The waitstaff is AWESOME! Tony was our waiter and he was very friendly and attentive. His demeanor makes you smile. Our drinks were never empty. The food tastes amazing! Portions are reasonable for the prices. I would definitely recommend this place!! The only thing I could say would be a con is that it is very loud.

Nice restaurant with a full bar. The food was good, but was a bit pricey for what we received, IMO. Good service and a quaint atmosphere.

We came on a Monday, when they had half off wine bottles. I enjoyed the Saccheti for my entree and highly recommend. We finished off with a chocolate cake with raspberry sauce. Everything was lovely, will return!

Very disappointed....... I'm very disappointed in this locally run restaurant. We planned to celebrate my children's birthday yesterday at Lucretia. I knew that we were going to be a large party of 10. 10 people is sometimes hard to accommodate on a Saturday night so I phoned a couple weeks ahead to confirm that there would not be a problem accommodating us. I was told,over the phone, that reservations were not accepted but there would be not problem " getting us in" at 5:30 pm. I explained to the gentleman on the phone that we had children coming with us and it was imperative that we were able to be seated at our arrival. I asked him if coming earlier would be better. He assured me that there would be no problem with us dining at 5:30pm; they would make it work. We arrived around 5:20pm. We were told at that time that there was a 40 minute wait. I was a little upset because I was told there was not going to be a problem being seated at 5:30 pm. Reluctantly, we waited and waited, and waited because we didn't have reservations anywhere else and it would be difficult at that time of night to walk in and be seated anywhere local. I checked in with the hostesses after an hour and told them that the kids need to eat and we are fine with being split up into smaller groups at this point just so that we can eat. The two girls ( hostesses) response was that they were waiting for a specific party to leave for us to be seated. The manager chimes in that it would ruin the mood of the night if we couldn't be seated together. During the hour that we had been waiting, more than 8 couples and small groups had been seated. Now 7:00 approaches, 1 1/2 hours later.... The kids are beyond hungry. The adults are getting cranky themselves. My children, whose birthday it is, just want to go home. We are making plans to go to a fast food restaurant so that we can eat. We are finally seated at 7:10pm. We were given a couple plates of bruschetta for our long wait and miscommunication. Hmm.... I do not believe I will be giving this restaurant my business again. Very disappointing. The food was good but not worth all the hassle! -

Great Italian food and more to choose from.the atmosphere in the old house is very niceand romantic with the right table.service is always top notch here.in summer you can eat out side which is the best out door dining in crown point.my wife and I luv this place.
Nice location in Crown Point. Lovely atmosphere and the food is of good itialian quality. Most of the staff are friendly. There is one waiter that has some attitude. Just ignore it. Go with another couple and enjoy the good food and conversation.

Pros:-Hands down best old fashion I’ve ever had! It was a bit sweeter with the cherries and orange slice but def packed a punch.-The pasta and sauces were delicious.-Atmosphere reminded me of a quaint bed and breakfast. There were plenty of tables.-The servers were incredibly hard workers and most had wonderful attitudes! We had a woman in her mid 50: as our server with a spunky attitude which we loved! The bus boy was a hustler, very quick to remove empty plates and was very respectful!Cons:-They don’t take reservations, which I appreciate for the old school approach but we went to dinner at 6:30 on a Saturday night which, understandably, is prime dinner time on a weekend. They initially said 40-45 mins. We ended up waiting well over 1 hour. The downsize is you have to wait in the lobby area for the receptionist to call your name. They will NOT take down your phone number to call or give you a waiting puck. We tried to hang out by the bar but there was absolutely no room to stand without being in the way of the hustling servers.-Although the smoked chicken was fantastic, the non smoked chicken in the pasta entrees were unfortunately dry and tasteless-The entrees were small for $22 a piece. Our bill was about $150/4 people. This included one entree and one drink each. We all left still a bit hungry but all left with no leftovers (which is great bc the food was terrific minus the chicken issue).* Overall: We would go back but just not on a Saturday night at 630; maybe 5 ish for an earlier dinner or 8 ish for a later one to beat the rush.

Food excellent, service excellent! The group at another table was so loud we could not even hear ourselves. They paid there bill as we sat down , but sat there and drank and just got more obnoxious by the minute. The other table next to us was just as annoyed as we were.
Love love their food. Best Italian in crown
