Lucia's 1825 West North Avenue, Chicago, IL 60622

"I **loved** Lucia's! I stumbled upon this gem and feel like I won the lottery! BYOB, homemade pasta, everything prepared with love... restaurants like this built and fed the neighborhood. We'll be back, again and again. Grazie!"

"Although this is a fairly small shop, the sandwiches are huge on flavor with the old school italian feel. Ordered the Yale Special with proscuitto, pesto mayo and fresh basil, which was all fantastic. But the star was the fresh mozzarella (bocconcini). The creaminess offset the salty prosciutto with the fresh bread binding it all together. Chips was included (was not expecting that - nice). Will definitely need to try their dinner menu!!"

"I checked out this spot for dinner and the setup is nice here. I got a patio corner seat outside which was pretty dope. I started with the cesar salad which I smashed it was good and the cesar dressing was really good too 8.3. For the main, I went with the Bucatini all’ Amatriciana Thin, its spaghetti-shaped pasta tossed in tomato sauce with sautéed Italian bacon and onion and topped with cheese. I had to add a little salt n pepper to bring out the flavor but overall this was great. 8.5. Overall spot nice I enjoyed the customer service and how nice they were. 8.7."

"Review is for dinner: Not the best italian food BUT that doesn’t mean it wasn’t good! I got the ravioli and my partner got one of the tortellini dishes. Her dish was definitely better but mine was decent as well. I would order something else next time, however. The sorbet was DELICIOUS. Came in without a reservation and got sat on the patio. Server was very nice and attentive. Atmosphere is very cozy and nice - almost as if your grandma turned her sunroom and patio into a nice dining area. Would go back and try something else - also sounds like the deli is excellent so need to try that as well!"

"This place was so yummy and the experience of eating here was so lovely. We got the calamari. Did you know it's not supposed to be hard and chewy? The server brought us two things of bread!! Two! The gnocchi was so so good. I wish it had a little more sauce because the sauce was so absolutely scrumptious. Wish I had room for dessert."
