We’re making people happy through the power of great food – and the annual chile pepper eating contest. Get to know us and see why El Pelon has become a Boston staple.

"Lucia Italian Restaurant" is located on Thames Street just across from Brick Market Place at the summit of a half-flight of stairs. Come and enjoy our authentic Northern Italian Cuisine, intimate atmosphere and friendly service.

We came from Italy, Vicenza ( a pretty city 30 miles west from Venice ). Established since 1993 our restaurant serves authentic Northern Italian Food, unique flavors, fresh ingredients and creative recipes prepared by our Italian Chefs.

Riccardi’s is prepared the authentic way,“the Italian” and “the Sicilian” way, like my Mama Giovanna cooked for me and like her Mama Nunziatta cooked for her. That is why we know you will enjoy your dining experience here, returning soon to sample perhaps another one of our special dishes. Our family recipe for thin, crispy crust pizza has been the local favorite since 1973.

If this is your first time dining with us, you will quickly realize why so many of our customers dine with us regularly. They have discovered we work hard to offer the best Italian cuisine. The little touches are important to us, that’s why we’ve enjoyed the pleasure of serving you for over thirty years.
