A few street parking spots but it's across from a lot so it wasn't hard to get a spot. 6:30 on a Friday but we were easy able to get a table for 2. The place was fairly busy with multiple parties of 6 but service was speedy. Right away we had water and mocktails on our table. I tried the hibiscus Havana and it was great. Super refreshing and light. It tastes of ginger beer and hibiscus with lime. The not so great tapas we had was the mushroom strudel. The texture was pasty and it tasted like dirt and oysters. It's probably just us but we did not like it at all. The other one that was just ok was the croquetas. They taste pretty good but the filling is quite pasty.

The Pan de Casa and Albondigas were the clear crowd favorites. My parents are in their 60s and adventurous eaters, and they were absolutely blown away.

I quite appreciated that all the pasta is made fresh in the restaurant which made the Tuscan Veggie Pasta so much better. My friend thought the Carbonara in his Rib Eye Special was the best he has ever had. The only negatives were that I found the vegetables in my pasta dish kind of indistinguishable. I knew I was eating something green but didn't realize until after looking at the menu that it was asparagus. My friend's Rib Eye was supposed to be a medium but it was more like medium-well and kind of dry. Despite the negatives, I still recommend Sam's Kitchen and have already told my friends about it.

Recently I was craving seafood BIG TIME. As a native Mainer who has lived in the area now for over…read more15 years, it can be tough to find places that serve "traditional" lobster dinners. (Typically consist of steamers, lobster, a baked potato and some corn on the cob if you're lucky). My husband found Turner's while doing a search for a place that would come close to giving me what I was looking for, and they delivered! We started off with the steamers. They're to die for... so tender, no sand in the bellies, and the broth? OOH the broth. It's delectable. It adds flavor that complements the clams perfectly (doesn't overwhelm them at all). My hard shell lobster was incredibly delicious. I'm usually a soft shell gal, but I will take whatever is offered - as long as the meat isn't tough, I'm fine to do the extra work. (It's part of the fun). The tail was split, which is helpful for people who don't know their way around a lobster- for me, I'd prefer it whole, so that's the only (extremely small!) thing I'd change next time. My baked potato and carrots were tasty and the waitress was attentive, kind, and she also had a sense of humor. My husband and I had an awesome evening, and we will be back!

I would've loved to give this family owned restaurant a 5 star rating. Unfortunately, 10 of us were…read morerecently there for a family reservation for a 1 year old birthday celebration dinner. A couple of problems occurred that should never at a family Italian spot. 1- 3 children, never offered crayons I had to walk over to the hostess stand 20 minutes in to ask once I saw how long the drink orders were taking. 2- girls ages 5 & 6 never received their lemonade. Had to ask twice. They should be served first. 3- Their pizza arrived scolding hot with ZERO plates! 4- Kids dessert arrived last. Wait.... Second to last while almost all adults whipped cream melted. 5- Another adult had to go hunt down tiramisu that was never delivered. This was a Friday evening reservation at 6pm. four or five other families were also dining with children and I know Lucia's is known for after sport pizza parties, as well as high school pre game pasta parties. Very confused what went on here.

I have been coming to Lucia's for as long as I can remember. I grew up in Winchester and have…read morereturned often with my family whenever I'm home. It has always been great, and we had never had any issues, which is why, this past Father's Day--the first since my dad passed away a few months earlier--I ordered his favorite meal to take home: chicken parm with extra sauce over pasta and a house salad with their delicious dressing. About 20-30 minutes after ordering, I was notified that the food was ready, so I went straight to the restaurant after walking my dog. When I checked in, several very nice hostesses assured me it would be out in a moment. That continued for nearly an hour, with different explanations for why it still wasn't ready despite my being told to pick it up: they were packing it, checking on it, and so on. The wait itself wasn't the problem. I just wish someone had acknowledged there had been a mistake and told me to come back later. I wasn't in a rush; I simply didn't want to sit in a hot restaurant while my dog waited in the car, forcing me to run outside every five minutes to check on him. The experience was frustrating, and I do wish some sort of compensation had been offered as a gesture. The hosts were very kind, but I still don't understand why I was told the food was ready and then made to wait nearly an hour. The reason we will not return to Lucia's or recommend it, however, is the manager I spoke with when I called to explain what had happened. He was curt, dismissive, rude, and unapologetic--an absolute jerk. The only thing he repeated was, "We have an hour to get the food out." There was no point in explaining that it had already been more than an hour since I ordered, and zero chance he cared that a quiet, meaningful moment on a difficult holiday could have been made better by a little understanding, but was instead made worse. Frankly, I would not trust a dish he touched going forward. If he is the manager, I feel bad for everyone who works for him. The fish rots from the head.

