Reviews for Mamma Lucia in Wilmington, NC
This was a let down on many levels. The restaurant was decorated with fake plants, Christmas lights and fake candles. The fake... plants had a layer of dust and there was a disco bulb in one of the can lights. The service was adequate, but the food was ahuge disappointment. I ordered the shrimp Alfredo and it came out looking like soup. It had absolutely no taste and I had toadd a ton of salt and pepper. For the atmosphere and quality of food for the price, don't bother. Read more
Mama Lucias is one of my favorite restaurants! But I was disappointed this past Friday night. We decided on Mama Lucias for our... anniversary. We have always had excellent food every single time before. One of my favorite dishes is the chicken parmigiana .The chicken has always been so delicious and fresh plump and juicy?. BUT this Friday the chicken was so thin tough and verychewy couldn?t even tell it was chicken. I didn?t complain because Francescas sauce is absolutely so delicious that it savedsome of the dish. I am sure Francesca didn?t prepare it because she always prepared the dish in the past when it was sowonderful( best in Wilmington) I really believe she would not have sent this dish out the way it was.I did notice a differentcook in the kitchen upon entering . I hope on my next visit the chicken parmigiana will be back to its original wonderfulstandard!! Read more
This is by far the best Italian food I have ever had. Service is always wonderful, and the food is always delicious. Me and my... husband come here every year for our anniversary. This is the first place we ate as a married couple, and we come here for anycelebration we can! Personally I love the chicken parmigiana, and my husband always tries something new. Read more
Our waitress was attentive and kind. She checked in with us consistently to see if there was anything we needed. The owner came... out and delivered a plate personally. Our dinner was made special by a complimentary gift. The dishes are large but delicious.Prices are reasonable for what you get and remember there's terrible inflation right now. Read more
Dinner with the family. Got the fried calamari for an appetizer; crispy and delicious. For the main course, got the pollo... limone, ravioli trio, and the spaghetti bolognese. The pollo limone and the ravioli were outstanding. The spaghetti bolognesetaste was pretty bland, kind of disappointing. The service was excellent. Completes the meal with desserts, almond cake,tiramisu, and limoncello. All outstanding. Read more
Always look forward to eating here when in town. Real Italian food prepared to order by an Italian chef. Don't expect a... high-end designer interior. They did what they could with an old building and a shoestring startup budget. It does have itsown charm. It's clean and comfortable. Remember, your meal will be freshly prepared to order, so don't go if you're rushing toa show. Relax and enjoy a glass of wine while your meal is freshly prepared. Read more
Ate here on Christmas eve while on vacation. Despite having only one server I can't complain. But food was off the charts! It... was delicious and massive portions, you better be hungry when you go. The decor was kinda odd but you can't deny how great thefood is prepared and how tasty the marinara sauce was. I wish this place was close to home, I'd be a regular. Great job MammaLucia's. Read more
A very "old school" looking establishment. But excellent service, delicious food and large portions. A wide source of selections... on the menu and they prepared a vegan dish for me. If you love Italian food, I would recommend them most highly! Read more
