About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Charming
  • 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.

    Last time I come, the carroza was undercooked the cheese was not melted and our meals were under seasoned, service was slow. Don’t remember it being like this last time I came, unfortunate.

    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!
