Mama Lucia's Italian - Newnan

My wife and I have a passion for discovering new restaurants, and those who know us are well aware of this hobby. During our recent outing, we took a short drive to Newnan, Georgia, the hometown of the legendary Alan Jackson. On a whim, we stumbled upon a delightful little Italian eatery called Mama Lucia’s. My wife ordered the Gambretti Alla Leonardo, while I went with the Adriatica. What a lucky find! We were absolutely delighted with our experience. The lunch portions were massive; I can only imagine how generous the dinner servings must be! I even ended up finishing my wife's dish since it was so good. I left feeling incredibly satisfied and happy.

The Italian cuisine at this restaurant is outstanding. Although I think there are areas that could be enhanced, I recognize that the local market presents challenges, making it difficult for the restaurant to achieve its full potential. The waitstaff is generally quite attentive, although there are moments when their service can be a bit inconsistent.

I truly appreciated the atmosphere of the restaurant; it has a cozy, family-friendly vibe while also conveying a sense of elegance. The staff was exceptionally friendly and attentive. The food was excellent, and the wine selection was quite impressive.

The food was excellent! The service was wonderful. It took a bit of time for our meals to arrive, but when they did, they were hot and freshly prepared! I will definitely be coming back!

However, I recently ordered takeout and encountered some issues. I got my usual dish but was surprised to see a $2 increase in the price, along with a takeout fee. Additionally, the portions of shrimp and scallops were smaller than what I received when dining in, yet the price remained the same, not including the extra charge. Nevertheless, the food was still delicious!
