Great place. Good and service was terrific. My wife has celuac and her gluten free meal was great as well with no ill affects the next day

HOW ARE PEOPLE RATING THIS RESTAURANT ANYTHING BUT A 1?? Read the other rated 1...they are absolutely telling the truth.Horrible food! Horrible service and horrible atmosphere! We should have left when we noticed that there was no one eating. The atmosphere was dark. Service was horrible. Staff were cold and almost felt like they didn't want you there. The food was gross. I got the Manicotti, and it seemed like they just slapped it on the plate. There was no filling at all. Pasta, sauce, and cheese. And it tasted burnt. My boyfriend ordered what looked like a frozen pizza. Absolutely not what we expected for an Italian restaurant on Thame St. Disappointed to say the least. Spend you money in another place!

One of THE BEST Italian restaurants I've ever been to. It's a very intimate setting and the food is delicious! I had the Manicotti al pomadoro and my boyfriend had some farfalle cream dish, which was fantastic as well. We had tiramisu for dessert, and I'll just say we would've ordered 3 if we could eat it all. This is a must try spot!

Really delicious food and lovely ambiance! It's a wee bit expensive for the portion size but worth it if you want some warm yummy Italian food. Bread is also really good but it's $2 for additional baskets (which we got because it was good- lol!) Our server Hassan was great and we didn't have to wait for a table. Totally recommend stopping by if you're in the Newport area- it's right on Thames Street!

I believe this to be of the more underrated places in Newport. A delicious meal and dessert was had by all.

I've been to Lucia many times over the years for their northern Italian food. The service is always friendly, and the food is always delicious and properly prepared. I have never been disappointed. I highly recommend Lucia.

This restaurant is a little gem. The servers are attentive and engaging. They offer a wonderful selection of wine and the food is superb. I've lived abroad and around the U.S. and this is by far one of the best. Jennifer was our server, and she was genuinely warm and relatable. We very much enjoyed our conversation with her, throughout our stay. Do not pass up the opportunity to have a meal here. I know we'll be returning in the future!

Very nice and cozy Italian reminiscent of what you'd find in the North End in Boston serving Northern Italian fare. Me and my family loved everything we ordered including the Garden Salad and the Creamy Mushroom soup. For desert we had the blueberry crumble cheesecake which we recommend!

We ate here on Christmas Eve and it was perfect. We ordered a bottled of wine, an appetizer, and an entree to split. All was very good. I'd revisit if back in Newport again.
