Located at the heart of Hanover Street, Lucia Ristorante is an institution in Boston's North End. Opened in 1977, Lucia was the first restaurant to bring authentic Italian cuisine to Boston's oldest neighborhood. We continue to combine traditional Italian favorites with innovative new dishes in our distinctive atmosphere. Ample summertime patio seating is available in the newly bricked courtyard of our neighbor, St. Stephen's Church.

    Amazing food and great service once seated. We had a reservation for six o’clock and were not seated until 6:30. Which would have been okay but the hostess was rather rude.

    Very good restaurant with good food. Not much room but that adds to the charm. Noise level was off the chart but that is to be expected. Service was very good.

    This is a louder north end restaurant. Their food is top notch. But for the same food and quieter setting try their Winchester location.

    A big shout out to Frank who went out of his way to make us feel at home at his restaurant at our favorite table. The food was amazing, and the service was the best of our north end experiences. We’ll keep coming back.

    We had the veal saltimbocca and chicken marsala, which were both delicious. The service was average. It was a little frustrating to have a reservation, but still have to wait 10-15 min to be seated. Overall, a great restaurant in the North End, and we would come back.

    Long time North End Diner, first time @ Lucia. Pre-game dinner (Celtics). Party of 4 seated promptly, upstairs. Bread was fresh and prompt, meat & cheese antipasto was just enough for 4 as a starter. Found a reasonably priced Super Tuscan red wine. I had the Veal Saltimbocca w/Penne which was great. Tasted the Chicken Parm w/Penne which I would order the next time, did not try the Bolognese, but my guest enjoyed it. A little loud and tight seating, but that is to be expected in the North End. I’ll be back!

    I recently visited an Italian restaurant in the North End, and it was an outstanding experience. The wine selection was impressive, featuring a variety of exquisite options that perfectly complemented the meal. The ambience was warm and inviting, with a cozy atmosphere that made the evening special. The food was exceptional, from the perfectly cooked pasta to the rich, flavorful sauces. Each dish was a delightful blend of authentic Italian flavors. Overall, it was a memorable dining experience that I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a taste of Italy in the North End.
