We came on a weekday and the whole night there weren't many people.
Sourdough focaccia ($12)- okay but wouldn't order again
Wagyu beef carpaccio ($29) - pretty decent flavours. One of the better dishes of the night
Scallops ($28) - big and juicy. I liked the apple amd watercress.
Lumache pasta ($26) - this was not bad. The pasta was well cooked. Needed a bit more cheese for that extra umph
Fregola Sarda ($26) this one felt more like a risotto. I enjoyed the texture of this pasta. The bites of pancetta added a nice savouriness
Squid ($36) - not chewy and well cooked
Truffle potatoes ($14) - don't get these. They weren't crispy enough and didn't taste like truffle at all
Ahi tuna crudo ($26) - forgettable dish. Wouldn't order again
Limoncello zabaoine ($16) - this was actually quite addictive. The portion size was huge. I felt like this one could be stronger on the lemon flavour.
Overall the dishes were all okay. Nothing amazing but nothing bad either. Service was fast. Would be okay for a regular meal but don't expect amazing food.

Very disappointed in our experience at Lucia. Food was okay. Mains took far too long to get to us after appetizers. We were rudely told that we needed to leave in 15 minutes due to the next reservation while we were still eating our pizza. Food should come out faster if they are booking reservations so close together. The server was attentive, but performatively asked us if we wanted dessert/more drinks after our supposed time was over. It felt disingenuous. We felt the pressure to leave with the other party standing over us. I have no problem spending $100+ per person on a meal, but I expect more professionalism if that’s the case. We won’t be back and will spend our money elsewhere.

Beautiful restaurant, good service and delicious food. The garage door however does not close completely, letting cold air get in. If you’re sitting close to it you’ll be very cold especially now during the colder months.

We had an outstanding experience at Lucia on Main. From the moment we arrived, the service was warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. The team went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect throughout the evening.
The food selection was truly impressive—a beautiful balance of creativity, flavour, and freshness. Every dish was thoughtfully prepared and beautifully presented. You can tell the kitchen puts passion and care into everything they serve. From appetizers to dessert, the flavours were vibrant, memorable, and absolutely delicious.
The ambiance was cozy and inviting, making it the perfect place to relax, enjoy great food, and share a wonderful evening. We left extremely satisfied and already look forward to coming back!
Highly recommended for anyone who appreciates quality food, excellent service, and an elevated dining experience.

Very loud, my friend and I could barely hear each other speak. We also sat right in front of the door and they unfortunately have nothing blocking the big entrance doors so we were very cold. Otherwise it was good.
The food was good, but the service really missed the mark. I went to Lucia for Sunday brunch, and even though the restaurant wasn’t busy, our server never checked in or offered another drink after our glasses were empty. I tried to change my order a couple of minutes after placing it — the server said she would check but never came back until she brought the original dish.
Also, the acoustics are quite poor, making it difficult to hold a normal conversation because of the noise. Overall, decent food, but the service and atmosphere could use improvement.

I have to say , not because it’s Saturday and am feeling good ! I am taking a moment from currently dinning at Lucia to say how orchestral this team is operating on. I’ve chatted to Melissa! Tonight’s floor manager and I can say … wow ! She stepped in to help her little bambinos during rush hour. Not freaking out , not coming down on them as the restaurant is full ! And chaotic ! I tell ya from a parent of 4 ! She can handle her babies , demanding clients and the heat and pressure of Saturday night fever ! All I can do is clap ! Bravo ! And say to her and her team including Gabriel my bar tender thank you ! And CINCIN! Who ever the owners are they should rest assured that their home and guests are well taken care of! Thank you again team at Lucia ! I only included Melissa and Gabriel but the rest of you lads , I applaud you all ! Saturday October 18th at 8:30PM.
I would recommend this heart warming home to anyone wanting to feel right at home with Momma !
Cin Cin !

Great happy hour! The service was good and they have outdoor seating =)
What a lovely little evening my aunt and I had here for her birthday! Izza made us feel at home the second we walked in. Her food and drink recommendations were incredible; I had the yummiest lumache pasta paired with Izza’s recommended red (la quercia!) and the margherita pizza. My aunt had the spinach & mascarpone tortellini and enjoyed her complementary birthday limoncello tiramisu 🥰 Will definitely be returning here for some more memories.

We wanted to try something new for my husband’s birthday so we booked Lucia for a dinner celebration, knowing it’s just opened and the menu looked great. And the verdict - we werent disappointed!
We ordered the scallops for appetizer. The flavours are excellent. The only thing I didnt quite like was the texture of the sauce. If the sauce was smoother it’d be the a much better match! We also ordered a pasta with italian sausages and we loved it. The sausages are juicy and full of flavours, but not overwhelming. We got a butcher’s selection as well which was a 16oz ribeye. Oh my god that was so so so good! Finally a perfectly made medium rare steak! And finally here it came the dessert. The chocolate mousse with pistachio makes this wonderful dinner complete.
Overall it was a fabulous dining experience and we loved every bite of what of we had. The service was also on point and very attentive. The servers checked on us several times despite they were busy with several big tables arriving at the same time. I’ll definitely be coming back again!

Drinks: well balanced, reasonably priced in today’s economy.
Food: pasta (perfectly cooked), pizzas (cheese combination was beautiful, crispy crust) and squid (tender and moist) all exceeded our expectations.
Atmosphere: music was way too loud and the wrong type of music. It didn’t correspond to the atmosphere of the restaurant.

My partner and I visited the restaurant on a Wednesday evening. The reservation process was smooth, and we were seated 10 minutes early, which was a nice start.
Unfortunately, the ambiance made it difficult to enjoy the evening—the noise level was so high we struggled to hold a conversation. (We basically didn't talk the whole dinner.. because we couldn't hear each other..) Service also felt inattentive; I had to stand up multiple times to request basic things, and our table wasn’t checked on throughout the meal. It wasn’t until we were paying the bill that our server became noticeably present.
That said, we genuinely enjoyed each and every dish. The food was excellent and thoughtfully prepared. I would recommend it for takeout, or if dining in, I’d suggest asking for Lucia—she seemed to be providing attentive service to nearby tables.
