We are on a road trip from Texas.
We knew we had to have an Italian beef sandwich when we got to Ill.(we used to live in Champaign I'll.)
I Googled where to find an Italian beef in Effingham.
Rave reviews for Lucia's. They were all correct! We do keto so it was hard to break our diet but the Fresh baked French bread was irresistible!
We must add our RAVE review!
DELICIOUS!
Best we've ever had! So glad we drove that 8 minutes out of the way!

Absolutely incredible sandwiches. Best Philly I've ever had, no contest. The bread is perfect, the cheese is amazing, the steak is delicious. I live over an hour away and cannot wait to return. Well worth the drive (Come for Lucia's, visit family in the area as a bonus lol)

The bread is made fresh daily and it is soooo good. Definitely get the Wiz as the cheese option (it’s a melted homemade cheese that has AMAZING flavor)When you stop in try and talk to the Owner Chef Geno, he is full of passion when it comes to his cooking, and you can tell when you bite into one of these cheesesteaks!
Unfortunaly i ordered a cheesesteak with extra cheese to go. When i got home there was no cheese. Which made the sandwhich very dry. Theeat was good though. But how do you get a cheesesteak w/o cheese. Ugh andfor $18.00.

Handmade pasta that is the best you will find anywhere. And the byob policy is great if you want to enjoy your own wine with dinner.

We live an hour away, but when we are in the area, this is our favorite place to eat! The food is fantastic and so is the experience. They care about your experience and go above and beyond! Definitely recommend eating here!!

We found this fabulous place by luck on our cross country road trip and it was beyond good. The food was beautifully prepared. We started with the Spinaci Maiale. Wow! Crispy Nueskes pork belly, perfectly sautéed spinach and flavorful red pepper with a delicious olive oil sauce and just the right spice. Never would have expected to order this creative dish but was feeling adventurous and so glad I did! Next we had Chittara which is distantly like fettuccine al fredo but WAY better! Made in an authentic giant cheese wheel, expertly made and cooled pasta, fresh cracked black pepper. Excellent. Thank you all for a wonderful experience.
Ordered the tavern style Cicero. Soooo good!!
