    We had a lovely Christmas Eve dinner at Lucia's. As always, the food was excellent: We had Chicken Marsala, Veal Saltimbocca, and Chicken Saggittario, all perfectly prepared and beautifully presented. The wait staff at Lucia's is terrific -- friendly, helpful, and attentive without being intrusive.
