Lucia's Italian Kitchen

Lucia’s.. OMGEEEE!! What a Treasure!!! This is one of the best meals we have had in a long time!!! Well worth the 3 hour drive from our home!!! The meat and more meat pizza was outstanding!!! The Carbonara with house made guanciale was amazing as well.. The deconstructed grill cheese with house made bread was spot on too!!! Hats off to them I would definitely give them 10 stars and would drive back again for another round!!!

Great and unexpected find in Effingham IL. Sat at the counter and watched all the orders be prepped and cooked. Amazing but subtle flavors sets this restaurant apart. No alcohol on site but learned that you can carry your own in. We will be back again when we pass through.

We had an amazing experience last night! I recommend sitting at the bar so you can see all of your food made right in front of you. Amazing food, welcoming service.. can’t wait to come back!

I just had a WOW experience and needed to tell everybody about it! I'm a sucker for Italian food that is done well and let me tell you, Lucia's absolutely tops the list. I randomly decided to drive by to see if they were open for lunch on a Thursday because I had heard such great things and I was in luck! This comfortable, casual, open-concept restaurant is welcoming and friendly and you can tell that the team here has a massive amount of pride in what they do and how they do it. Literally EVERYTHING is made from scratch--from the pillowy bread to the rigatoni con sugo that tastes like grandma's recipe (I kept looking for a little lady in an apron squishing San Marzano tomatoes with her hands!) to the pizza that makes you feel like you're walking down a street in Naples. Chef Geno and

Chef Geno outdoes himself!! This is my favorite restaurant in Effingham! Authentic Italian with so much flavor! The food is just phenomenal , you can’t go wrong with any dish you pick! Geno & his staff are wonderful, they are so generous and kind, it feels like you’re having Sunday dinner with the whole family! Highly recommend! We make it a point to stop in when we come in from out of town.
