    Chicken with asparagus and mozzarella
    Susy P.

    We've been coming to Mama Lucia's since they opened and I have to say it was very disappointing. Our waitress was wonderful, very accommodating and acknowledging the lack of attention to the timing of the food. We ordered Caesar salad, wedding soup, and fried ravioli as our appetizers. the Caesar salad came out very wet. The lettuce was wet, and the dressing had no flavor. I sent it back for the wedding soup. Prior to the soup coming, The fried ravioli came out and tasted like seafood in which my fiancé does not eat. We had to send it back. It was an edible. The wedding soup took a while, but will it eventually arrived it was very good; flavorful with a nice broth. I recommend putting Parmesan cheese in it and pepper Our entrées were good for the price point ($30.00 each). They give huge portions. I ordered the seafood MARE with vodka sauce. it was excellent. It had clams, shrimp and calamari. My fiancé ordered the chicken special with balsamic vinaigrette on chicken with asparagus and a large portion of spaghetti on the side. I have to say service was excellent. The place was pretty empty on a Thursday night and items arriving out we're very slow. I'm thinking the Fallsgrove restaurant has a little bit more attention to the details. Having been there in the past but our server was so sweet Her details to customer service were exceptional

    This place is Awful from the door, smells like 10 day old DIRTY MOP WATER! The food is absolutely TASTELESS even the damn Tomato Sauce. The inside smells like that regularly I assume; because the cloth napkins smell like trash too. If you like this place- you are really nasty and don't appreciate food or the taste of it. Never again for me.

    Garlic bread?

    This is the pizza and salad I received tonight. My first time ordering from Mama Lucia. Totally inedible. The best thing was the spaghetti bolognese, which was definitely not what spaghetti bolognese is supposed to be but at least it was edible. I think the photos speak for themselves.

    Receipt. Day special: buy one pasta, another for $8.

    One full bag food only $33. Not bad. I understand mamma Lucia has daily special each weekday. I had been craving mamma's pasta. Just randomly ordered two of them. I like the tomato sauce. Only hope the restaurant will have diabetic patients friendly bread.

    Solid pizza place. We got takeout and the food was pretty good. Good price for portion. We would definitely get takeout from here again in the future.

    Went here for a late lunch & we had such a pleasant waiter. The kids enjoyed their dish so much. The calamari we got as an appetizer was surprisingly good; it was lightly breaded which is nice vs having so much oil with each bite. Their Cesar salad is also pretty good there. As well as the pasta dishes. They were definitely big portions. The area was clean and the music wasn't too loud which I can appreciate.

    Penne Vodka Sauce D
    Abbey S.

    nothing to go crazy over. the food is good, not mind-blowing. the penne vodka is typically a fan-fave but my boyfriend had it yesterday and afterwards was sick with nausea, vomiting, chills, diarrhea, etc. he was the only one in our party to order it and the only one with this reaction. he also said there was hardly any prosciutto in it. the portions are pretty huge, which justifies the price. but if you have leftovers, prepare to see a thick, congealed layer of butter / oil on the bottom of the container the next day. service was fine but could have been better -- often left without water for 15+ minutes interior is bright and clean, there's a private room for parties, and there's a pizza counter where you can watch them make the pies. large parking lot.

    Menu, bread, oil and herbs.
    Tracy B.

    Wow, shocked to see only a 3.5 star review on Yelp. I give this place a 5 star because the food was fantastic! I ordered the spaghetti squash bowl with spicy marinara and he ordered the homemade lasagna. Both of the dishes were incredible. The lasagna was made with beef and pork meat sauce. There was also bread and oil with herbs and cheese. Absolutely delicious! The service was great and it was options to sit inside and outside. We decided to try the pizza so we each took a slice to go. I got the specialty vegetarian and he got the pepperoni. Looking forward to trying the pizza. We have ordered here in the past, but we have never dined in. We will definitely be back.

