Why is it impossible to find good Italian food? It absolutely baffles me. It's so simple but no one can get it right. I ordered the clam pasta a couple weeks ago with the white wine sauce, and it was as if I were sitting in the sand on the beach and picking out cooked clams directly from the sand. I actually gagged multiple times and I was so nauseated. I've never experienced anything like that in my life, especially not in my own home properly preparing and cooking clams. Completely inedible.Garlic bread was beyond subpar. My boyfriend got a $30 crab and shrimp alfredo. Guess how many shrimp he had in his pasta? FOUR. And ZERO crab meat. You're telling me he paid almost 10 bucks per shrimp? He had a good experience with the veal pappardelle, so I assumed this place was legit.Fast forward to tonight, I don't have clue why, I agreed with him to order again. We got a medium cheese pizza and I got a side of wedding soup. My wedding soup had ONE SINGLE TINY MEATBALL. SIX BUCKS FOR LEMON BROTH AND PEARL COUSCOUS. A complete scam. The pizza was awful. There was almost nearly no sauce and the crust was so dry, chewy, thick, and burnt. We couldn't taste anything but bad bread.I can't understand how establishments like this remain open. I want a full refund, but unfortunately cannot get one. You are stealing people's hard-earned money for absolute garbage. I mean, how do you send out a burnt pizza, charge 30 bucks for 4 shrimp and some heavy cream with zero crab, not wash clams, and sell wedding soup for 6 bucks with one tiny little meatball during the worst times this country has been through in many decades? Disgusting.

Disgusting. Cook dropped food on the floor. Pick it up and put it in the grinder. Horrible! We eat out a lot. The employees are also rude. Disgusting!!!

We were in the area doing an aviation photo-shoot and came across this place during a break in flight traffic. VERY pleasantly surprised! The staff were polite and cordial, the restaurant itself was exceptionally clean, and when not preparing food we saw staff going around keeping things clean, touching things up, et al. We felt the food was quite reasonably priced, good portion sizes, and tasty. We have already made a note of the location and will be back here for more meals when we're in the area. Nicely done!

I am extremely satisfied with all the help Mrs. Sandra Billy, She have a good understanding of all the processes and are always receptive to my needs. The platform was very helpful.

Decided to give Cantina Mamma Lucia’s a second chance, after being disappointed with a delivery order. Opted to dine-in, to ensure no delivery mishaps occurred.The restaurant is a fast casual setup; order at the counter and your food is brought to you. No frills. The menu looked good, but I stuck with the basics. I tried a slice of cheese pizza and a chicken parm meal; hard to mess those up. The pizza was good - one of the better slices I’ve had in the Hanover/Jessup area. The chicken parm was thin and tough. The sauce was very salty. Unfortunately, reminded me of cafeteria food. Nothing memorable about the meal or experience.Probably will just stick with pizza in the future.

Pretty good food. Fast serving, so you don't have to pay the extra dinning fee than a typical dine in I restaurant.

Very big portion sizes for the price. My husband and I both enjoyed our meals, he had one with the vodka sauce, and I had the eggplant Parmesan. Mine was quite salty, but was probably just an off day. Will definitely be back again and again. It’s worth it

I love this place. It is self serve Soni don't go there for dinner. The zucchini and penne dish is one of my very favorite restaurant meals.

We ordered takeout and someone else picked it up so I couldn't tell you about the staff or cleanliness but the food was horrible. I had the chicken Chesapeake it was extremely bland no seasoning at all no seafood seasoning no herbs no garlic not even any plain ol salt, the chicken looked like it was boiled or something just pale and tasteless, and the crab smelled fishy and tasted like it was canned and had possibly gone bad even the Alfredo sauce wasn't right. I couldn't eat it past a couple of bites with how bad the crab was I didn't wanna risk finishing it. I think a microwave dinner would have been better than that. My girlfriend's meal was marginally better but still under seasoned and both were small portions for the money.

Great flavor but overpriced for the amount of protein in your dish. Last time I went I got the Seafood Mediterranea and as previously mentioned, the taste was great but there was 2 scallops, maybe 4 shrimp, and a small amount of crabmeat. This has been my only gripe (though a consistent one).
