Lunch Review! I've loved coming to Lucia Rose for dinner but recently visited for lunch. Their standard menu is still offered as well as lunch sandwiches and a prefix menu! What a great idea for $23 to get a singular portion of an antipasta, salad, and smaller entree. I got the meatball, baby gem caesar, and spicy rigatoni pasta. I came hungry and left with leftovers. The caesar salad and pasta were amazing! The meatball was good but ricotta was served room temp where meatball was served hot. My friend and I agreed the temp difference was off. She got the meatball, roasted beet salad, and chicken parm sandwich. The beet salad wasn't her favorite as the arugula kept getting stuck in her teeth. The chicken parm sandwich had great flavor and was a large portion! I love this idea of a prefix menu for a fun lunch out. Highly recommend dinner OR lunch at Lucia Rose as you won't be disappointed. read more

Haven't been to Lucia Rose for sometime after moving to Plainfield. Decided to meet a long time friend that I haven't seen for over 20 years. I recommend meeting at Lucia Rose. Love the ambiance, Kathy was great as our server it was that the pizza just wasn't on par with what I've had in the past. I ordered the pistachio pizza, my friend ordered the Margarita. I wanted her to try the pistachio as it always had the ability to roll my eyes with every bite. I was shocked when she said it was just ok. She was right! The pistachio cream didn't have the same taste, actually it had no taste. The cheese wasn't melted, but formed hard ribbons on top, and there was so much sausage the taste was just sausage and salt. Even had my husband taste it when I brought some home and he agreed. No eye roll. My friends margarita was equally as disappointing. The cheese wasn't melted, the middle was soft and sat in a puddle of tomato water when you opened it up. We were planning on meeting back again for dinner with our partners, but both agreed we're going to find someplace else. read more

First time and had our daughter's bridal shower after seeing reviews. The food was excellent and service was above and beyond can't wait to go back and have just a night of dinner and drinks. Highly recommend for a party. read more

The food was delicious! However, we went around 12-1 pm on a Thursday and they were out of bread and an arugula pasta dish? Other than that, all the food was great! The interior and exterior seating of the restaurant are all also very beautiful! Sevice was quick and our server was super kind! read more

Not sure how this place has so many positive reviews. Food is bland. Service is non-existent and drinks are half poured. The place was dead and based on my experience, deserves to be empty. Hard pass. read more

First time at Lucia Rose! Greeted immediately and seated right away! At first glance the restaurant has a beautiful ambiance with low lights. Complimentary bread and butter given while we look at the menu. For our appetizers we got the Burrata & the Fritto Misto - the Fritto Misto was fire! For our main entrees we got the Margherita Pizza and the Spicy Rigatoni Pasta w/ Chicken - both were good and worth trying. Definitely recommend this place to all in downtown Wheaton. read more

We made a reservation to celebrate my father-in-law's birthday. They have a strict policy about charging a credit card for not showing up for reservations but apparently don't care about having dozens of people standing outside for a half hour waiting to get in. Nobody bothered to come out and explain why the line didn't move and they are clearly dysfunctional. We will NEVER try this place again since their poor management ruined our birthday plans. I'm sure many are in agreement. read more

Lucia Rose - Lots of hungry people who aren't able to get inside for over 30 minutes past their reservation. - Italian Near Me - Addison, Illinois

Fresh, fast, reasonable prices and clean. We would eat here daily if possible. Thank you!

