Mamma Lucia

The pizza here is bland and tasteless. I can’t comment on any of there other food because I havn’t had it.
I’m from NY and know good food… Maybe that’s why.

This is great Italian spot that is close by in Frederick. Whether you are looking for pizza or pasta… you won’t be disappointed. I have been to the one in olney several times and I actually prefer this one. It is a newer place and food is so much better. My favorite is the bolognese and the bread and oil is delish.
Don’t forget to check in for a free cannoli!!!

In the past, I was always pleased with the food and service. Had not been there within the last six months with the many so new options in the area. We went on a Saturday for lunch. We found it odd that there was only one other table seated at this time on the weekend, but we figured it was just good luck to not have a wait.
I had eggplant parmesan. It was average. The sauce was not very flavorful or plentiful and the eggplant itself (which has no sauce on it… served next to the pasta) was dry and oily. I had to order the dinner portion otherwise no salad comes with it… My wife had mushroom ravioli. She disliked the sauce. Said it was way too sweet. She finished under a quarter of them.
The salad greens seemed to have been bagged with other ingredients added. The free bread was good.
Another couple came in and asked about some lunch special. The waitress told them that was only during the week. The claimed to see a sign that said daily. The got up and left. Another older couple came in and ordered «peppers and sausage». It came out as a sub and he said I never told you the word sub. This is not what I had last time. The were unhappy to say the least.
Overall, a below average experience. We will give it a few months and try again.

I ordered the pizza, nothing special. The sauce is good but it is very greasy, even the plain cheese. The crust is fair, a good thickness but the edge is not chewy but more dense. It is price at $ 42 for a large cheese and a large pepp/​mushroom. They were 18″ pizzas so very large. Not good cold the next day though, you got to reheat it.

I recently dined here with my family, and it was a really wonderful experience. We don’t live in this area anymore, so it has been quite a while since we have eaten here. We were a little nervous when we heard that the restaurant was under new management, but thankfully it was still amazing! When we walked in I noticed it was very clean, which is always nice! As soon as we walked in the staff was very welcoming and friendly. We sat down to eat and were taken care of right away by our server. The food was excellent! I got the seafood asparagus, and I was completely blown away by how great it tasted. One of the managers came by to check on us and they were very friendly. I would definitely recommend eating here, and I know that my family will definitely be back next time we are in the area!

The Chicken Marsala was very watery with little to no flavor. Pretty disappointing, especially when compared to Carraba’s. On the bright side, our server was very nice.

Horrible experience!!! The manager was so rude and didn’t care our food was cold. Never came by the table and never wanted to help. Food is horrible and the service is horrible.

The service is always good. The food however is priced like a fancy restaurant but tastes more like a pizza shop.

Ok, so I am from California as you all may know and I have been looking for a place to at least offer something close to «ROUND TABLE PIZZA» but I cant find anything out here :(BUT this place is the closest I have gotten. I love the bread they bring to you when you first sit down and the olive oil and Parmesan cheese dip. The pizza was great, we got the all meat. No complaints. I like my pizza well done and this was a great pizza. Very flavorful, the sauce was great as well. Id definitely go back. The service was great as well, we always had a full beverage and a clean table, Id go back.

By far the best Pizza in this area, wonderful crust, sauces, real cheese and excellent toppings. They are not cheep, but you get what you pay for. We have eaten here many times and both food and service were just fabulous.

Despite the mixed reviews, they deliver and they said they were under new ownership, so we figured– why not roll the dice?
I have to say, I’m largely glad we tried this place.
We ordered a large lasagna pizza, and the lady taking our order told us they had a special– any second pizza for $ 2.99.
That’s a pretty sweet deal considering the lasagna pizza was $ 25, which is INSANE for a pizza.
However, it was a damn good pizza. The ground beef was very fine, had great flavor, and wasn’t overused on the pizza. The ricotta was creamy and fresh, and it was complemented by the mozzarella and thin crust on the pizza.
While I wouldn’t call this new York style, it was a great thin crust, and a very creative pizza that was well executed and delicious.
Our second choice was a veggie pizza– which was just good, not great. Standard toppings– canned olives, tomatoes, onions, peppers, canned mushrooms.
Will definitely order the lasagna pizza again, on payday when we are feeling flush :)

Great service and food. The calamari was fresh, not frozen and must try. This is not your chain food establishment but a true Italian restaurant with authentic food.

