"There are plenty of classic Italian-American spots in the North End, but when it’s outdoor dining season, Lucia is the spot, mainly because they struck up a deal with a historic neighboring church to share courtyard patio access. Day or night, this is where you want to be, whether you’re sitting under an umbrella in the sun with a plate of savory chicken marsala or under strings of lights sipping heavy pours of rosato." - tanya edwards