I don't understand some of the hate in the reviews. Looking for a nice restaurant while we were in…read morethe area, we almost passed on Tre Monte because of the negativity. However, the bartender at another place said that it would be the place he would go, and I've learned that the recommendation of a bartender is worth more than any amount of reviews on Yelp. We showed up just at opening, sans reservations, on a Saturday evening (12/7). There was already a line at the door, which is a good sign about the food, but we wondered if we would be able to get a table. The fear was unfounded, as the hostess graciously showed us to a table and dropped menus. Our server, Christina, took our drink order, and was very apologetic that they didn't have onions for Bestie's gibson. No worries - olives work just as well. She came back with our cocktails, recited the specials, and we asked her to give us time to enjoy our drinks; we'd flag her down when we were ready to order. The menu is a great selection of Italian cuisine, balanced with a few standards. We took our time with our cocktails (the martinis were perfect, by the way) and Christina came right over when asked her about wines. She apologized for us not having a wine list, and returned immediately with one (some excellent bottles in their cellar, and a great selection by the glass). Bestie decided right away on the Shrimp Gran Manier [sic], egg-battered shrimp in an orange-flavored sauce, as an appetizer. I fell in love with the Melazana, breaded eggplant with marinara and cheese, covered in a creamy pesto sauce. For entrees, I picked a simple sauteed chicken, covered with prosciutto and cheese, while the rack of lamb caught her fancy. Christina came right over when we were ready to order, and congratulated us on our choices. We were able to watch the kitchen as they worked. Both of us, having a lot of experience in the industry, marveled at how well the staff worked together in the tiny space. It wasn't long before our appetizers arrived, and they were as delicious as they sounded on the menu. As soon as Christina cleared the empty plates away, she returned immediately with our entrees (which we saw were plated just as she headed to the kitchen area). Bestie's lamb was perfect. She had a choice of two sides, and she picked an herbed polenta and grilled vegetables. I accompanied my chicken with a gratin of potatoes, and sauteed spinach with garlic. We took our obligatory pictures and dug in. Needless to say, there was no conversation while we ate, with the food taking all of our attention. Bestie's lamb was cooked perfectly, with a generous portion, My chicken was flavorful, with the right balance between the sauce and the meat (I have a love/hate relationship with cheese - I like a lot of it, but not when it overpowers what's under it). To finish things off, we ordered coffee and cannolis, something light to balance the richness of the dinner. Both were delicious. When it came time to settle our check, Christina was right over. I am so glad that we listened to the bartender and not the reviews. Our experience here was the highlight of our weekend in this area.

THE WORST experience. Now I'm not one to usually write a negative review, however, having been a waitress for over 15 years I felt this one was needed so that Gaetano's may improve their customer service and not lose another customer like myself and my boyfriend.. We arrived at 6:10/6:15 pm on Saturday.. Stood at the hostess booth for 4/5 minutes without any acknowledgement. Even the bartender who had only TWO customers at the bar didn't even look in our direction. AND she is right at the entrance door. Finally the hostess, I assume, comes over and asks, "Can I help you?" We asked for a table for two. She asks, "do you have a reservation?" We said, no, did we need one?" NO RESPONSE and she walks behind the hostess station and stares down at something for about another 2 awkward minutes...... She then walks right past us NOT EVEN breathing a word down to the top of the stairs at the lower level. At this point I said We are out of here. I'm NOT going to be comfortable eating where I feel I am inconveniencing them. Especially at 6:15 pm and for only two of us.. Are you kidding me?!! I have no idea if there is no training for hostesses, but even an adult knows that you ALWAYS are pleasant to customers and you greet them, even if to say, "hello we will be right with you." or, "sure let me see what we can do." Or "we are going to be busy with a large party, would you mind sitting at the bar?"... Sorry Gaetano's.. No excuse. read more

My husband and I tried this restaurant again after several years of deciding against it. We were seated right away, which was great. However, our server did not show up for over 15 minutes. We had to ask for water twice, received no bread although other tables did, and she spent a lot of time speaking with another table, who she appeared to know well. The food arrived after a very long wait, and that was good. The worst part was our server never came back to the table after giving us our food...not once. We tried to flag her down several times, and another server came over to ask if we wanted water, which we did. We must have looked really frustrated, because 2 different employees came down the stairs and looked at us, and our server finally reappeared. Never asked how everything was, did we want coffee, dessert, anything. She just asked if we wanted our bill. I responded, "Yes, we've been waiting a long time for it.", to which she turned around and walked away. We were in the restaurant for over 2 hours. Poor, poor service. I left a message twice for the manager and never heard back..which is why I am writing on Yelp. I don't think we will go back...there are lots of other restaurants to go to! read more

The new menu offers really delicious & creative salad options. The calamari is the best I have ever had and I tend to order calamari at many different restaurants so that is saying something. The pizza is my absolute favorite pizza that I have ever tasted. I have been here countless times and tried many different entrees and I have never had one that I did not absolutely love. The wine pours and the food portions are extremely generous which is amazing. The wait staff is always friendly and knowledgeable. The new decor/televisions/bar/tables are so chic.

Last night I was hungry for something a little different and stopped at Gaetano's on my way home. I ordered a special - Veal Scarpiello. It was amazing. The take out order included bread and butter, a side salad and would also have included pasta, rice or vegetable if I had wanted it but for which I opted out. The veal was delicious - sauteed veal medallions and sliced eggplant, ricotta and fresh mozzarella cheeses, sliced prosciutto and mushrooms topped with a delicious red wine tomato sauce. The serving was adequate for two people and I had to restrain myself from eating the whole thing! Hope you get there to try it soon! read more
