Our Server Thomas was amazing with my 12 year old son who is a foodie. Engaged him with talking about what was in the dishes we ordered. Other nice restaurants would seem put out by having kids there but Thomas was wonderful and encouraging to my son to pursue his passion for good food.

Very disappointed. Risotto was crispy. Waitress never came around. Espresso martinis wrong. We have always loved Lucia’s but this visit was not worth the value.

Our server Jared was amazing. He was very informative and helped to make our selection. He went above and beyond to make our experience delightful. It was my birthday and he made sure our selections were spot on. Will recommend Lucia's and ask for Jared.
