A long table,set foreveryone.

Come hungry, leave family.

Trattoria Lucia has been the neighborhood's living room since 1998 — pasta rolled by hand each morning, sauce simmering since dawn, and one long table where strangers leave as regulars. Pull up a chair.

No velvet ropes. No tasting-menu theater. Just Nonna's recipes and a seat saved for you.

Our story

It started with Lucia, a rolling pin, and a borrowed table.

In 1998, Lucia Ferraro turned the front room of a corner storefront into a kitchen and set out one long table she'd borrowed from the church hall. She cooked the way her mother cooked outside Bologna — slowly, generously, and for far more people than she'd planned for.

The table never went back. Word travelled the block, then the neighborhood. Birthdays were celebrated here. First dates turned into anniversaries. Kids who did their homework in the corner booth now bring their own kids.

Today Lucia's son Marco runs the kitchen and her granddaughter Gia greets you at the door, but nothing important has changed: the pasta is still rolled by hand every morning, the sauce still simmers from dawn, and there's still one long table where nobody eats alone.

Handmade daily

Flour, eggs, and an hour before the doors open.

Every morning before the neighborhood wakes, we roll the day's pasta by hand — no machines doing the thinking, no freezer doing the waiting. What we make is what we serve, and when a shape runs out, it's gone until tomorrow.

Rolled fresh at 7am

Nine shapes a day, by hand, from one family recipe.

Sauce since dawn

Sunday gravy that's been on the stove since before sunrise.

The long table

Sit twelve, twenty, or the whole neighborhood.

The long table is the heart of the room — twenty-four seats running the length of the trattoria, the way Lucia always wanted it. Most nights it fills with whoever walks in.

But on a quiet afternoon or for a special evening, it's yours. Birthdays, baby showers, rehearsal dinners, the after-work crew, the whole extended family — we'll set the table, pour the wine, and bring the food family-style until everyone's full.

Big-group dinners

Up to 24 at the long table, served family-style.

Celebrations

Birthdays, anniversaries, baby showers, graduations.

Buyouts

Take the whole room for the evening — just ask Gia.

From the regulars

What the neighborhood says.

We had our first date here in 2003 and our rehearsal dinner here last fall, at the same long table. Gia remembered. Of course she did.
Elena & Tomás · Regulars since 2003
The tagliatelle ruined every other Italian place for me. You can taste that someone rolled it by hand that morning. I'm there every Thursday.
David R. · Thursday regular
Marco fed forty of us for my mother's 80th without breaking a sweat, and treated each plate like it was the only one. This is our family's second kitchen.
The Okonkwo family · Neighbors since 2011
I moved across the city and still order the lasagna tray every Sunday. It tastes like being home.
