About this restaurant

  • Charming
  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
Located at the heart of Hanover Street, Lucia Ristorante is an institution in Boston's North End. Opened in 1977, Lucia was the first restaurant to bring authentic Italian cuisine to Boston's oldest neighborhood. We continue to combine traditional Italian favorites with innovative new dishes in our distinctive atmosphere. Ample summertime patio seating is available in the newly bricked courtyard of our neighbor, St. Stephen's Church.

    I cannot say enough great things about this small piece of Heaven restaurant. The food and service was outstanding.

    Super cute old school place w a great staff from the minute we walked in. I appreciated the valet although it is cash only. That said, our food “fresh made pasta” came out in 5 minutes and was average at best . I would not go back. .

    Looking for great food at a great price, this is the place. Large portions. They prove why they have been open since 1977.

    The home made pasta is delicious. Service is very friendly. Just ignore the giggling school girls at reception. They were annoying.

    We went for a birthday dinner. If you want an overall positive experience, this is not the place. It is noisy, the front desk was disorganized and unprofessional, table service was ok. However, the food is excellent. Order takeout.