Diamond in the rough Nick Nitti does well here!! I found my new spot... I travel every week and when I come home I guess here is where I will stop!!! read more

Wow Lucia Rose exceeded my expectations! The ambiance when you walk in is beautiful and reminds me of being in a fancy restaurant. The plates they use are soo pretty and way better than the boring white plates at the majority of the restaurants. The food was a-m-a-z-i-n-g! It was delicious and fresh tasting. The portion sizes were also good. The service was a bit lacking, but the food and decor definitely made up for it. We would love to come back and try their pizzas because it looks like everyone around us was ordering pizzas. My mom's new favorite restaurant! read more

I had booked this place for a PRIVATE event which cost around $3000. I am later told that because they have a DJ coming in, that we can't use the private room anymore. I let them know that we don't mind, but he says nothing can be done. When I get there, we talk and it seems as if there is a mutual understanding that there will be compensation because I paid for a PRIVATE room. At any restaurant that I've checked out, the private room rate is significantly more expensive than simply reserving tables in the main dining area. Once dinner is done, we talk and he says he can give 30% off the bar tab which ends up being $150....off of a $3000+ event. I told him that that's kind of low and he argues that we had arrived 30 minutes late so it's fair (even though the entire event is already paid for and he had kicked us out of our private space). In addition, my event had been booked before they even announced the DJ on their social media. I only give it 2 stars because the food was good so I'm complimenting the chefs but I didn't appreciate how the owner handled this. read more

We went in for lunch and idk what her problem was but the main waitress had an attitude problem from the beginning to the end. We were "greeted" with a scowl and opted for indoors as it was too sunny outside. The decors are lovely bit the food was just ok. We got the pre fixe lunch and the salad was delicious but everything else was sub par. The panini was literally so tiny with barely any arugula in it. The pasta was probably the best option. The food runner was friendly and nice, but the person cleaning up the dishes was overeager to take our plates (even when we were still working on it). I don't think i'd return. Free parking in the lot. read more

This place is a great vibe with a slick modern decor and some really friendly staff. The food is well prepared and tastes super fresh. HIGHLY recommend the meatballs and the wood-free pizza. Definitely will be back again to sample order menu items. read more

Very fancy up scale restaurant with great food & vibes. Perfect for a date or a big party event.

Stopped here for lunch on a Sunday and was seated right away. It was completely empty inside which doesn't make sense to me - the food, atmosphere and service are excellent! The restaurant is designed very well. It's beautiful, elegant and well kept. It's a city/posh vibe with colors that are neutral and inviting with an accent of a deep emerald green. For food I tried the caprese salad which was light and refreshing. The portion is fairly large so this is a salad that can be shared. I also tried the tartufo wood fired pizza and it was delicious. The flavors are well balanced and overall a solid pizza - this is also fairly large and can be shared. I recommend ordering a few diff things and just sharing with everything you're with. read more

We hosted my dad's 65th birthday party at Lucia Rose, and it was absolutely perfect! Laura guided us through the entire planning process, making everything feel easy and stress-free. She was always responsive, took care of every detail, and offered great professional advice on the menu, decor, and more. We'll definitely be hosting future events at Lucia Rose and are so grateful to Laura for making it such a wonderful experience! read more

I got the penne arrabbiata and it had just the right level of heat. The tomato sauce was vibrant and seasoned with fresh herbs, nothing too fancy but so tasty. Pasta was al dente and the portion was generous. We had a friendly waiter who refilled our drinks often and made us feel welcome. The dining area was bright and modern, a great place for a quick lunch or casual dinner. They also brought out fresh bread to start, which was a nice touch. Will be coming back with my pasta-loving friends. read more

In town visiting, and very pleased with our dinner and dessert here! Please give this place your business. They know what they're doing in terms of service, vibes and food. Immediately greeted and seated with the friendly hostess. Immediately given water and bread. Pasta was fresh, reminded us of when we visited Rome. Same with the decor and ambiance. 100% recommend Lucia Rose if you want great service and incredible food. Can't forget we got the rainbow cookie ice cream cake with pistachios on top. Delicious! read more

