Restaurant is very nice, and clean. The chalkboard wall in the booths are a nice touch. I ordered the salmon over rice with black beans and peppers, and I t was delicious. The crab cakes we ordered for a starter were very good as well. The service was friendly and attentive. We will be back.

We drove in from Ottumwa heading to Minneapolis and stopped in for Sunday brunch. The selection was pleasantly interesting and the food itself was great. I believe you will enjoy it!

Obviously a chef who is highly capable of preparing quality food made from fresh ingredients. Gluten-free pasta was cooked perfectly (a rare accomplishment in public dining). Balanced flavors + clean presentation. Wine list carefully crafted, as well. Alicia (server) was pleasant, polite, attentive, and helpful. Food-awareness: Bravo !!

When visiting Fairfield, Ila is typically on the list of places that we MUST visit. The food is beautifully prepared and creative, while still being down home. I love the story behind the name and the inspiration for this talented chef. (I won't give you the info. You need to go to Ila and read the menu) It seems every time I am in Fairfield, it is the lunch hour, so I haven't had the ability to try dinner or brunch yet. If lunch is any indication though, I will happily visit there for one of the other meals, when possible. The atmosphere is comfortable and fun. (I especially love the chalkboard for the graffiti artist within.) I wish I could give it a complete five stars but the decor leaves a little to be desired. It lacks a little intimacy or something. The further to the back you go, the more it loses it's appeal. I can't quite explain why I feel that way...but just being real. BUT...I will return time and time again for the amazing food!!!

A big town ambience in our sweet small town. Liked their service. Had chicken Marsala first time, and so I don't have anything to compare with. Teriyaki chicken breast sandwich is good but not something to crave for. Overall, it's a good place for a pleasant evening.

My fiancé and I happened upon this unassuming little resataraunt on a sunday funday. It has a very charming and inviting atmosphere. The food was excellent. They also had a decent beer and wine list.

During my most recent visit to Fairfield, I was able to grab some Italian at Ila. It's a very pleasant restaurant with friendly service. Ila is not the best Italian food I've ever tasted but it definitely tastes like it's made with care. You know that feeling where food makes you feel good because the individuals making the food actually care about their craft - yeah, that feeling. I loved their polenta. It was great. Their bruschetta was also very good. But the polenta really stole the show. Usually I get stuck having mediocre polenta but Ila has some of the best tasting polenta I've tasted in a very long while. I think I actually liked the starters more than my main dish. I got their baked rigatoni and it was tasty. Their portions are huge so be prepared to share! It's definitely Italian family style Italian food. And beware, their plates always come out piping hot so you may have to wait a few moments before you dig in. Service is wonderful. We had a very friendly waiter who made our entire dinner pleasant. Unfortunately I don't recollect his name but I'd definitely recognize him whenever I'm back at Ila. Overall, Ila was another pleasant experience during my stay in Fairfield. I'll be back for the wonderful ambiance and service. But I'll definitely be back for their polenta. Oh man, I'm salivating just thinking about it right now.

Just had DIVINE meal at Ila. Butternut squash lasagna special made with crepes was a masterpiece.

One step away from being great, though I can't put my finger on what could shift them toward it. Some of the BEST lasagna I've ever had, but their bruschetta leaves something to be desired. Inspired, but could use a menu renovation. Decor is quirky and fun, but small. The pool sticks on the wall made me want to shoot a game or two while we waited, but there aren't any pool tables. Like I said, food is so close to being great. They'll get there soon. Worth checking out.

I have been many times for brunch, and once for their dinner menu. Their brunch menu is quite the mix, so there is a high chance that everyone in your brunch party will find something they like. Possibly the best pancake I've ever had, but nothing really innovative or hip on the brunch menu. Their dinner menu is full of innovative dishes, so I'm updating my review to add on a star. I love the music, and you will find marble bistro tables toward the back of the restaurant (my favorite!) They have some of the traditional brunch-y cocktails on the menu, like mimosas. But, you won't find an espresso bar here. Their coffee isn't bad. Service is always very pleasant! Now that I've tried their desserts, I can recommend them wholeheartedly. I got to try 3 different desserts since everyone at my table ordered something different. The salted caramel pudding was amazing, carrot cake simple and delicious, and bread pudding was not dry at all - absolutely amazing!

Just great. Friendly prompt service. Food came out quickly, and was presented in an appealing way. The menu here is based around quality ingredients and thoughtful preparation. It shows. Dinner for 2 came in at around $90 with tip. Reasonable, and fair for what you get here. Pleasant atmosphere, and managed well as far as I could tell. Well done.

I've gone to this restaurant a handful of times. The food is really good but the staff could pick up the pace a bit. Each time I've gone, busy or not, the wait for my food is considerably long. Pricey but worth it!

Great addition to Fairfield. Consistently good food, friendly staff, and great atmosphere. I recommend the sweet leaf burrito, minestrone soup, and they have an excellent Sunday brunch. Also, they make all of their desserts in house, highly recommend the tiramisu and chocolate pie. Cons, salads are hit or miss and the seating in the back isn't as comfortable as the front. Can't say enough good things about the friendly service.

Finally! My wish for local delicious Italian food in Fairfield, IA, has finally been fulfilled. I enjoyed my Eggplant Parmigiana entree so much on Sunday that I returned the following week and ordered the same dish. The sauce is delicious, the eggplant cooked just as I like it; crispy and flavorful but not oily. A few words of caution: When ordering an entree, the first side order of salad or soup is discounted. However, if you order both, that discount doesn't apply to the second item. For me that meant $2.00 for an okay side salad, and and additional $6.00 for a delicious bowl of soup. The atmosphere is warm and the staff is very friendly but the space could be more creatively designed for comfort, sound dampening and a more intimate dining experience. Arrive early if you wish to sit in one of the few a booths along the side walls, otherwise, you may have to sit at a table unimaginatively lined up in the middle of the floor. The interactive chalk-boards that line the dinning room walls add artistic interest and nourishing food for thought. I am already looking forward to my my next dining experience at lla's. Hopefully I'll meet you there too.

What a great addition to Fairfield! The Italian food is really good, excellent red sauce. The eggplant parm and chicken parm are both excellent. I LOVE the baked rigatoni bolognese with Italian sausage. And as Lyric mentioned, the Minestrone was excellent! Every dish my family and friends have had there has drawn raves. The only disappointment has been the deserts which we just haven't enjoyed but that has not stopped us from dining at Ila's often. If you're coming to Fairfield, try it, you'll like it!

We eat here all the time and the food is fantastic. Great wine to compliment too. If you like Eggplant Parmesan it's one of the best around. I like the chicken dishes too. Last time I was there I had the fish which was Walleye and I couldn't have been more pleased.
(5)Linda B.
Excellent service and food. I had the broccoli and sun dried tomato pasta. My husband had the rigatoni. We both thought the food was great. Good fresh bread also. Will definitely go back.
(5)Joe S.
Had Sunday brunch with two friends. We had omelettes and pancakes. All the dishes were absolutely delicious and very reasonably priced. The service was excellent and very friendly. We will definitely be going again when we're in Fairfield.
