I would say this is probably one of the best Italian restaurants in the DMV. I like that they make their pasta sauce from scratch and not use canned tomato sauces. They use just the right amount of garlic. Their sauce is very flavorful and the garlic is not overpowering. The garlic bread that comes with their pasta is absolutely delicious! I normally will order an extra garlic bread. The portions are still very good despite the inflation. My favorite is their Mostaccioli (penne) a la Matricianna ( with Italian bacon). I can't get enough of this dish. Their seafood linguine is always good and their calamari appetizer is cooked perfectly and served with marinara sauce for dipping. I think they are second generation of the family who run it now, a lot of the old people are retired. I'm so glad they have maintained the same taste and quality over the years!

Ordered catering for a long flight from Baltimore to Las Vegas from here on ubereats. The pizza was very large and bold great flavors! The server over the phone was super helpful and the order was delivered right on time! Had some happy passengers. I didn't go into the Resturant but it was a quick easy find via Yelp when i wasn't familiar with the area!

Pizza is always an option for us and we were craving it last night. We decided to try Cantina Mamma Lucia. We recently moved to Hanover so we are still getting familiar with the restaurants in this area. The New York style pizza truly reminded us of something you'd get in NY. It was delicious! We ordered through uber eats and had no issues with placing the order nor the delivery. The food arrived in good presentation and was still warm. We were pleased to use a coupon offer through uber eats. We will try dining in soon and expect quality service and a nice ambiance judging from other reviews we have seen.

This is a review for their catering service. Each year we order a few dishes from here and have yet to be disappointed. The service is top notch and the prices are fair for the quality. We've ordered the short rib ravioli this most recent time and it was a really big hit. The portions are really generous and they also provide plastic utensils and garlic bread. I haven't eaten inside but the interior is spacious and clean. I'll have to drop by to try their pizza at some point!

First, the food was delicious. I was blown away by the calamari in how soft it was. AND the sauce for it was made by the restaurant and didn't feel like a single drop of pre-made tomato sauce you would get at grocery stores. It had a hint of garlic and pieces of tomatos and i really appreciated the hint of the authenticity outside of normal marinara sauce you would get at other restaurants. Also the pasta was great with the hint mushrooms and the cheesy flavor was a nice touch. Main entree was fabulous but the appetizer was what made want to come back.

I had a nice lunch here. I enjoyed their fresh baked gnocchi served piping hot in a baking dish. The dumplings are light, and delicious, with a tasty sauce and lots of cheese. You order and pick it up at the counter. This is a nice place to go for casual Italian food,

CML has been around for many, many, years and used to be our 'go-to' place. Don't remember why we stopped visiting but we have rekindled our taste buds with this Italian treasure in Hanover, MD. Everything at CML is homemade and the dishes are plentiful, hot, and delicious. The chicken Brunello was fabulous. The Catfish Francese is to die for; tender, flakey, and lightly acidic ... OMGOODNESS. we've had mixed experiences with the pizza but the flavors have kept us trying more and more options. CML is a jewel in Hanover that I hope never closes.

Many places come and go, Cantina Mama Lucia is not one of them. I have eaten here for over 15 years. Their pizza is amazing and so are their pastas. The chicken cacciatore is usually my go to. I came with my kids and their dad on a Thursday night. My son had the shrimp parmigiana special, I had the shrimp Alfredo, their dad had the pepperoni and sausage calzone and my daughter had the kids ziti with meatballs. Our meals came with garlic bread. The portions are insane, you get what you pay for here and then some. We have enough for dinner again tonight. Everything tasted fantastic! I personally like a little more spice/flavor in my Alfredo but it was still very good and the shrimp was cooked well. There is a little room to the right of the register next to the main dining room and it's perfect for my loud kids so we don't disturb the other diners. It is also incredibly clean. The service has always been consistently good and I have never had a bad experience here. I absolutely recommend this place.

Great service and a great family friendly environment. Great location as it has the end unit of a strip mall and takes up a couple of spaces. I like that it's cafeteria style (without actually getting your food initially). We ordered our pizza and it was ready within 15-20 mins. We got the NY style but they also offer a Sicilian style along with other classic Italian dishes. A little on the higher side on the price but certainly worth it with the food and service. Would recommend!

Best pizza I've had as far as I can remember. Perfect composition of sauce and dough. Great crunch all throughout. Reasonable wait times. Also can order through grubhub and pick up. Lovely place. Divided into sections with different color palettes. Plenty of seating. Can host your next big gathering. Can't wait to go back.
