Lucia Ristorante — Restaurant in New Milford

So I took off 1 star for each dish I felt was subpar. Ordered a pizza to start and I haven't been more disappointed in a floppy underseasoned wet pizza. The tomatoes on the pizza were pretty much raw and just oozing water over the pizza. Flavors were disappointing and lacking. Probably could also have used another 3 minutes in the oven. The chicken Parm was probably the most disappointing thing that I've ordered though. It was soggy where the water from the chicken soaked through the breading. I had more flavor from sucking my fingers after eating celery sticks. No salt, no seasoning. Nada. The pasta that comes with the Parm was worse than spaghetti Os. I think I would have rather eaten chef boyardee. Flavorless sauce with overcooked pasta. The Fazzoletti D'Aragosta was actually good and only saving grace. The filling was flavorful and seasoned. The past was cooked correctly and the sauce complimented the dish well. Lastly, the tiramisu was... Not tiramisu? No lady fingers... Just disappointing yellow cake with the flavors of tiramisu. Dry and tasted fake. Go to big Y and get crav'n tiramisu fro the freezer section. Half the price and infinitely better. The blueberry mojito does deserve a shout out and pretty well made. Overall, I think this place needs to work on the basics of an Italian restaurant or just take it...

Came in there with my wife a couple of nights ago and although the food was good, what what I witnessed and the male server ruined my whole dining experience. His service was not that greatest. He was not very attentive or alert to our needs and the way he treated the other female employee was disturbing. I am not quite sure who she was or what her role was because he never introduced her or himself for that matter but she was standing back very quiet and running to his demands. I would notice he would tell her to go do something different every time she returned and she did without hesitation. But what was really disturbing, I heard her ask him a question or tell him something quietly and he rudely said "shhh, be quiet. There are customers around. I know you want to have a conversation and all but now is not the time" She polietly responded with "No, not at all. I am just trying to learn" I felt embarrassed for this young girl and if that is the way staff treats other employees its disgraceful and tasteless. Where were the managers at anyways? I hope she was able to stand up for herself. I...