Having traveled and dined across the globe, I did not expect homemade pasta, fresh espresso, and Neapolitan style pizza to be in Rockville MD. If you live within an hour drive, just take the trip and have lunch or dinner here. Try the espresso martini! I shared a cheese pizza with my daughter, my mother had the chicken piccata, my cousin the gnocchi, my father the chicken parm, my cousin had a caprese salad and the further seats I couldn't see. We all shared a few orders of the calamari. EVERYONE raved about how delicious their food was. I agree. Probably the best piccata I've tasted. The pizza was excellent. The tiramisu great.

The biggest hit for me was the suppli appetizer. These are absolutely delicious and vegetarian friendly! Similar to arancini but somehow even more delicious. These are a must-order. I had the pasta alla vongole and a bite of my husband's chicken parmigiana. Our friend had mushroom ravioli that she loved, but I didn't try as I don't care for mushrooms. I've been on a clams and garlic kick lately for some reason and the vongole comes with these and bonus bacon. I would have preferred the bacon a tad crispier, but that is personal preference. I'd give this dish 4* - I would get it again but after trying some others. From the one bite the chicken parmigiana was a 5*. Their marinara is very good and the linguine in both our dishes tastes freshly made. We all split the chocolate temptation dessert and I ate more of it than I expected to, it is chocolate mousse adjacent cake with ganache frosting, very light, perfectly sweet. Often I find chocolate desserts too much after a big meal but this one wasn't heavy at all. 5* My friend ordered sangria which she thought was more like a wine cooler; too sweet for her French oenophile sensibilities and a bit lighter than a sangria usually is, but I am a pleb who loves sweet drinks and I would order it. If you are a sangria purist you might not care for it. Hubs enjoyed his old fashioned but said it needed a dash more bitters to be perfect. I was driving so enjoyed a non-dirty Shirley. Prices to me are reasonable for quality and portion size; our tab ended up high because of the appetizer, drinks and dessert but if you just had pizza or pasta with soda it would be pretty affordable. I will be back to get more suppli and try other dishes!

The vibe inside looking around felt classy, cool & comfortable. The menu is quite extensive offering appetizers, entree salads, pastas, risottos & pizza.

My friend ordered the Napoli Margarita Pizza-fresh tomato sauce, mozzarella cheese & basil (top) in photo. I ordered Sausage Pizza-Roman-sausage, marinated red peppers mozzarella, and asiago cheese. Roman-is square shaped crust-think focaccia bread. Tender buttery flavor w/crispy edge, rich tasty sausage & tangy red peppers & creamy cheese. Delicious meal fresh ingredients. I ordered the Abe Berry Spritzer (elderberry aperol, prosecco) light refreshing fruity flavor. Complemented the richly flavored pizza. We both enjoyed our meal. Our attentive provided great customer service. As we left, looking around-the not so large restaurant had filled up w/people enjoying themselves. Yes worth another visit. See photos.

There is a small gravel parking lot (it shares a wall with China East) and seems very conveniently placed between neighborhoods. There isn't any place to sit indoors so this definitely a delivery/carryout place. It has been 3 years since my last order and a few things have changed about the menu. The garlic sauce is now an add-on, they have expanded their menu to include wings and vegan options, and now there's an option for a half and half specialty pizza (medium size and larger). Upon picking up the pizza, the gentleman asked if I would like cilantro on the pizza since it is the normal garnish. I ordered a medium half butter chicken and half chicken tikka. The crust has a slight sweetness to it, or maybe it was the sauce with the butter chicken. The chicken was tender and flavorful, the sauce was just the right amount to add flavor without making it a soggy pizza. The green pepper and red onions were diced small which made it easier to eat while also keeping the nice crunch texture. The chicken tikka half had a marinara sauce for the base and the chicken was a bit dry for my preference ( I prefer saucier things). Overall it's a decent pizza and I would like to try some of their other menu items.
