Lucia Pasta Bar

We had a pretty okay experience here. It wasn't horrible but it wasn't really anything special either. The restaurant itself is very pretty and we sat at the pasta bar, but didn't get a very friendly kitchen staff experience. The chef closest to us said only one thing the entire time we were there and only after we asked a question - we should have sat in the dining room so that our chairs were at least comfortable because the ones at the pasta bar were hard and uncomfortable. On top of that we felt a bit rushed. We were in and out in 40 minutes despite ordering a bottle of wine, two appetizers, and two pastas. We started with the focaccia and the persimmon bruschetta. The persimmons were not ripe yet so they were slightly astringent and not really sweet which is a shame because it would have been an amazing dish with ripe fruit. The focaccia was a really tasty piece of bread but I wouldn't describe it as focaccia. It was dense, with a very tight crumb, and seemed very lean for what is supposed to be an olive oil enriched dough. For the mains we had the sweet potato agnolotti and the campanelle alla vodka. The campanelle was supposed to have nduja and shallots but it tasted more like passatta that was cooked close to those ingredients instead of with them. Overall it was just an okay tomato sauce with bland egg pasta that was slightly overcooked. However the agnolotti was amazing. They were tasty, light, perfectly cooked in a really flavorful sauce with crispy kale that accented it perfectly. Hands down this was the star of the night and a dish I would order again

If you’re craving authentic Italian cuisine, this spot is an absolute gem. From the moment you walk in, the aroma of freshly baked bread, garlic, and olive oil transports you straight to Italy. The ambiance is warm and rustic — perfect for a cozy dinner or a special night out. Every dish feels like it’s made with love and tradition. The sauces are rich and flavorful, and the ingredients taste incredibly fresh. The wood-fired bread was a standout — just the right amount of char. The staff are friendly, attentive, and clearly passionate about the food they serve. Shoutout to our server Shaye who helped us with all the veggie options on the menu and the best recommendations! My favorite part was the use of metal straws in my cocktail! 😍 PS: Don’t skip dessert — the Panna cotta was light, creamy, and the perfect sweet ending to an unforgettable meal. Highly recommend! And can’t wait to go back for more! Pictured: CHERRY TOMATO FOCCACIA, TORTELLONI, BOCCE BALL, MOSCOW MULE & PANNA COTTA

If you love Italian food, this is a must try in Savannah. We're locals and didn't know it had already opened! Homemade pasta, brick oven pizzas, and a beautiful outside court yard for enjoying this amazing fall weather or indoor seating at the pasta bar! We tried the homemade foccacia bread, seafood pasta and tagliatelli bolognese! The sauces were light and delicious, filled with flavor! This historic site has now been transformed to such a beautiful restaurant. We heard there will be more surprises coming soon with the restoration and the staff was so complimentary of their owner. They were pleasant, very knowledgeable and kind. Thank you for making our date Night so special, Emma ! I think that was our server's name last night. We highly recommend the homemade Canolis, too!

Absolutely incredible experience! I visited this new Italian restaurant last night, and from start to finish it was perfection. The atmosphere is cozy yet upscale — you can tell they put so much thought into every detail. The staff was warm, attentive, and made me feel right at home. The food was phenomenal. The pasta was clearly homemade — fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. You can truly taste the quality in every bite. I sat at the pasta bar, which I highly recommend — watching the chefs in action made the whole experience even more special. The cocktails were creative and balanced. Everything from the service to the presentation was top-tier.

Best pasta spot in Savannah! Such a delight enjoying dinner in this newly renovated building. Love the industrial vibes which perfectly complemented our meal. And the food—wow! Every dish was bursting with flavor and looked so gorgeous that we couldn’t stop taking photos. Absolutely unforgettable. Amazing service from their professional staff as well!

Pretty dope Italian spot in Savannah, it definitely leans more on the American Italian side more so than proper Italian. Think trendy Brooklyn Italian but done well. Great space design wise, love the bar area open kitchen, we had drinks to start out back but I hope they make that proper seating! Will return,

Eating the pasta was a dream!!! I would recommend the foccacia bread, aranccini and the octopus with potatoes were antother level!! We sat at the bar because the dinning room is too thigh and was hot. Bar we love it!! We’ll be back for pizza and other starters :)

My wife and I had a wonderful experience at the newly opened Lucia Pasta Bar. You can tell the care and thoughtfulness that went in to not only restoring the space but even more so crafting the food options on the menu. The Squid and Potato was sooooo good. The Focaccia Bread was a must. And there's obviously something so much better about hand made pasta crafted fresh each day. I would rate this as one of the best restaurants in Savannah. I can't think of a place I've had better food at this level of fine dining. It is on the more expensive side, but I felt the quality justified the price. I'm looking forward to see how they expand or change the menu in the future and can't wait for our next trip back.

