's one of the better pasta meals. I've had a long time this is definitely a five star restaurant, but there was no lump crab on my Marty so I'm going to deduct one point. Jose was very, very friendly very outgoing explained everything in great detail and it was delicious.

Very good home made pasta ... wax on way to North end for fresh home made pasta ....but parking impossible, Mayor didn't allow outside dining there as well... this was easier ..,Excellent fusilli pasta, mushroom Alfredo sauce and grilled chicken... choose your own combo.Came will nice fresh bread, huge portions, excellent views of Mission Hill, church, Boston skylines. Excellent manager or owner, efficient, quick and will definitely visit again... nice vibe, inside and outside seating. Historic Church across the street worth a visit after to thank the higher powers for a great meal.m

Ordered from Uber Eats. For this restaurant you can choose your own type of pasta when ordering. The food was hugely portioned and they did not skimp out on the meat and the shrimp. They use bigger shrimps unlike some restaurants that have been slowly shrinking their shrimps to smaller sizes. Will definitely order again when in the Boston area.

What a great find. Little unassuming place on the corner across from the basilica. The food is fresh and the staff friendly. If you are in the mood for pasta, really good pasta, forget the north end, come here. Don't come for linen tables cloths or a fine dining experience, you won't find it, you will find incredible pasta dishes with counters at the window for people watching. Well worth the visit.

I used to love this place and would order from there once every week or two. Then, they jacked their prices way up. Tried it again recently and the quality was the same. You're not getting gourmet food. It's just not even close to being worth the price anymore.
