We had a very fun and festive evening. Room was packed and lively so a little noisy but it added to our overall enjoyment.

Such a lovely experience, we went with our two young kids (3 & 1.5). They were so accommodating with the menu and the service was amazing!

Delicious food. The appetizer focaccia which accompanied the bufala mozzerella and prosciutto was a mini loaf and really special. Pasta special had mascarpone cheese and butter sauce - delicious. Special dessert of key lime was exceptional. Nice, cozy, local bistro.

We found the resturant very noisy, either side of us mainly. My main course was tasty but rather tough. (Lamb) My husband's snail were just ok

Our party of 6 arrived at 6:30 and asked to leave at 8:30 for another seating. Good server and lively atmosphere but many reminders of our 2 hour timeslot making the whole experience feeling rushed and frankly, unpleasant. The food was substandard at best and the server said they could not do separate bills for our group. Overall very disappointing especially for our dear friends who were visiting from out of town.

3rd time to Lucia and every time it’s wonderful. I always get some version of their vegetarian pasta (last time it was squash with brown butter and sage) and it never disappoints! Not a huge wine selection but I had a lovely pecorino. Will be back :).