Service was good but small plates along with the pasta were decent but nothing special. Def not worth the one month wait to get reservations. On a side note. This is not Lucia's fault but looking out and seeing this guy go to the bathroom while I'm eating doesn't exactly set the mood. City mission def drives patrons away with these folks all over the sidewalks.

I am SO happy this restaurant opened! Savannah desperately needed it! Every dish is truly perfection. I've been twice now, and both times we started with the octopus and potato appetizer... heavenly doesn't even begin to describe it. And the salad? Not "just a salad." It's refreshing, bright, and the perfect palate cleanser for the rest of the meal. The pastas and pizzas are flawless-order anything and you'll be happy. Easily in my top three favorite restaurants in Savannah right now!

I was lucky to snag a seat here! Even though it was about an hour wait for a solo spot, I passed the time with a drink at Smol and came back just in time to grab a seat at the bar. The space inside is absolutely beautiful, and the atmosphere made the wait worthwhile. I ordered a cocktail and the tortellini pasta dish--both were fantastic. I only stayed about 20 minutes to make sure others could get a chance to sit, but I definitely want to return and explore more of their menu.

Great experience with friendly attentive staff. They did an amazing job with the building. The pasta fucks! Great ingredients plus great cooks equals amazing pasta dishes. It can be a little crowded inside when busy but that shows you how great the food is.

Every dish was exceptional. The bolognese, the steak, the mortadella pizza, just to name a few. The staff were friendly and attentive. Great vibe, music, decor, all of it. I would travel back to Savannah just to eat here!

Made reservations, seated immediately, didn't feel too close to neighboring tables as others complained, great customer service, cute aesthetic. My squid ink pasta was great, except my clams were tough. He said his bolognese just tasted like spaghetti. The focaccia was really good, huge portion too! Cocktails were awesome! 90s R&B was a pleasant surprise! I'd go back for sure.

We went on a Thursday evening so the noise level was moderate. We sat at the bar. Our server is named Shay, she was knowledgeable about the wine selection and attentive throughout our time. The servings were small compared to most restaurant dishes but the taste, fresh ingredients made the dishes stand out. The venue is small and parking limited but the ambiance was great and the food offerings were fresh and original. We will return for another evening.

I was ready to love this place - it's close by and the chef is well respected. I was sadly disappointed. While the flavors are good, the portions are a bit small. I know "arancino" means there is one, but normally one would be larger considering the price. 7 scarpinocc seemed a bit meager, especially as the shape lends itself to a small amount of filling. It was delicious, but a couple of more pieces would have helped. Service was good: friendly and on top of things. The biggest drawback is the volume. It's insanely loud with only hard surfaces and nothing to dampen the sound. You cannot hear across the table. Honestly, I couldn't wait to get out of there, and my husband felt the same. We skipped after dinner coffee/cocktails and dessert to escape to the street. It's a cute space but very uncomfortable.

Great food. Attentive but not overly attentive service. We look forward to our next dining at Lucia!

We were seated right on time for our reservation, which I appreciated. Our table was small and placed next to a door that staff and some patrons used frequently, which did take away from the atmosphere. While the lighting fixtures added to the restaurant's beautiful ambiance, one jutted into our space, making the table feel even tighter. The curved, petite chairs weren't the most comfortable, but they certainly ensured you wouldn't overindulge. Portions here are well-balanced--not the oversized plates you often find in American dining, but just the right amount. We tried the much-talked-about focaccia; personally, I prefer a lighter, airy, and crisp style, so the denser loaf wasn't my favorite. On the other hand, the beet dish was excellent, and the tortellini had a nice kick of spice. For non-drinkers, options are limited to water or canned soda, with no straws available. Dessert was a highlight--the cannoli shell was perfectly crisp, though the filling leaned a bit heavy on citrus. Still, the texture was light and pleasant. Our waitress was warm, attentive, and knowledgeable, answering all our questions with ease.

New and trying to be excellent. Very busy at 5:30 pm on a weekday, great food, but a 45-minute wait for the main course delivery. A wonderful time for a couple's conversation, but because of the noise and the material of the floor and walls, no voices could be heard. Yelling in conversation is not ideal. My pasta entrée was excellent, as was my wife's, but $15 glass of wine spoiled the experience. Two people, with a tip $108.95.
