👍👍 If you haven’t been to Li-o-la, I am telling you: make the trip! This place’s food is mind-blowing. Their pizzas are divine, their burgers are amazing and their pasta is a near-religious experience. The puttanesca is glorious and absolutely a must try! I can’t actually rave about this place enough....
