    This is a REALLY good restaurant! I highly recommend that you get the baked ziti with the sausage the mamma Lucia's pizza and the cheesecake. Everything that I had was extremely delicious. I will be back again and again! Customer service and parking were great too.

    We had a pleasant time at Mamma Lucia. The garlic bread they bring to the table was so yummy, along with the olive oil and cheese mixture. Their pastas were hefty and were large portions. The pizza was one of my favorites, it was a massive pie and they did not skimp on toppings. This is a very cute restaurant and the food came out fast!

    Take home the extra for later

    This mama lucia location felt oddly like a parody of a fancy restaurant. Friendly wait staff, bread brought to the table, expansive menu, and drinks. But the waiter was comically aggressively nice and attentive to the point of annoyance, the bread was inedible being either too burnt or too soggy depending on which piece you picked, and the majority of the menu items were overpriced and not very good. The pizza pulls them out of disaster and into OK territory. Get the large since it's not that much more cost wise and you can always take the left overs home. My son and I split a large, ate half of it there and were stuffed, then I ate off the rest for a couple of days. Some good things that helped get us to 3 stars are that there is free parking, a rarity in silver spring, the pizza is good, and they are definitely trying very hard and you have to assume they'll find their stride since it seems they are willing to put in the effort. Get pizza skip everything else.

    Nice staff, everyone was attentive and helpful. The venue and restroom were clean, and the food was good. Try it for yourself. Bon appetit!

    I love the food at Mama Lucia. The pizza is always my go to, but I noticed a dish I hadn't seen before and decided to try their spaghetti squash, which I topped with olive oil, garlic and grilled chicken. It wasn't very clear I had to take a table on my own as the hostess/server appeared to be on her meal break. I wasn't in a rush but maybe in those instances having a sign that directs customers to seat themselves would be helpful. There is wear and tear of the dining tables and chairs, adding to casual ambience of the restaurant. Unfortunate that one must punch in a code to use the restroom.

    Chicken Parmigiana Sub

    Ordered dinner from here tonight and thought we'd have the same experience we did with the College Park location but we're sadly disappointed. The fettuccine alfredo primarily tasted of butter and nothing else. I found it even lacking basic salt. My husband ordered the chicken parmigiana sub and found it to be fine. Hopefully, it was just an off night but in case it wan't, I wouldn't come to this location again.

    Chicken parmigiana -- really good, and the portion size was massive!!

    I enjoyed eating at Mamma Lucia in Silver Spring! I went with a few friends for lunch on a Sunday afternoon. Luis was our waiter and he was awesome and very friendly. I ordered the chicken parmigiana, and it was huge!! The portion size was amazing, and I definitely had to take a to go box to eat it for two more meals at home. My friends got the carbonara and a pizza with alfredo sauce. The ambiance was nice and casual, nothing too fancy. I thought it was a little pricey for the casual atmosphere, but I didn't mind it too much because I enjoyed the food, and the service was great. I do recommend you give it a try if you're ever in the Silver Spring area and want to sit down at a casual Italian restaurant to have some pasta or pizza. I will probably be back. Thank you, Luis and everyone else at Mamma Lucia Silver Spring!

    Grilled Salmon with vegetables! Marvelous!

    Mamma Lucia provides excellent service! Luis is an amazing server and keeps clientele coming back. We had my fave Chicken Florentina, which is custom made sauce similar to Alfredo. It has seasone chicken breast covered in spinach and mozzarella cheese. My wife had the grilled salmon with vegetables. Plus I ordered a side of grilled skirt steak well done. Everything was deliciously made fresh!

    I have yet to try other slices. I'm pretty hooked on the lasagna pizza. It does not disappoint and it's pretty affordable.

    I had the shrimp Alfredo and it was super salty. It was not worth $30+ at all. The service was great... the waitresses were attentive.

I was a little worried the food wouldn't be as good because it was so busy, but that wasn't the case at all. We ordered two Combo B (OH SNAP!) and one Combo F (FEELIN' CRABBY). For one of the Combo B, we added an extra 3 lbs of crawfish, 3 lbs of clams, and 2 lbs of Dungeness crab. For each pound of seafood boil, it comes with one corn and two potatoes. The seafood boil was drenched in their ultimate Juicy Special sauce. Their sauce is so good! It's packed with bold flavors and a nice spicy kick (This makes it addicting).You also can't sleep on potatoes and corn! It's soft and sweet which balances out the bold tastes! If you're craving a seafood boil, Juicy Seafood is the place to go! Everything tasted amazing, and it's such a great value. If you're not sure which sauce to choose, just go with the Juicy Special. It's hands down the best! I'll definitely be back for more. Thank you for such a great experience!

The ambiance is great - the interior decor is kind of upscale restaurant mixed with a rustic-Italian vibe, while somehow still feeling casual. The outdoor seating is great too with space heaters and ample seating. Service was kind of spotty, but it was also very busy at the time. The entrees and drinks were where it shined for me. Everything was really tasty with a unique blend of flavors. Dishes tended to be in the upper $20+ range, so I wouldn't classify things as cheap, but it felt worth the price for what I was getting. They also have a Happy Hour menu and special menus that seem to rotate (there was a 3-course tasting menu at the time I was there). Very cool spot and will likely be back again.

Alex, our server was AMAZING!!! please ask for him every time! We initially wanted to be at the bar but it was packed! We ended up in a private style booth in the back. The booth offers curtains and the ability to adjust your lighting and music.... lovely bonus. We ordered a lot: Shrimp Cocoktail -9 Crab balls - 9 (wish they were more or bigger...comes with 5) Steak Frites - 8 Chicken - 8 (didnt care the root vegetables but the flavor, overall, was great) Scallops - 7 (great flavor, some were under. The bed of spring vegetables could have been spinach instead...?) Complimentary birthday cake 10...amazing!! We also got a few drinks that I cant rate, but my friends said were great!

The staff as always is great! They have an all night happy hour at the bar only and the drinks were as I remembered. During the happy hour I stick to the classic martini offerings. My go to is the lemon drop. Love it! Unfortunately the happy hour food offerings were not as I remembered. I appreciate the staff because anything we did not like they took back and removed it from the tab. I did enjoy the wings though. If you are looking for a place to meet a friend for a drink at happy hour I would say come but maybe not focus on the bar bites. Again this review is only for their happy hour. I went this time on a Tuesday and it was not as crowded that night but I know sometimes happy hour can be packed and it's only offered in the bar area.
