We love Lucia's and try to go back every other week! Can't beat the Chicken or Veal Marsala, Scaloppine Abruzzese, and their salad dressing on the Insalata Lucia is fabulous! Can't go wrong. Everything we have is delicious. The staff is friendly, attentive and knowledgeable. Service is a smile. I highly recommend this restaurant!

When I go out to a higher end steak house I am going out for the service and ambiance. The service was amazing - waiter and management. The atmosphere in the restaurant itself is a little bright and open - would Like a bit more closed in ambiance but the service made up for it.

I have an incredible time at Guilia! The waitress recommended a great sweeter white wine, and the focaccia bread was delicious. The portion size of the pappardelle was slightly smaller than average but it was very tasty!