Lucia Rose - Rainbow cookie ice cream cake - Italian Near Me - Addison, Illinois

What an adorable place for a fun night out! Enjoyed an evening out for a first time dinner at Lucia Rose. Loved the ambiance of this place; fun music and a great center bar make for a fun date night or girls night out. All the cocktails looked great and are definitely made with the visual eye in mind. Parking: allow a little extra time as the parking lot can be packed on a busy night making parking a little hectic. They do offer complimentary valet at the front, though. We started the evening off with baked clams (12) and nonna's meatballs. The meatballs were my favorite: good for sharing with a table although I wish more than 3 were available with the dish. We all ordered pizzas - 2 of them were gluten free so it's nice they have gluten free options for pizza AND pasta. Note, if you want gluten free, be sure to mention on your reservation or call ahead of time for pizza. Gluten free pasta is available with no call ahead. All the pizzas looked great at our table. We ordered the following pizzas: Don ciccio, Locale, Pistachio, Capricciosa. Finished off the evening with a tiramisu for birthday celebration and limoncello for the table on the house. Prices run about $1-$2 more on pizzas for your selection of Neapolitan pizzas in the Chicagoland area. I think some other staples are a little better, but this is a great selection in the west suburbs. I just enjoyed the evening and would recommend it anyone! Gluten free options available for those friends which is nice! read more

Lucia Rose is such a gem! The inside is so cute and stylish... it gives you the vibe of dining at a hip spot in the city, but it's right here in little Addison. The atmosphere is right on par with the fabulous food. The spicy rigatoni is a must! & the calamari is another one my favorites. If you have room for dessert, don't miss the cannoli and tiramisu! read more

Food outstanding. All Pasta made per order. Authentic home made Italian food as good as it gets! Ambiance and service great! read more

It was my first time visiting the neighborhood, wanted to find something that was a good local place. The salmon was fantastic, friendly staff, and craft cocktails. read more

Yum... why do I only live 15 minutes away and just discovered. Looking for great food with downtown Chicago ambiance feel.. this is your place. read more

Our waiter was very friendly and kind, but three entrees were served with long intervals in between (the 3rd arrived just as the first was finished) over at least 15-20 minutes. Also, my lungs are still burning an hour after I left, as the air quality in this restaurant is horrible. It was a constant assault with cooking oil smells from the kitchen, a dish that gets hand torched and smokey tableside, as well as a drink that burns and creates indoor air pollution. Beware also of a "hospitality fee" added to the bill. read more

I never leave reviews but this one is deserved Well I use to like this restaurant. Drove 45 minutes and so disappointed. Ordered risotto and it was sitting in water. It tasted like minute rice with parmigiana cheese. Suppose to be a creamy sauce. It was water. So gross. Then we get the bill. Hospitality fee on 11.00 on a 300.00 bill. I asked what is this for and she said "it's because the price of food has gone up but we can take it off" so in other words we are going to hope no one notices. So we are adding this but if you notice we will take it off. Wow. Then it was 8:30 and we just finished. We were then surrounded by staff staring at us to clear our table of everything. This is not fast food. This was a 300..00 tab and when I asked would you like to take the dessert plates we got a very irritated response. So we all just got up and left. So disappointed. read more

Just tried this restaurant and was so impressed! Nice light and open bar, not too loud. Such a delicious and unique menu- the food was truly outstanding. Service as wonderful and impressive. Can't wait to return! read more

Lucia Rose - Forgot the name of the pizza, but YUMMY! - Italian Near Me - Addison, Illinois

Owner is very disrespectful to his customers. He does not care about loyalty or how many times you have been there. The food was overcooked and when asked about it was swore at and he was saying the f bombs for everyone to hear. Ordered the sliders medium they were hard and black like a hockey puck. I will never go back there again! I suggest you do not either. ZERO STARS read more

The food was good--burrata was delicious, fried calamari was fresh, vodka rigatoni lacked just a little bit of flavor, Cacio e Pepe was by far the best pasta, chicken parm was nice and crispy, cappuccino was nice and frothy, but rainbow cake tasted a bit frozen. We went in at 6:30pm during girls night Thursday and though it was empty we got seated in possibly the worst seats in the house. We were along the walking path and people were bumping into us all night. We guess it's because they saw were were a younger group and didn't expect us to spend as much or more than other tables like we did. We didn't let it ruin our night and had tons of fun. The DJ was great and raffle was fun ! read more

