We brought some great wine with us and had a spectacular time! Talked to the owner a bit. Had a wonderful waiter and the food was good. One of the better BYOB restaurants I have been to.

It was my bday and I have been in the restaurant industry 30+ years. It’s rare when I receive the service I like to think I give.

The owner, a polite and charming older gentleman greeted us and asked us where we wanted to sit. The outside patio was quiet enough for a conversation and had good lighting. It felt like stepping into a family run business ran by people who love cooking and feeding their family . The server was so friendly, and attentive to anything we needed. He also offered great suggestions for our dinners such as the pumpkin squash ravioli and the Capellini alla Checca, both of which were delicious. The BYOB option is such a nice option as well. The server offered us ice and glasses for any drinks we brought in. I will definitely be returning to Lucia 's for another excellent dinner and to try out the deli counter for a sandwich. Easy 5/5.
