Lucia's — top-tier italian in Wicker Park. Unpretentious and comfortable, exactly what you want. The kitchen takes tradition seriously. BYOB.

“Sandwich’s you must try : Grilled chicken sandwich, Sams sandwich on the focaccia bread, Lucia’s favorite & The Ribeye sandwich”
This was probably one of the most disappointing dinning experiences I’ve had I Chicago.

“Amazing customer service, such a pleasure to work with planning and on site.”
Amazing customer service, such a pleasure to work with planning and on site! Hosted a 40th birthday, it was wonderful having the whole room to ourselves. They set it up so nice for us (picture has my added decor also), were allowed to bring a cake and the byob was the icing!

“Neighborhood institution where you can still interact directly with the people making your delicious food to order.”
Neighborhood institution where you can still interact directly with the people making your delicious food to order. Parm sandwiches can't be beat for a hearty lunch. They have a nice selection Italian products at reasonable prices. Thanks Lucia for personally filling 100 mini-cannoletti for a recent event too!

“Cute spot for a quick deli lunch.”
Cute spot for a quick deli lunch. We tried the Lucia sandwich (pretty classic Italian sub) and the chicken parm. Compared to other Italian subs in the city, I liked that it wasn’t dry. Flavor was there and the bread was very soft. Perhaps too much bread but overall would definitely come back. The chicken parm was also great but I feel the bread is almost too soft for a sandwich that wet. I would personally skip the warm sandwich next time. Looking forward to coming back!

“Met a friend for appetizers and wine, then decided to bring my lady on a dinner date.”
Met a friend for appetizers and wine, then decided to bring my lady on a dinner date. We were so happy that we returned the following day to try something else. Everything was delicious, the atmosphere was charming and the service was excellent. BYOB makes it an affordable option. I want to return to try everything Lucia's has to offer including the sandwiches on the front deli side of the business. The owners are down to earth beautiful people.

“If you’ve never been to Lucia’s, I suggest you drop what you’re doing and run.”
If you’ve never been to Lucia’s, I suggest you drop what you’re doing and run. I swear by that place!! I’ve been dining at Lucia’s all my childhood and I seem to never get tired of anything from that restaurant. Sandwich’s you must try : Grilled chicken sandwich, Sams sandwich on the focaccia bread, Lucia’s favorite & The Ribeye sandwich! Hospitality at Lucia’s is also great! Feels like home. I stopped by today 3/3 Friday around noon, I placed my order to go for all the sandwiches above (4) paid and notified them I’d be back. I took around 20-30mins to return and realized my order was not ready. In the matter of 15mins the restaurant was so full!! Like I said I’ve been dining at Lucia’s for ages and I couldn’t feel more satisfaction at just viewing how outrageously busy they were. Such a proud moment. I love small businesses but Lucia’s will always hold a special place in my heart. I hope this restaurant continues to grow, best wishes.

I **loved** Lucia's! I stumbled upon this gem and feel like I won the lottery! BYOB, homemade pasta, everything prepared with love... restaurants like this built and fed the neighborhood. We'll be back, again and again. Grazie!

“Although this is a fairly small shop, the sandwiches are huge on flavor with the old school italian feel.”
Although this is a fairly small shop, the sandwiches are huge on flavor with the old school italian feel. Ordered the Yale Special with proscuitto, pesto mayo and fresh basil, which was all fantastic. But the star was the fresh mozzarella (bocconcini). The creaminess offset the salty prosciutto with the fresh bread binding it all together. Chips was included (was not expecting that - nice). Will definitely need to try their dinner menu!!

“This place was so yummy and the experience of eating here was so lovely.”
This place was so yummy and the experience of eating here was so lovely. We got the calamari. Did you know it's not supposed to be hard and chewy? The server brought us two things of bread!! Two! The gnocchi was so so good. I wish it had a little more sauce because the sauce was so absolutely scrumptious. Wish I had room for dessert.
