Great local restaurant. Good food, service and ambiance. Highly recommend.

Always a outstanding meal and service a hidden jewel in Ayer

Excellent food and service. The blood orange cosmo was top notch!

Excellent food, ambience and service. Our table was located next to the piano player which made it a fraction loud but overall , highly recommended!

Food was excellent

Lucia's is such a wonderful restaurant. Outside dining has such a great cozy feeling, attentive wait staff and and lots of outside heaters to keep you warm. Highly recommend!

Loved the piano and harmonica player!
Food and service were great. Wonderful little place to have in just a small town!

The flavors were amazing, wife and I both had two different chicken dishes and the chicken was dry. We will be back to give them another try.

Food is amazing. Unique and well-prepared. Had nice servers and the back seating with heaters is much more quiet than the street side.
They know how to cook fish!

We had a wonderful dinner Friday night at Lucias! We ate out on the back patio which was set up so nicely, great spacing and cozy ambiance. Would highly recommend.

My husband and I enjoyed a delicious meal at Lucia's recently. Due to COVID we dined outside on the sidewalk. In light of the circumstance, we had a very pleasant experience. The food, as usual, was delicious and the service attentive.

Always great!

They now have a nice outdoor area behind the building that is away from the road.
Food was great.

Food mediocre street side dining service excellent

Excellent, friendly staff and outstanding cuisine, as usual.

Outdoor seating was safely spread out and very pretty, with heaters set up for colder weather. The harvest chicken was phenomenal and our server Jamie was excellent! Overall great experience - will be back soon!

Why go to the North End? Save your money, avoid the traffic and difficulty parking. There is better Italian food just around the corner. Nice music by Pat Gallagher and Gwenn Vivian!

wonderful as always-so nice to eat out locally with such excellent quality!

Always outstanding! They did an awesome job with outdoor seating and making that available through the pandemic. I hope it they can keep the outdoor seating beyond 2020.

food was great
we haven't been since before the pandemic began
we'll be back

Food and cocktails were quite good- our server was very attentive yet new so still learning the menu - my favorite place these days...covid has not impacted the food quality...not true of many places...

Beautiful outdoor ambiance!

Food was wonderful per usual. Jewel in the crown for Italian cuisine in Central Massachusetts. I am thankful for their fine food.

The lobster stack & steak was incredible. We ate out back with live dinner music and it was a real treat to get out and enjoy life again. We just can't find anything on Lucia's menu that we don't love.

Closest feel and ambience to an actual Italian restaurant of anyplace I have visited outside Italy. Excellent food, wine, and service. Outstanding music on patio in pandemically responsible setting.

The Back Alley Bistro is a wonderful idea. Tastefully decorated makes it feel like you are in Italy. As always the food was fantastic. Complements to the Chef!

So yummy! My husband and I enjoyed our date night with smiles!! Thank you 😄❤️

It was a perfect night with amazing food and service

Lobster stack is the best thing I’ve had all summer! Exceptional food, cocktails, and service!

We chose the back alley sitting and it was like being in Italy. They had local musicians playing and it set the mood for such a romantic date. We had a great time.

Fantastic, food was as tasty as it was beautifully presented. Waitress and music excellent. Loved the back patio.

Very nice atmosphere and great staff. The food was great!

They don't have inside seating yet, but they have done an excellent job of outside seating behind the restaurant. They cleaned up a great patio area that makes outside eating a joy. There are also tables in the front, on the street, but I don't know how those are. The food is very good and reasonably priced.

First, I will say that the host and server were both amazing, the service is top notch.

I would certainly recommend, to anyone making plans to go, that if you want to sit outside, request sitting in back. Although the front was set up nicely, the traffic level was too loud.

As far as dinner, I was having a bit of menu envy, as the 3 others at my table made some smart, delicious looking choices. I ordered the heirloom tomato salad that was a special, and was very disappointed with it. It was obviously not made fresh that day, so the tomato skin was a bit tough, and the cucumbers were not a fresh white in color, but definitely been sitting in balsamic vinegar for entirely too long. The flavors were fine, and I ate it, but definitely wouldn't recommend for sure. I followed the salad with the butternut ravioli listed under the appetizer section. The ravioli was fabulous, but it was swimming, and i mean swimming in sauce. That much sauce was absolutely not necessary. Outside of those two dishes, every other dish that came to the table was amazing, and my friends are still talking about it.

I will certainly go again, as I have been there before, and the meal was amazing; I just made some bad choices this time around.

As always, the food was exceptional! We went with specific entres in mind and ended up trying 2 totally different dishes that were amazing! Love the summer menu.
The outdoor seating was great. Next time would probably request the back seating as the traffic was a little loud or make a later reservation so we can enjoy the ambiance of the lights.

The food was scrumptious. It had an elegant atmosphere and they do a good job taking care of their guests.

We had a lovely meal last Friday night on the new back patio. It was decorated very nicely with matching outdoor rugs under each table. The waitress was excellent! I felt like the outdoor entertainment was a tiny bit too loud, and I thought it was odd that the entree, Steak Au poivre, did not come with any sauce on top of it; rather just the accompanying raviolis did. The salads were plentiful and the eggplant parm is the best in the entire state - not kidding- perfectly breaded and crunchy, not soggy and limp like some places.

Fantastic outdoor space behind the building! Very pretty-food was great as was as was the service! Will be back!

Out door seating in the back is beautiful! Very good service and food

Lucia's always provides a really nice night out, and they're still doing a wonderful job during Covid with their al fresco dining options. The set up outside is really nice, the food was still awesome, and the service prompt and friendly. I would definitely suggest this for a nice, safe night out.
