Lucia’s rarely misses or has an off night. We started with the bacon wrapped dates and Arancini. 2 of the best Italian appetizers I’ve had at any Italian restaurant. Finished with the seafood alfredo, which is a really great dish. It’s a nice portion, lots of shrimp and lobster. And the noodles were cooked perfectly. We will see you soon Lucia’s!

Went here on Saturday night for a date with my boyfriend. We had made a reservation online. I was extremely impressed with the taste and quality of everything we ordered. Calamari was lightly bartered and fresh, not heavy. House Italian dressing on the salad was delicious. I was blown away by my limoncello pasta. Portion sizes were smaller than I expected but quality was incredible. With the bread and oil and salad, I was full. My boyfriend loved his fettuccine alfredo. We finished it off with an incredible pot de creme that was so rich and fluffy. Our server was so sweet and helpful. It took a good amount of time for each course to come out but it gave us time to digest and also it was a Saturday night. We will definitely be back.

We have gone there three times and the first time we stopped in, is the reason we kept coming back. Chris who works the bar is incredibly friendly and just an overall great guy. Service was very fast and my husband’s favorite is the chicken Parm. Personally I like the drinks- they make them very well. Stop by and say hi to Chris tell him we sent you, and you won’t be disappointed.

All of our food was delicious. It was a little salty, which wasn’t a problem for us but might bother some people. The calamari was crisp, the risotto was SO creamy, and the short ribs, scallops, and shrimp were all cooked to perfection. The bread was freshly baked and still warm. Our server was so friendly and helpful. A delightful experience all around!

Amazing itialian restaurant in the old Town of Ayer! This place is small but it’s got big flavor in its dishes. The menu is full of Italian classics with a price that is relatively affordable to how much portion you get. Along with the food, the atmosphere is just as local as the restaurant and more modern than Italian. The staff was very kind to even need and happy to have a fun conversation without having to feel rushed. Will highly recommend going here for a pleasant date or in the mood for some authentic Italian.

I decided to stay local for my Anniversary! And Boy was I surprised. I made reservations that day. Upon arrival we were met by the Host who had immediately took my wife and I to our table and wished us a Happy Anniversary! While being seated I couldn’t help to notice that this place was nice, the seating comfortable, and staff especially our waitress was amazing. This is in Ayer? The Food was Fantastic!! Check them out!!!

The ambiance is cozy and elegant with a fire place and small, tasteful bar. The white linem table clothes adorn tables with soft, lit candles. For starters, the bread is homemade and out of this world with the oil and herbs. We are not talking store bought anything here! The service is top-notch and friendly. Our server, Ryan and (spelling?) was knowledgeable in helping my husband decide on the pork cheek, a meal you can only get in Italy and in this restaurant with polenta and an amazing blend of beans and other great ingredients. My pappardella lobster with truffle and pasta was probably the best meal that I have had in a long time, ever? The pasta is also homemade and fresh. It is light and yet filling, but it does not outshine the lobster. We are talking large chunks of fresh lobster meat! The butter sauce made it all wonderful with zucchini and aquarium mixed in for added flavor and color. My son’s salad was great with the substitution of shrimp for the steak, just a personal preference. We are definitely looking forward to coming back. The menu items are priced high, but they are not skimping on the meal. The food is worth every penny!
