We had a lovely Christmas Eve dinner at Lucia's. As always, the food was excellent: We had Chicken Marsala, Veal Saltimbocca, and Chicken Saggittario, all perfectly prepared and beautifully presented. The wait staff at Lucia's is terrific -- friendly, helpful, and attentive without being intrusive.

We enjoyed dining at the chef’s counter last night. Disneyland for foodies…if you enjoy watching a professional culinary team go about its work calmly and quietly, then this is a great experience. Everything we had was incredibly delicious. Sam presented each dish to us and so we understood the creative process and overall technique. Of course, sitting there eating the prix fixe and then seeing other things come just made want to order those as well! Service with a genuine smile and among the most creative food in Cambridge. We will certainly be back. What a great place!
