I had the French onion soup which lacked flavor, but the bang bang calamari was very good. The lobster linguine was bland, even though the description said it had Calabrian chilies and pecorino romano. The Lobster meat in the shell was good, but the lobster pieces in the pasta were dry. The tiramisu was light and tasty even though it was missing mascarpone and coffee flavor. My dining companions had the Seabass, haddock, and fillet mignon, which they said they enjoyed.very much

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.
