    The bolognese sauce is terrific. I make bolognese sauce myself back home in the philly area. Lucia's was delicious. Everything was great as well. I highly recommend going there and giving it a shot.

    Very nice and a good location. I was expecting a little fancier place from the reviews but the food more that makes up for it. I was surprised that they did not have such a simple thing like mealtballs and I had to ask for bread but I very much liked being near the window to look over the steet. I think this is a great place to bring the kids. Dessert was great. We showed up just between lunch and dinner so we could have none of the specials but that was ok. The taste was great and the prices ok. It is a nice alternative to the hustle and bustle of accross the street.
    We very much liked it. I had spagatti and Jay had the bolanesse pasta and we had brocolli to share. the bill with soda was about 45.00

    I am in love with this place! We went for the first time for Laura's 28th birthday and I know we'll definitely be back. The restaurant is in the middle of historic Newport right on busy Thames Street. You have to go up a small flight of stairs to reach it and if you're lucky enough to get the window seat you can watch the busy goings on on Thames Street while you eat. It's a BYOB restaurant, but there is a little package store right around the corner. If you decide to go get a bottle of wine, Lucia's will provide you with the glasses to enjoy yourself. This is authentic Italian cooking. The menu is small but diverse. We started with a pepperoni bruschetta which was hot and delicious. Then Laura had manicotti which she found to have one of the best sauces she ever tasted. I had the farfalli bolonase and it was outstanding. We shared a piece of chocolate mousse and marscapone cake and two cappuccinos. Everything was outstanding. I like the way the waiter brought over a large platter showing us the various desserts they had for us to choose from. The whole experience was really pleasant. The restaurant is small, intimate and you feel like you're in an Italian trattoria. A very cute, relaxing, delicious place to have lunch or dinner and I can't wait to go back!
