While Bruno was running the popular Rockville Mamma Lucia, his future business partner was running Jimmy's Place in Gaithersburg, Maryland. Jimmy and Bruno were introduced by a common acquaintance and…
Mamma Lucia's can be hit or miss, but tonight they knocked it out of the park. My last order was so bad that I haven't ordered in months, but I rolled the dice tonight and so glad I did! My food was PERFECT. Always order jimmy sauce for the bread, it makes it. The chicken was beyond delicious. I ordered vodka sauce instead of marinara and it was amazing. Subbed veggie for salad and the cook was a 10/10.

The carbonara was swimming in way too much cream! I asked that I would get that dish with garlic and olive oil instead of the cream sauce and they didn't do it. It was way too rich!
The calamari was very good, especially since it was delivered! It was crispy and fresh and lots of it, more than I thought, I would get. It was enjoyed thoroughly!

I ordered the normally delicious Portobello Mushroom Ravioli dinner and it only had 9 pieces of ravioli in it. It looked smaller than a lunchtime portion. I have ordered this at least six times over the last two years and this portion was less than half of what they normally gave us. WHAT HAPPENED?? The container was visibly short of the contents. I cannot imagine a chef or cook misfilling the container like this.
My other entree was Eggplant Parmesean and it was a full dinner portion size and it was delicious.

Delicious NY style pizza. I love the thin crust pizza. As a former NYer, I think Mamma Lucia's pizza is very close to what I remember.
