Family run restaurant, serving authentic regional italian food in a most unique atmosphere
Located at the heart of Hanover Street, Lucia Ristorante & Bar is a North End institution. Opened in 1977, Lucia was the first to bring authentic Italian cuisine to Boston’s oldest neighborhood. We continue to combine traditional favorites with innovative new dishes in our distinctive atmosphere.
The Frattaroli Family, who opened the restaurant shortly after emigrating to Boston from the Abruzzo region of Italy, is proud to welcome new guests along with those who have been visiting Lucia since the beginning. Buon Appetito!
