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.

    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.

    The food was delicious and the portions ample. The restaurant is small and can become noisy when crowded. Request a booth to soften the noise level.
