Love Lucia’s. Every dish we have ordered has been exceptional. Always friendly service. The awesome menu options and the fresh ingredients used to make our meal are why we keep going back. We don’t mind paying a little more for fresh quality, made to order food. Keep up the great work, Geno! It shows that you and your team love what you do!
Last night was yet again another amazing meal! Consistently is key when eating out and you can always count on Lucia’s serving an amazing meal with friendly staff.
We had eaten there once before, and we felt it was really good and worth revisiting. Boy were we disappointed this time. The “gentleman” working the cash register was very curt. I could have easily used the word rude, but I chose the word curt instead. When my wife said, “Oh, I thought the menu was on the wall.” His response was “No wall, no place for a menu.” He then failed to hand us a menu as if we should have known to pick up a menu from the counter. Drinks were self service in a restaurant with is relatively expensive. For example, we ordered 2 appetizers….one appetizer was $18 and the other appetizer is not listed on their online menu but it was also in the $15-$18 range. We did not order any entrees, but their entrees are generally $23-$28. I expect most patrons would anticipate wait staff delivering their beverage at a restaurant in this price range. It was noon on a Saturday and there were only 2 other parties in the establishment. From number of open tables, it seems that others are having bad experiences at Lucia’s. Others may be pleased with the restaurant, but latest our experience was very poor.
33 minutes. Start to finish. Meat and more meat pizza and the deconstructed grilled cheese was incredible.
I can't get over how incredible our meal was at Lucia's Italian Kitchen. This restaurant has such a unique concept of being open kitchen and BYOB, we really didn't know what to expect but trusted the reviews. I'm glad we did! The chef's and staff are so talented and welcoming. It was so much fun to watch them work, and the food?? Truly fantastic. We'd planned to go elsewhere for dessert but couldn't resist offered a taste of their chocolate cake. 10/10! Absolutely go check them out.
Ordered the tavern style Cicero. Soooo good!!
Superb place to eat, with stunning service. Me and my wife stopped by during a roadtrip. The hostess was welcoming, positive and informative. Overall A little pricey but the vibes and food make up for it. Definitely get the deconstructed grill cheese also really good salads.

We stopped on our road trip on I70 and it was easy on and off the highway and great local food! We had the Cicero pizza and a Caesar salad that were both great. The deconstructed grilled cheese was simple yet fabulous - fresh warm bread dipped in a great cheese sauce. For dessert we had the Luciano - wow- super creamy with fresh warm biscotti and homemade whipped cream.

Easily the best pizza for miles around. The margherita really shows off their fresh ingredients and perfect crust. Staff is always friendly and helpful.

Our first visit! The food entries were absolutely delicious and the dine-in atmosphere was great. We enjoyed watching the staff prepare our meal and ready to go back to sample the Little Piggy 😄
