Wonderful, friendly, cosy atmosphere with an authentic Italian feel, really buzzy without being sloppy. Excellent food, promptly served, at reasonable prices for this part of London

Disagree with other reviews 17th October 2008

After i read all the other reviews I had a great expectation about Santa Lucia, I was looking for a place where have a dinner pretty often with a good value, unfortunately they haven't been met.
The start was really good we had a delicious scamorza on the grill with bacon and mushroom to share, then i ordered Gnocchi Santa Lucia and my partner Pasta allo Scoglio.
After more than 45 minutes we received them but my Gnocchi was with 4 Formaggi sauce instead Santa Lucia, I told them and very kindly after 10 min i had the right course.
My gnocchi was ok, nothing special but ok, my partner's pasta was really too raw.
We drank 3 glasses of Red wine and a bottle of sparkling water, no coffee, no desert. We paid 63£.
I'm pretty sure I've been not so lucky and they had a bad evening but....

PS
I tag it as expensive, not in the way of classy/posh restaurant but as far as we ate and how much we paid.

Absolutely loved this restaurant... the food was super, the prices were reasonable (for Chelsea), the service was friendly and attentive, and the portions were huge. Huge. I would go back every day if I could. Thinking about it now is making me fantasize about the amazing pasta and pizza we had last night; they were fantastic.

Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area.

I've never had a bad experience that would put me off from going back. This is great pizza, and the servers are usually very friendly. they also have a couple great desserts. I would particularly recommend the tiramisu.
Everything is incredible here

Santa Lucia is the brother (or sister :-) of Made in Italy, Marechiaro, Napule' etc....and it's just 2 minutes from where I live so I have been there quite a few times.

They do nice pizzas as well as nice Italian food. And as usual I have to add a special note on desserts: they are delicious!!!

The atmosphere is usually very nice anad lively, and in the summer they have tables outside which is quite nice.
