Away from King St. eateries and truly a neighborhood gem. I have recommeded A La Lucia to others and would definely do so again -- and will return in the future.3/15/2013 12:00:00 AMThis was our first visit toThis was our first visit to A La Lucia, after being recommended to us by close friends who live in Alexandria. The food was delicious; the wine list is extensive and well-priced. The back room is very loud if it is full; didn't bother us but worth noting. All-in-all, excellent meal served with no pretension. We will definitely return.3/15/2013 12:00:00 AMReservations not honored...It was our first time visiting this restaurant. We made a reservation through Open Table. We arrived on time at 8 p.m. and the hostest stated she would seat us shortly. We pinged her periodically, but at 8:45, we told her we were going to leave. They finally seated us near a noisy group about ten to nine. The food was good, not outstanding; however, the service was very good. The hostest sent us complimentary lemon drop drinks to make up for our wait, but we will not be returning to the restaurant. If you order off the fixed price menu, expect your portions to be smaller. Overall, good, not great.3/9/2013 12:00:00 AMThis was our first time atThis was our first time at this restaurant. We were in the area at a swim meet for our grandson and took advantage of Alexandria's Restaurant week. The restaurant had an excellent selection for restaurant week. My wife and I thought the service and food was very nice. If we were in the area again we would go back to the restaurant. The desserts especially the pistacho gelato were excellent.1/20/2013 12:00:00 AM
