    It’s always awesome there. Best Italian food around and it’s like being in the north end. We love it here and are very lucky to have it right up the street.

    We were excited about trying somewhere new. My lemoncello tini was amazing. Our appetizer of short ribs - very yummy. Oh and the bread with dipping oil was outstanding! However we were disappointed in our entrees. I had the haddock and scallops - too much cheese and the fish had a fishy smell which made me think it wasn't fresh. Other half had a special of filet and lobster - it was just ok. We didn't have dessert. Not sure we'll give it a 2nd try. Our server was fun and just the right amount of attentive.

    Food was excellent. Service was exceptional. Our waitress Trisha was by far the best server we've had in recent dining experiences (at other restaurants)

    One of our favorite restaurants. We are frequent flyers here. The table we asked for (window) was provided, our server, Angela displayed the perfect amount of attention, our meal was absolutely delicious (as well as dessert - Limoncello cake!!) We will be back…. And if you haven’t yet tried this restaurant, you are missing out!!

    Really delicious food. Arancini and Caesar salads were delish -just the right amount of dressing. All the mains were great. (although the steamed broccoli just put on the plate was completely out of context for every dish. Maybe broccoli rabe or broccolini instead?) Lovely atmosphere.

    I give Lucia's 5 stars without reservation. Every aspect of the meal and service was great. Starting with the wine: the Montepulciano was excellent and reasonably priced. The appetizers were truly outstanding, the arancini being over-the-top great, as was the calamari. (Many restaurants now serve calamari with just pepper slices; but Lucia's does it right, with a good marinara sauce.) Not to be repetitious, but the entrees were, again, outstanding: pasta for my girlfriend and braised short ribs for me). We finished off with a very good tiramisu. The young Albanian woman who served us was personable, engaging and most helpful, e.g., giving us both marinara and pesto sauces for the pasta dish. Can't wait to go back!
