Liliana, a new Italian restaurant, is now open in Woodbury.
The restaurant, helmed by the team behind Estelle and Mario’s in St. Paul, has opened its doors at 10060 City Walk Drive.
The kitchen is led by chef Kenzie Ettinger, who spent time at Saint Dinette and Mucci’s, per the Star Tribune.
Liliana’s menu is focused on house-made pastas, plus chicken parmesan, hanger steak, branzino, and some other Italian staples.

The cocktail program, led by the team from Estelle, has a solid list of amaro and vermouth, as well as cocktails, Italian wines, and a quartet of appealing non-alcoholic cocktails.
Shortly before opening, co-owner Peter Sebastian sold his two Donut Star locations in Woodbury and Lakeville to Scott and Kiley Van Daalen and Brady Heerema, owners of Tapestry Coffee. Sebastian had taken over Donut Star three years prior to the sale.
Liliana is now taking reservations.
