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.

    It was a last minute decision to try this place as I had reservations at another restaurant. I’m glad we came here. For starters, the hosts were prompt and friendly. We were led to the lower dining area, which at first we were unsure of as it looked cramped. It turned out to be cozy and nice. There was easy music piped in and we enjoyed the musical selections throughout our dinner. We ordered the calamari and bruschetta for apps, and a bottle of montepulciano d abbruzzo. Both apps were delicious. For our entrees, we ordered chicken parm, veal Marsala, linguine with clams, and a mushroom and sausage pasta. We all liked what we ordered. They were very nice to make the linguine with white wine sauce for my daughter as only the red sauce was on the menu. We chose to have dessert at one of the bakeries nearby, but am sure whatever dessert they offer would be good too. All in all, we had a pleasant dinner. This place has good food and nice ambiance.

    We went for lunch and there was only 1 server for inside the restaurant and out on the patio. Orders were incorrect and we waited quite a bit for our order to be taken and for our check. He did a nice job otherwise, he may have just been overwhelmed. It would have been nice to have a lunch menu...it was a little pricey, but the food was fine.

    Didn’t get off to a good start. Sat for nearly-5 minutes without a server coming to greet us. I turned around to look for one and one standing at the back of the restaurant noticed. She came over immediately but wasn’t real friendly. No warm hello or apologies for delay. She just asked if we had questions about the menu and if we wanted to order. She came by once more after food was delivered to check on us but never asked if we wanted another round of drinks. Was a disappointing experience. Food was very good. Had Carbonara, Chicken Parmesan, and Chicken Lucia. Calamari appetizer was just ok.

    Very rushed. Reservation at 8:00 - seated on time. Barely started eating salad when main dish was brought out. Waitress never came back to check on refills of drinks etc. we were done by 8:35 and she was giving us the check. Very disappointing. Food was good - not great.
