About this restaurant

  • Charming
  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
Located at the heart of Hanover Street, Lucia Ristorante is an institution in Boston's North End. Opened in 1977, Lucia was the first restaurant to bring authentic Italian cuisine to Boston's oldest neighborhood. We continue to combine traditional Italian favorites with innovative new dishes in our distinctive atmosphere. Ample summertime patio seating is available in the newly bricked courtyard of our neighbor, St. Stephen's Church.

    I went to Lucia because it was featured in some articles on the north end. I had high expectations. I thought the food was average and the service was lackluster. I don’t think I would recommend it.

    Awesome! Big pleasant surprise. Great vibe, ordered the house Chianti which was delicious. Pollo Focaccia and Marco Pollo were both terrific. Service was friendly and fast. I haven’t rated a restaurant this high in a long time. Delicious, fun and great service. Go!

    My dish was missing an ingredient. The kitchen corrected it, but for the house specialty dish, you’d think they’d get it right the first time.

    Food was good, service was good, food comes out very quickly, so if ordering an appetizer wait a little while till you order your main course, but they didn’t seem to rush you out. So I would highly recommend this restaurant

    Decent. Food was good for the price, but I’ve had much better on Hanover st. The homemade pasta was the highlight.
