Mamma Lucia of Olney

Stopped in for some pasta with my pops. Everything was great. As soon as you walk in the door and you smell the air, you know you're in for a treat. I got the shrimp Alfredo which was among the best I've ever had. I love the fettuccine noodles! My dad got salmon picata which he also rated very highly. Talked football with the owners son for a while. (the Giants will be back on top soon) Overall experience 9.5 out of 10.

I got glutened at this location after I placed my GF order with the manager, Linda, who reassured me she was familiar with my allergy. When I called them later to discuss my exposure to gluten she did not handle things well at all. She eventually offered a refund, but unfortunately I spent 2 days unwell for something that could have been avoided. Although they have GF pasta, please know that the meatballs are not.

Big ML fan. I frequent a number of them across the DC area and usually offer rave reviews of food and service. That stops today as I’m just in disbelief of my order. Chicken Alfredo. Basic staple right? I’ve had it several times in my life and at ML. I have officially written off the Olney location. The last two times at the Olney location, the dish was meh. Not my typical experience with ML and I chalked it up to bad nights. Shame on me for ordering a third time. The chicken was unseasoned and as it if it was boiled in water, chopped, and served. Upon inspection, there was almost NO SAUCE on the meal. Pasta and chicken. I had to add parmesan to make it edible. And burned bread! 6 slices of it. Yay me. Never again will I waste my money or time there. A 27 minute wait for

Comments had me a little worried. Here's my experience from a recent visit.... Service- quick, friendly and attentive. Our waiter was great! Food- delicious! -garlic bread- crunchy outside and soft inside. Comes with olive oil and Italian season - chicken parm- chicken and pasta were soo good! I noticed some complaints re too much sauce. I loved that it had extra sauce. I'm often asking for more at other restaurants. Thanks for making my life easier and meal better - lemon cake- good Atmosphere- clean, modern and plenty of seating

I come to Mamma Lucia in Olney every Friday night with my kids. Javi is the best chef in the business. The food is good, but we come because of him. He always greets us and makes me and the kids feel welcome. I highly recommend sitting at a bar table so you get the full Javi experience. Don’t be shy, and introduce yourself. He’s the guy in the Cowboys hat. Feel free to shame him for his choice in Football teams.
