Antonio Caldareri
Owner and head chef, Antonio Caldareri has brought the flavors of Northern and Southern Italy to small town Connecticut. With Italian parents, his mom from the North and dad from the South, Chef Tony creates dishes that are made fresh with ingredients and will please any member of your family.
We drive 25 minutes to get to Lucia. Great menu in a nice atmosphere. The staff is always professional and courteous. The deserts are made in house by the owner each week. Outside summer patio great for family gatherings.

We got engaged here 7 years ago. Just went back to celebrate 🥂 . We loved our dinners and appetizers , also great wine and atmosphere. The price was affordable and the wait staff went above and beyond.

Excellent Italian Restaurant!
My wife and I went here for a office Christmas party and I have to say I was pleasantly surprised how good the food was. Everyone at the table seemed to enjoy what they ordered.
We will be returning!

My husband and I hosted our Company's Christmas party at Lucia and I cant tell you how perfect everything was. I worked with Edras the Manager from the get-go and he not only helped craft the perfect menu for our needs (we had a large party with specific food preferences), but he communicated fabulously at all stages. Edras also personally worked our party to make sure everything went off without a hitch. The food was amazing, service spot-on, and all our guests had a great time. I cant say enough about the experience as a whole and we will definitely host another party here without a doubt. Call and ask for Edras and it will be a perfect night guaranteed!
