Let me begin by saying I’m a huge fan of Lucia in Winchester. It’s one of my favorite restaurants North of Boston. Honestly it never disappoints! Today’s visit I enjoyed the Chef’s special PUMPKIN RAVIOLI with Amaretto Sauce! It was amazing as an appetizer, but would have been an excellent dinner choice as well. I shared Fried Calamari which is always delicious, I love that their batter is on the light side! Our entrees were fabulous as well.. Tagliatelle Bolognese, which is a signature dish on their menu, it’s the mist delicious combination of ground meats, red sauce and fresh pasta. My husband enjoyed his Chicken Marsala over fresh pasta which was awesome as well! The wine selection here is awesome, never disappoints! Last, but equally important is their very dedicated staff! Our favorite waitress is Lilease! I’m sure I’ve misspelled her name, so my apologies! In my opinion she’s such an asset to this restaurant, her delightful personality and knowledge of the menu makes dining at Lucia consistently a pleasure! We’ll see you again soon!

Our food was excellent! We had dumplings, wedge salad, and beef Wellington with mashed potatoes. The cook on the Wellington was perfect, and the potatoes were delicious. We sat at the bar where the vibe was upbeat and comfortable. Our bartender Pat was attentive and personable. We will definitely go back again soon!