The service at this place is horrible. Takes 20 min to get a drink.. never even got my meal till my party of 10 had already finished there meal. Waitress kept saying it was because of the seafood I ordered. This place is a joke. read more

The food was cooked to perfection. The appetizers & main course were DELICIOUS! The servers were polite & attentive. The dining room and big bar area were dimly lit and candle light on each table. Wonderful evening read more

Do not go here!!! Went out for a nice dinner ordered Calamari which was overdone and chewy, then I hear what I later found out was the owner swearing a customers who also had food that was overdone. How disturbing, then he walked around to the bar and continued to swear using the F*** word because customers complained about food!!! That's the most unprofessional disrespectful response I have ever seen to a complaint, which customers have every right to as a diner if food is cooked incorrectly or not to a standard they expect at a restaurant! If that was me I would have called the police, that is harassment!!! read more

OMG - this is the most amazing Italian food I've ever had! I was with a large group, so we had lots of different items to share. The burrata was perfect as the bread served with it was just the right size and texture. Then on to the meatballs. I don't even care for meatballs but one bite of these and I couldn't contain my glee. They were so moist and delicious. Next up was the homemade rigatoni with vodka sauce. It was absolutely amazing and melted in my mouth. I barely had room for the chicken limone which was also cooked to perfection. The ambiance was also perfect for our group. Nice with real tableclothes and napkins, without being too formal. I'll be back! read more

This place is a gem. Delicious food and beautiful atmosphere. Our waitress took the time to explain the menu to us since it was our first time visiting. We will be returning! read more

So yummy! We ordered the margherita pizza, burrata, and the spicy rigatoni. Everything was flavorful and fresh, and seasoned perfectly. Between the 2 of us, portion sizes were generous and we had leftovers. The inside is lovely, perfect for a date night or girls night. It's located in a plaza and parking isn't the easiest during dinner time, so keep that in mind. But there is ample parking if you're okay with a very short walk. Service was good, our waitress was nice. We're excited to be back! read more

This place is so cute. Very aesthetically pleasing to the eye. From their arched doors to their plate ware very nice and high quality! The food was good too! We got to honey ricotta on toast, the ricotta was whipped and super yummy. Then we got the truffle woodfire pizza. The woodfire has a delicious firey taste not too burnt and the dough was the perfect amount of chewy! Super yummy. We also got the fritto for apps and it was very delicious. The pasta we got was the pesto, that one was good I think it could have used a little more salt but other than that the pasta in itself was perfectly cooked! We got drinks as well and each of them was very unique would def come back for drinks again. Service was good, our plates were taken away and our waiter checked on us a few times. We did sit outside and the bees were attacking us but that's because the food was too good! Overall would go again! read more

Best Italian food I've had in a while! Lucia Rose carries such a chic vibe inside, I loved every second of it. Super cute and modern decor inside with fun and upbeat music playing in the background. I think this place is perfect for a fun date or gathering with friends! The service was spectacular (I believe our waitress' name was Bianca) and our waitress was very attentive and gave us some great recommendations as far as what to order on the menu! My girls and I chose to order the ortolana pizza, burrata, and the grigiliata di pesce, to share. Everything was so amazing and fresh, the burrata was one of the best I've had, and the grigiliata di pesce was to DIE for! The perfect char flavor and super fresh and light. For dinner I ordered the spicy rigatoni with vodka sauce. The pasta was a doable spice level and just as you can imagine the portion was more than enough! Super yummy. Throughout dinner I tried two different types of drinks. One was isola bella which was a gin drink and then another was fiore de fragola. Both were delicious and refreshing. Perfect insta opportunity for the girls! read more
