    I loved the ambiance of this Italian restaurant. I came here to celebrate a relatives birthday on a Sunday evening. It was very hot that day so we opted to sit inside. The service was impeccable! Very thorough. We all started with some gazpacho. Unfortunately it was not the best, it was overly salty and was basically tomato soup with some diced veggies in it. The bread on the table was very good though, especially the pesto that came with it. I then shared a mozzarella caprese salad with avocado. This wasn't bad, but the tomato didn't really have much flavor. For my main I went with the lemon sole. Portions here are very big! I could have definitely shared it. The pasta was cooked well and the fish was battered. Dessert was probably my favorite part of the meal! I went with a flourless chocolate torte that came with a scoop of gelato. It was warm and delicious! We also had a personal connection with the owner, Lucia, who was very sweet. She really cares about the restaurant and her guests.

    Nice local spot for some Italian food! This is my go-to for take-away pizza orders. The gelato is also superb! Lucia's was a god-send during COVID, where pizza seemed to be a weekly order. My favorite is the bbq chicken and the classic Lucia's pizza. This location has tons of parking onsite and is ADA accessible. Inside, there is tons of room (it's a great place for large groups!), and a stunning authentic wood-fire oven (front and center). The service is reliable and quick, and the staff is very kind. My go-to is always take-away, but every once in a while I dine-in and it is always a treat. A Bedford must, for sure!

    Ristorante Lucia is the only Italian restaurant in town, and it's well-loved! It has ample parking in the front, lots of space for large parties and private events, excellent homemade gelato, and a beautiful wood-fired pizza oven. Everything is fresh and made to order, and the service is quick. I normally order takeout from this restaurant (see pictures for my usual order). Lucia's also did an excellent job during Covid, when they offered consistent and clean takeout with complimentary ice cream with every order. Moreover, I heard the owner recently purchased the adjacent lot, so looks like they're planning on expanding! If you like Italian food and are in the neighborhood, you should definitely check this place out!

    such a lovely restaurant, I went to a party in the cottage on the side and the staff were so nice, the space was beautiful, and the food was great. excellent place to host a party or event.

    Ristorante Lucia - beautifully landscaped!

    The beautiful landscaping demonstrates the care and effort the owners have invested in this little gem. We had a lovely early dinner and sat outside in the wisteria arbor, and our waiter Jose could not have been nicer. All the staff was attentive and the food was excellent. There are many choices for food and budget from pizzas to full dinners. The beautifully landscaped outside seating area among the gardens and arbors delights the senses and creates a lovely atmosphere.

We started off with gluten free honey ricotta focaccia and the meatballs as our appetizers. The meatballs were very gristly and we had to keep taking pieces out of our mouths. However, the truffle honey ricotta focaccia was delicious ! For dinner my sister got the gluten free eggplant parm and I got the regular cavatelli with sausage. It was pretty good! For dessert we shared gluten free lava cake with raspberry sorbet and the gluten free mascarpone blueberry cheesecake which were both amazing. The staff were so kind. It's hard finding restaurants that can accommodate gluten free but this one was overall very good.

It was marvelous. I are an entire basket on my own. It appears they use the same bread but toasted for the bruschetta, which is a full Garlic experience. The pasta was amazing and indistinguishable from gluten pasta. The sauce was rich and flavorful. I asked for the four cheese gnocchi to have a pasta subbed for gnocchi and they recommended penne shape. It was fantastic. The tiramisu is heavenly. It's light and airy, the complete opposite of your average gluten free experience. Nice coffee taste, a delicate set of flavors. Service was very friendly and enthusiastic but a little slow. Our water ran out and the server did not notice or bring us more. We had to try several times to get their attention for more water.

Our server was adequate, if not especially attentive or friendly. I understand that times get busy, but at this price point / expected caliber of restaurant, it was a bit of a letdown. Couple at the table next to ours, obviously on a date, got the pasta tasting and seemed nonplussed by it throughout. Ordered 2 Hendrick's martinis ($22) each, $4 more (ea.) than at the Salmagundi Club but less strong. We were truly baffled by the White Escarole Salad ($24) -- torn escarole hearts, toasted walnuts, Chianti vinegar, shaved torpedo onions, pecorino foglio di noce -- and the Olive Garden / Pizza Hut presentation. Bland, totally lacking in flavor. The portion was sizable, perhaps to its detriment. It was a Pizza Hut doppelgänger for sure. Sasso Chicken al Mattone ($40) -- sweet fennel sausage, braised escarole greens, spicy pepper condimento -- sausages were shaped into small, lumpy patties and BURNT. Chicken was slightly dry. Much prefer the chicken at FORGIONE. Mezzalune ($28) -- beet, smoked mozzarella, poppy seed butter -- 6 tiny dumplings. They resembled little gyoza but weren't pan-fried. The fillings were pretty tasty. Dessert was extremely underwhelming -- 4 lackluster options. Begrudgingly, we went with the Diplomatico ($18). I think they need to reboot their sweets menu and lower prices to about $14-16. Bill was $233 before tip. Tipped 14-15%. NOT RECOMMENDED.

The pasta was al dente perfection and most importantly there were generous sauce portions. Our waiter was attentive, friendly, and personable. I dined with a friend and we ordered 3 pastas instead of an appetizer (fantastic choice). We tried the following dishes: *Garganelli Mushroom Ragu and Ricotta Salata. This was by far our favorite dish. It was bursting with flavor, had tons of sauce and cheese and was perfectly cooked. If you enjoy mushroom you MUST order this!! *Tagliatelle Bolognese Bianco (Chicken, Veal, Pork) and Parmigiano. Which was so delicious and has plenty of meat and sauce. The tagliatelle was amazing and tasted to fresh. *Bucatini with Pancetta, Tomato, Chilies and Pecorino. We thought this was good but our least favorite dish of the 3.

We finished with the famous olive oil cake, which we loved for its subtly sweet, moist and tender bite. Served with lightly whipped cream and raisins, the combination was surprisingly delicious. We were also touched by the complimentary anniversary scoop of ice cream. The interior seating is a bit snug, but the decor is beautiful--elegant yet homey. The service was good as well.
