We were lucky to hold our wedding at Ristorante Lucia. Everything about our day was perfect, thanks to Cristina and her team. Cristina was extremely helpful and accommodating leading up to the day, helping us figure out the best layout, menu, and details for our event. She was flexible and supportive with all our questions and requests, such as allowing us to have a Mariachi band play in the restaurant, and helping us pivot when it was raining during our outdoor cocktail hour. During the party, our guests had an amazing experience and were raving about the delicious food, drinks, and generous service. The catering room was beautiful and perfect for an intimate event, with enough space for a seated dinner, mingling, and a cozy dancefloor. We are so thankful to the team for making our special day an amazing experience for us and all of our guests.

A local gem of a restaurant. Food / pizza/ pasta/ salads are consistently well made and fresh. There is something for everyone on the menu and if you have dietary needs, they will accommodate that. Very warm and pretty inside and lovely outdoor seating as well. Our service has always been exceptional as well. Also good for takeout.

Had my daughter’s baby shower here on Saturday. All I can say is it was amazing. The private room was spacious, wait staff was on point and accommodating. Food was delicious!!! Perfect party! We order their pizza on a weekly basis, and I have to say it’s the best in this area!! Thank you Cristina for all your help!!

I can’t wait to go back! What a treat. The seating is arranged perfectly! You don’t feel overwhelmed with multiple tables surrounding you. The food is delicious. I have never enjoyed Eggplant Parmigiana the way I did this evening, the risotto with shrimp is a must-try as well. Our server was fantastic. It took a little longer than expected to place an order but once we did, everything came out on a timely basis with no issues.

I came here for lunch to celebrate my birthday and the experience was wonderful from beginning to end! Great food, drinks, and atmosphere. The terrace was clean, serene, and there’s a nice sense of privacy. The waitress had overheard it was my birthday and completely surprised us. This shows how attentive and caring the waitstaff are! The hazelnut gelato was perfetto and bonus points that I can speak Italian with my waiter, he was such a delight!

The beautiful landscaping demonstrates the care and effort the owners have invested in this little gem. We had a lovely early dinner and sat outside in the wisteria arbor, and our waiter Jose could not have been nicer. All the staff was attentive and the food was excellent. There are many choices for food and budget from pizzas to full dinners. The beautifully landscaped outside seating among the gardens and arbors delights the senses and creates a lovely atmosphere.

We held our wedding at Lucia’s in October 2023 and it was just so special. The little party cottage is perfect for a small event and can easily be transformed into anything. The outdoor area was perfect for a cocktail hour! Christina and her team were wonderful and accommodated everything we needed. All my guests loved the food, the appetizers, the extra little desserts they got us as well! I recommend the party cottage for anyone looking for somewhere to host.
