Customer Reviews
This food was gross. I ordered the rigatoni with meat sauce. Does not taste like meat sauce, you can’t tell what’s in the sauce. Fettuccini Alfredo tastes like it came from a jar nothing special at all. Try making food at home at this point. Don’t waste your money, have a date night in. Also I added a picture of the Parmesan to commemorate how bad it tasted. I really wanted to love this place, too bad.
I was in town on a work trip, looking for a great place for dinner. What a beautiful, elegant atmosphere! Fabulous dinner, friendy staff. The meals are a la carte. I ordered the shrimp scampi and a salad. Because I was so intrigued by the wood-fired pizza, I ordered a small one to go. No regrets, you must go!
Mama Lucia offers a pleasant and inviting ambiance typical of a traditional Italian eatery, making it an attractive choice for those seeking a cozy dining atmosphere. Over the course of three visits, however, the food consistently fell short of expectations. Unfortunately, the quality and flavor of the dishes, including the pizza, did not meet the standard one might expect from an Italian restaurant. In fact, the offerings compared unfavorably even to more casual chain alternatives like Pizza Hut. While the setting may appeal to diners prioritizing atmosphere over culinary excellence, those in search of authentic, well-executed Italian cuisine may wish to explore other options.
Party of 4 eating Saturday at 5pm. Service was swift and friendly and the food arrived quicker than expected - barely finished our bread! Portions were large and therefore a good value. We had lasagna with meat sauce, spaghetti with meatball, shrimp scampi, and white clam sauce - pictures below. Atmosphere was crowded, but still easy to maintain conversations due to the multiple levels of seating. Very comfortable place and we will definitely return!
We always go to Mama Lucias when visiting our son. We ordered our normal Palermo pizza. It was dark in color so we thought it was gluten free. They said their dough is now all sour dough. It was horrible. Chewy. NOT Italian. Big change big disappointment
