Lucia offers traditional Italian food made with the freshest ingredients. Located in the historic Bishops Arts District, Lucia restaurant is a reflection of its chef/owner, who believes in preparing great food, and serving it in a welcoming atmosphere. But be prepared – news travels fast, and you really should make a reservation. Once there, do yourself a favor and try some of the house-cured salami, then move on to some fresh made pasta or a tasty and interesting entrée. Since only the freshest ingredients are used the menu changes all the time.