I had the eggplant parmesan, a slice of not hot pizza, garden salad, and they brought a bread basket that confused the crap out of me. It took a couple times asking to get the bread and it was only 2 slices. This place has meh written all over it. 3 stars for loads of leftovers though.

Very overpriced for the quality of food that you get. I was very disappointed to spend the amount of money for this type of food.
Tasted bland, and watery. Pasta was over cooked. Not what I expected for the price. Would not recommend this to anyone.

No, no, no, NO!
Ordered lasagna for takeout. It’s pricey at $ 16 but I was really craving cheese and carbs. What I got was a big block of over cooked pasta that was hard to cut through. The sauce was watery and didn’t mesh well with the pork (I was expecting beef). I ate maybe a quarter of it before giving up.
The lasagna comes with your choice of garden or Caesar salad and I opted for Caesar. When I first opened the container, I thought there were rat droppings on the salad! Turns out they were croutons, burned to a crisp. What sort of restaurant thinks it’s okay to serve customers black croutons?
I don’t know if there are any good Italian restaurants in Frederick but Mama Lucia ain’t it.

This place seems to have pretty mixed reviews. I’ve been here a half dozen times or so in the past few months and I haven’t been disappointed. Pasta dishes are good (though a little pricey).
If you like thin crusted, floppy NY style pizza, this place will make you HAPPY. At least it does the trick for me, and most of my friends. Good sauce, good crust, lots of cheese. They take things pretty seriously if you say «extra sauce» too.
Sometimes service can be a little slow even when things aren’t busy but we’re typically not in a rush so it’s never been a big bother. That’d be my only real «down» to this joint.

The Greek salad I got was very tasty and filling (with grilled chicken)
We also split a gluten free pizza. Umm… not so yummy. It tasted pretty basic and right out of the freezer. I will not go there for pizza again. But a salad, yes.
4 stars for salad
5 stars for it being quiet on a Monday night.
2 stars: gluten free pizza was not worth the cost.

I have been to this place 3 times this month. I think that it is vital that I express the positive experience and the good food I have eaten here since my original review for the Rockville location.
I now know the difference from authentic Italian food and traditional Italian food. Mamma Lucia isn’t gourmet and it isn’t authentic. I can appreciate that, sometimes a mature pallet craves simplicity. Mamma Lucia «hits the spot» sauce, pasta, Italian seasoning and meat. Done.
I usually order the spaghetti with meat sauce and then I add Italian sausage. I order to go for lunch @ $ 10.50 the dinner price is $ 14.50.
Quick delivery, large portion and comes with 2 pieces of garlic bread. I’m stuffed and satisfied. Very polite delivery guy, try my best to tip them well.

Very surprised to find this late last night.
We ordered the clams and linguini and to our amazement we could add another pasta for just $ 3.99 ON Monday nights.
Pasta was really good and we had a bottle of wine at a reasonable price.

This is a place I’ve been going to since it first opened. I love their pizzas (we always get one with sausage and mushrooms), their seafood salad (although expensive), and their pastas. Their portions are ample and I typycially bring home leftovers.
One of my favorite pasta dishes is the Salsicce alla Napoletana. It’s penne with Italian sausage in a light marinara sauce.
Recently I went with a friend for lunch and she ordered the salad with the steak on top. Huge salad! I had the Salsicce alla Napoletana.
Prices are reasonable for lunch, although I did notice their prices have gone up a buck or so since they first opened. Prices are a little high for some of their dinner entrees, although where I dine, this is on par or less than other places in Frederick.
Great place for families. Very good service too from the staff. Chris, the manager, always greets me warmly, as he does his other guests.
Highly recommended!
