"We went last Saturday to A Lucia, and the food was pretty authentic. I ordered the half spaghetti a la boloñesa, and my partner ordered the half linguini with clams, and we also have their chocolate cake with gelato. For us, the portions were perfect since the half allows you to get a more European portion size, which is enough for us, but I would recommend getting the full portion size if you are looking for a more traditional American portion size."

My mother and I came here for a quick lunch. Let's just say the moment we walked in we understood that we weren't welcome. In 2023, you would think...

My wife and I wanted to try a different Italian restaurant in Old Town other than the staples. It was really good, as our server was beyond patient with us...

We walked in for the first time and on the left someone was packaging to-go food and a nice kid greeted us... there was an older man who must not have heard...

Great service. Everyone was very attentive. The Spinat Manicotti was both good and the vegetable soup. The Caesar salad was good. It was even up to the two fish that came with him. I'd go back. View menu

Great service. Everyone was very attentive. The spinach manicotti was good as well as the vegetable soup. The Caesar salad was good. It was authentic even down to the two fish that came with it. I would go back.

Many homemade pasta and sauce. I overheard the owner to talk to some customers about how he eats fish every day and gets fresh fish for the restaurant in the season. He was happy and offers samples of vegetable dishes. Sounds like a real person interested in offering honestly good food.

Lot of homemade pasta and sauce. I overheard the owner talking to some customers about how he eats fish everyday and gets in-season fresh fish for the restaurant. He was happily offering samplers from vegetable dishes. Sounded like a genuine person interested in offering honest good food. View menu

Salve surroundings with fresh food. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. The food was very fresh and everything was surprisingly easy for Italian dishes (good. I didn't let myself feel hard or excessively full). The mixed salad is served in the most delicious Balsamico dressing. Will definitely be back.

As usual. We ordered to get this cold winter night out. Caesars Salat was perfectly long with fresh bread. My linguins and mussels were excellent with very fresh little baby mussels and well seasoned broth. Also the chicken and mushrooms of my wife Marsala were excellent. Well done. Very recommended for an authentic Italian dish.

"This place really helped me adjust. I later learned that people gravitate towards certain bars, and I found my favorites, especially those with live music like Birchmere, Black Cat, 9:30 Club, Lincoln, Capital One Arena, and even the now-closed O'Shaughnessy's and Rock & Roll Hotel. One of my most memorable experiences was running into Rory Sheridan on one of my first visits. He was launching his DC music campaign back then and was part of Loud Boyz. We chatted a few times, and I even caught up with some old classmates. Another highlight was when I heard about a “reunion” night before Thanksgiving, and I decided to crash it. There were moments where people could be unkind or I felt out of place, but I was given some guidance on where I would fit in better, without the unnecessary drama. Being in Old Town, I was familiar with nearby schools like West Potomac, Mount Vernon, and Bishop Ireton. During my visits, I would often take an Alexandria cab or use Metro Access, being discreet about my disability since I felt embarrassed at times. Being a regular meant navigating the tourist scene, and there were people who seemed territorial about the place, but I ended up doing quite well when I sold my house. Good times continued with events like watching RG3 play for the Redskins or meetups organized by JT. I enjoyed New Year’s celebrations and weekend outings. I also frequented other establishments like Flying Fish before it closed, and O'Shaughnessy's before I decided to stop drinking. This is a sports bar located near a bicycle shop, close to the Ben & Jerry's I used to work at, along with many other walkable bars for bar hopping, like Union Street Pub and Fish Market. It can be a great place to have fun, but with the good comes some downsides. Overall, I felt well-hosted and respected here, despite some things I was not initially aware of or didn’t want to uncover."
