Details

Lets take an Under 40 (age not cost) trip to Italy this month for some traditional Italian favorites. How can you not love Italian food and wine and Lucia is an Italian restaurant that is BYOB - so make sure to bring your favorite Italian Wine to share with the group and if it is nice outside we might be able to site outside!
===================
MENU
Lucia Ristorante features traditional Italian favorites. Appetizers include baked clams, carpaccio and calamari, served either grilled or fried. Salads lean towards the classics with Caesar and Caprese, but also offer some interesting alternatives like the insalata riccia (watercress with walnuts, raisins and blue cheese in a sweet balsamic vinaigrette). More than a dozen pasta dishes are available, including the house specialty gnocchi alla Romana with tomato sauce, fresh basil and parmesan cheese. Entrees include picatta di vitello al limone (medallions of veal sauteed with lemon, capers and pine nuts), pollo alla contadina (sauteed chicken breast with cherry tomatoes, black olives, thyme, basil, garlic and onions), and gamberi gratinati (breaded shrimp in a white wine, garlic and butter sauce). For dessert there's tiramisu, cannoli, sorbets and gelati

    "Lucia has fantastic food...we ended up with a small but great group of people - we went through four bottles of wine with only 6 of us (and one was not drinking!) Try Lucia - it was a small and fantastic place."

  • Kamron
    "I really enjoyed meeting Laurel, Giovanna, Andy, and Atar! The restaurant had a unique selection of authentic Italian and we tried it all :) I am definitely excited to check out the next event! "
