Mamma Lucia Restaurant

I was pleasantly surprised with this establishment. From the outside it appears to be just another Italian wannabe restaurant in a strip center but the food was delicious. The carbonara rivaled the dish I had in Italy and the fettuccine bolognese was well prepared. Another reason not to judge a book by its cover.

Definitely not what you except from the outside. The food was so delicious from the bread to the actual meal!!!!!! They have a good menu for everyone. I think i found my new favorite restaurant. Although they were busy the service was great no long wait time. I just wanted to keep eating when i was full

The staff is very attentive. Mamma Lucia's appears to do the majority of their business in carry-out or delivery. The kitchen staff really knows how to hustle. The spaghetti with meat sauce and the chicken parmesan were excellent. I was not impressed with the chicken piccata. The dish was not bad, but it wasn't what I associate with chicken piccata. This may simply be a difference in the recipe. All of the components were well prepared. The chicken looked like it was poached. There was no breading or browning on the exterior. The sauce was very light, slightly more viscose than water. The sauce did have a great white wine flavor, plenty of capers, and lemon flavor. I would eat here again, I would not recommend the chicken piccata. I think the food at Mamma Lucia's is more of a 4.5 to 4.7 and not just a 4.

Don't let this restaurant fool you from the outside. It's at the end of a shopping mall. As soon as you walk in you start to realize you are at the happiest place in Silver Springs. I was greeted right away by an energetic young gentleman (wish I got his name). I let him know I was just visiting town and he gave me some ideas for dinner. He had the kitchen start making my dinner before I even sat down. My table server was quick and very kind. He got my Pepsi and water as soon as I sat down. Then out came the Cesar salad and garlic toast. Every piece of lettuce was crisp, no wilting or brown pieces. The toast was delicious and the side of parmesan oil mixture was perfect. Now the best part the actual dinner. I had the Pasta Brunello which was fantastic. The vodka sauce was delicious, the mushroom were not over cooked, the chicken was a little dry but the sauce more than made up for it. The bowl came out super quick and was very hot to start. The portion was more than I could eat in a single sitting, and that's saying something. If your still reading this review, just go and eat, you won't regret it.

I want to start off with saying (Anthony) was amazing he was very helpful and definitely made me feel welcomed.. He deserves a raise!!! This was the first time I was ever here the pizza was right on and amazing the garlic Knotts were good as well.. The quality of food is great.. I can't wait to come back and try more..

We’ve been coming to the Silver Spring Mama Lucia’s location for over 16 years. The atmosphere, friendly & attentive staff, and the consistently good food always keep us coming back. For a time, we had lived just across the street and went here more frequently. Now we live about a half an hour away, but still make it a point to come back to this great restaurant as often as we can.
