    My husband and I have been going to Lucias to celebrate our anniversary for over 30 years. We have never been disappointed with the food or service. The menu has everything from soup to pasta to meat and seafood, all authentic Italian and delicious. The wait staff is extremely knowledgeable about the menu and always make our visits very enjoyable.

    We decided to give Lucia's another try after having a poor experience a year ago well we will not go back for a while. We sat at the bar because it was wide open. The bartender handed us a menu and a paper with specials on it. (I found out later as I listened to another waitress read the specials that our paper was missing some and one that I would have tried). We had the Caprese salad there is definitely not enough balsamic glaze to flavor. Most important I had the Veal Marsala my husband had the Veal Saltimbocca and they both tasted the same. The alleged sauce was a mix of pasta water and Marsala wine. Veal Marsala is suppose to have a thicker brown Marsala and mushroom gravy so much so some restaurants serve it with mashed potatoes. The flavors of both left a lot to be desired. If you looking for straight pasta and meatballs or parmigiana you might be alright. I wish I had a better review because they are the only show in town with Italian food close by but I will make the ride somewhere else for a while before I try it again.

    Best pappardelle I’ve ever had! We had a reservation for outside due to COVID concerns - heater was not working so it was a chilly experience. Princessa made the experience wonderful! Would have given all 5 stars if the heater worked. Would come back when outside is available again.

    Food and service excellent, as usual here. Once again, the noise level was at times off putting, mostly because of a nearby table of 10-12 diners out for a good time and being extremely loud. They quieted some when the food was served, but it was painful at times before that. Suggestion: have a private area/room for large parties like this. It's really a matter of size.

    Our server was good but clearly had too many tables. We walked in and she was on the patio then proceeded to tell us she was on both sides of the dining room. The host apologized when we first sat as the waitress would be a while because “she was catching up on other tables”. We wanted some things and she was no where to found. Then saw she had so many tables. When she was with us she was great, personable and attentive. Just spread to thin.

    Actually, we were very disappointed in our meals. The shrimp scampi didn’t have any flavor. Neither did the chicken Limon very very bland. My husband wasn’t thrilled with the veal Marsala Some thing missing, and every dish we had to drown it in grated cheese to get a flavor

    I brought my girlfriend to her favorite restaurant and it didn’t disappoint. The food was delicious, the service fantastic and the ambiance fun and lively. The only thing I didn’t care for was a special I ordered. It was prosciutto, ricotta cheese wrapped with a raw zucchini wrap. It was a cold appetizer that could have been a lot better if it was breaded, fried and served hot. Everything else molto Bene. To finish the even off I enjoyed the best cannoli I’ve had. She enjoyed the cannoli as well!

    This was our first time there, we walked in and my first impression was, wow how cute and italian rustic it was. The bar was full and had a great energy. We were sitted in the back the whole restaraunt was pretty full, which makes me happy for them because any small business needs all they can get. Our server was really nice and on top of it. I ordered a wine #202 and I am sorry but it tasted like it was going bad, I order this wine quite a bit from other restaraunts so I know how it should taste the server was kind enough to take it back and I order a house cab but I think that the bar just gave me back my bad wine because that tasted just like the first. Apps we then orded fried calamari and fried mozzarella it was delish. Then entries were ordered I can't speak for 1 of our party but the other 2 people I was with said the same thing I said the food had no taste at all 3 different meals and they all had no flavor.

    I’ve dined at Lucia on a few different occasions. My most recent visit was exceptional. To be truthful the food is always sensational. For example the wild mushroom/cheese bruschetta is so tasty.. especially with their signature dish called Marco Polo. It’s absolutely delicious, made with fresh seafood served over homemade pasta with red sauce! We also ordered the Shrimp Scampi which was delicious as well! But I would be remiss if I didn’t comment on the amazing skills of our excellent waitress, Leilyz, she was attentive, not invasive, and pleasant beyond belief. She was a breath of sunshine after a long day! She made our dining experience really lovely. In my opinion she’s an asset to the Lucia restaurant.

    This is a great restaurant.....All four of us had different meals and all four of us were duly impressed. The food was very tasty, the home made Fusilli was delicious and the portions were perfect. Our server, Kathlean B., was excellent, very personable and knowledgeable, no rushing through courses. This is my second time here and we all agreed that a return was a must do.

    The good was good but although they have a huge load of wines as decoration they only had one kind of Pinot Grigio . Indoors it was super noisy. They have the BEST CAPPUCCINO and I am a coffee freak so I have tried countless places. And the food was good not the best. Great pastries !!!!! I would go back outdoors though.

    The Veal and Melanzane Parmiggiana, bread and Montepulciano wine were fantastic. The Carbonara was so-so but all around we will go back 100! Annetta our server was excellent - she wound up with a lot of tables and wasn’t able to attend to us as promptly later on.
