I came here for restaurant week and loved it. I had the spinach manicotti as my main course. All the food was great. The appetizers and dessert were excellent. I shall return next time I am in town.

I’ve been to this restaurant a few times for lunch–pre-Covid. It was fairly good at that time. We were celebrating a couple of birthdays and my friends wanted Italian food so I suggested A La Lucia.

Great service. Everyone was very attentive. The spinach manicotti was good as well as the vegetable soup. The Caesar salad was good. It was authentic even down to the two fish that came with it. I would go back.

I think of A La Lucia as a more upscale neighborhood Italian restaurant. It is located in a more residential area far off the King Street dining area. Their pastas are all good and I particularly like their red sauce.

Very nice neighborhood restaurant with a good- sized menu. All the three of our dishes were excellent and the service was good.

We went last Saturday to A Lucia, and the food was pretty authentic. I ordered the half spaghetti a la boloñesa, and my partner ordered the half linguini with clams, and we also have their chocolate cake with gelato. For us, the portions were perfect since the half allows you to get a more European portion size, which is enough for us, but I would recommend getting the full portion size if you are looking for a more traditional American portion size.

Good American Italian food. Price points are on parr with neighborhood. Good lunch specials. Got the manicotti, eggplant rollitini and some wine. The bread was super good as well. I definitely will be back. Hospitality was good with active food runners

We made a reservation but still had to wait over thirty minutes to be seated. Host was not forthcoming about the wait and just told us to hang out in the bar, where we waited and received zero service. When we were finally seated, we got very little attention from waitress. It took close to two hours to complete our visit from walking through the door to leaving. I understand it was an unexpectedly busy night, but the least they could have done was comp us an appetizer or couple glasses of cheap wine. If we’d known our reservation would count for nothing, we would have just gone somewhere else. The food was still pretty decent, but nothing I can’t make at home. We’re not regulars, but we’ve come here several times over the years. This will be our last.

Lot of homemade pasta and sauce. I overheard the owner talking to some customers about how he eats fish everyday and gets in-season fresh fish for the restaurant. He was happily offering samplers from vegetable dishes. Sounded like a genuine person interested in offering honest good food.
