La Lucia 라루치아

People come here for the gnocchi: soft, chewy pillows of potato dough that hold a thick coat of sauce and eat nothing like noodle pasta. The steak set pairs a sirloin steak with vongole pasta, a shrimp and cheese salad and drinks. Plates come out one at a time rather than together, and some diners complain the gaps are far too long. Walk-ins may wait 20 to 30 minutes; turning up right at opening usually means a table straight away.
