Come in for a huge juicy burger at our Kirkland restaurant!
Business Summary what's this?
For one star Italian, try Mama Lucia's in Kirkland. Reviewers didn't rate this place very highly. When you step inside the restaurant, you'll notice a romantic atmosphere. This restaurant is inexpensive. This restaurant features delivery and lunch.
The sophisticated, chic restaurant offers a warm and relaxed atmosphere with innovative Italian comfort cuisine and eminent modern prices. Lucia offers everything that people are looking for in a neighborhood restaurant. This new arrival is a ?modern delight? and certain to emerge as the favorite restaurant for stylish Eastsider's as well as Seattleites! After dinner enjoy the nightlife Lucia also has to offer. Everything from live music to private parties and martini's that will surely satisfy! Our new outdoor seating is very cozy and adds a summer touch to the already cool Lucia.

Go to Purple.How can this place call themselves Italian when they can't put together anything even resembling gnocchi? It's embarrassing how bad the food is here when Purple is a stone's throw away.
