My fiance and I ventured into Lucia Italian Restaurant today as we were scouring for potential rehearsal dinner spots. When we walked into the dining area, we noticed that there was no one to greet us and although there were other guests sitting down, no one appeared to have been served. After about 2 minutes, a scruffily appearing waiter appeared telling us quite brusquely ""sit anywhere you want."" We did so and a waitress subsequently came by our table, and literally THREW the menu at us. She and the other server clearly could care less about the customers and it was obviously that they hated their jobs. Not a great start for a restaurant that prides itself on its ambience and ""high class"" Italian food.\r

After the waitstaff was nowhere to be found for 10 minutes and after we were left with menus and no water and no bread, we realized that this restaurant was going to be sub-par in every way.\r

This was in contrast to Brick Alley Pub which we went to (2 doors down) where the atmosphere was festive, the service impeccable, and the food outstanding.\r

Lucia Italian Restaurant is a waste of time. If you're looking for true fine dining, fairly priced food, excellent service, and great ambience, look elsewhere.
Pros: Honestly, nothing.
Cons: Service was nowhere to be found. Definitely not romantic. Overpriced.
