The ambience here is on par with what one might expect to find at a high end big city Italian restaurant, except better because you don't have to wait an ungodly amount of time to be seated. Really was a fan of the stucco styled walls with original brick peaking through. The service was prompt, our server Diana was excellent, and the food was delectable. I ordered the cavatappi pollo, which was absolutely delightful, and also got a side order of the burgundy mushrooms. MUST TRY! (If you like mushrooms that is; these may have been the best of my life). We topped things off with a splendid slice of cheesecake. Some of the best Italian fare you will find in the States in my book! A real hidden gem.
Had a great time in Alpine, looking for a nice place to eat, we chose Lucia. Easy to get into and seated right away. I was taking two friends out that live in the area. We ordered two appetizers, Tabellone Di Lusso ($26) and Asiago Focaccia with Olive Tapenade ($12). The first appetizer was good but the Focaccia was definitely pale, not crispy, too soft and the Olive Tapenade was odd because it was more like a paste. Friend #1 got the Bucatini Polpetta ($20) which was delicious. Friend #2 got the Lasagna Bolognese ($20) and they described it as a lot of pasta, not much sauce meat or cheese. Was slightly lacking in flavor. I got the Calzone with Pepperoni ($22, special). It was very interesting. There was no cheese or sauce that I could see or taste. As far as options in Alpine, this is definitely one of the better options, however, when compared to a real Italian restaurant, it pales. The meal was acceptable, but if I could describe it with one sentence, it would be, "the chef definitely can't be Italian".
The stuffed gouda rice balls were a great appetizer. The artichoke manicotti was awesome! Finally, the Alfredo Florentine lasagne was also very good! Excellent food!
