"Lucia consistently garners raves, and chef David Uygur is an almost annual nominee for best chef at the James Beard Awards. The cozy atmosphere, personable staff, and most significantly, inventive twists on Italian food, which do not stray too far from the classics but offer enough of a twist to make eating them an experience, are worth putting your name on the reservations waitlist at this nine-table restaurant." - Courtney E.
