Lucca Back Bay

Great food late at night. We arrived at midnight and ate off the bar menu. Had a decent amount of choices but surprisingly no soup. Either way, the linguini with shrimp was excellent! I also love that they have different portions on the late menu since i dont like to go to bed on a stomach full of food. Friendly bartender that makes you feel right at home as soon as you arrive

One of the best meals I've ever had. I would go back weekly just to have the gnocchi, but everything was so delicious! We also had the scallops and the lobster linguine as entrees, but we were so busy talking about the appetizers that I forgot to take pictures. Just remembered to catch a shot of the semifreddo toward the end. Great service, even with a crowed room. Tables far enough apart for some privacy.

I can't say enough good things about this place. It is high-end, so it is pricier and the portions are smaller, but completly worth it. The scallops were cooked to perfection and melted in your mouth, the cocktails were well balanced, and the presentation was exquisite. One of my favorite parts of my meal was the Oysters. They put lemon flavored ice shavings on each one, no additional sauce necessary. Highly recommend people to try this place out for a special occasion.

All the people working there are great, from the receptionists to the manager. Service is excellent. The lower room is a bit noisy, but manageable. The portions are generous. The meal was ok, not excellent but certainly not bad. I found the pork tenderloin to he tough and the linguini to be over sauced. Appetizers were better. Maybe I'm just picky.

We were quite pleased! We had 2 starters, 2 entrees, wines, and split a dessert. Everything was well-prepared, well-presented, and delicious. Service was the exact right touch, with the lone exception of not checking in after we started our entrees. Tables are amply-sized, well-spaced and they manage the acoustics really well. For all we ate, the total bill was really reasonable.

Went here with my company for a party of 7. The atmosphere was nice and cozy. There is a bar area and a coat check at the front of the restaurant. When seated, everyone in my party ordered drinks. It took a little while for us to get our appetizer orders in. When they came, the burrata and oysters were great! We also got the mussels, which were okay. We each ordered some pasta for the entrees. The one I got was with duck and super delicious although very oily/buttery. I had a taste of my friend's bolognese and that was also fantastic. For dessert, I had something with pistachios and banana which was pretty good. My only complaint about this place is that our waiter was a bit curt and presumptuous throughout the night. When everyone ordered drinks, I asked for a glass of wine and he literally wouldn't take my order in case the table ordered a bottle. Also, he wouldn't bring out bread for the table until we had placed our order. All in all, great food experience but the place seems to have a very specific idea of what dinner needs to look like that it's rather inflexible.

Good food with excellent service. I ordered the filet. It had a good sear on the outside but almost too good, compromising the tenderness you'd expect from a nice filet. Overall the steak was good. The sauteed spinach was done really well and left me wishing for another plate. The portions are rather small but I still felt well fed I'm the end.
