Mamma Lucia of Olney Reviews
This was the worst eggplant parmigiana I have ever eaten. The sauce tasted like thinned-out ketchup, the eggplant was overcooked, oversalted, undercheesed, and plopped on a bed of overcooked spaghetti. I don't usually write restaurant reviews, but I felt I had to warn others away from spending $17.00 on a mess like this. The garlic bread was good, the service was slow but adequate. But please fix the eggplant parmigiana.
I’ve been coming to Mamma Lucia for years, and they never disappoint! The food is always fresh, the portions are generous, and the staff is so friendly and welcoming. Everything we’ve ordered has been delicious. Definitely one of the best Italian restaurants in the area!
Cozy atmosphere and great food! The portions are huge so I like to split with a friend, they split the dish between two plates for us! Friendly waitstaff also. Will definitely be back.
