Lucca

Our family had a fantastic meal. The staff could not have been more accommodating and pleasant, even though they were unexpectedly short-handed. If you love Italian food, this is your place; although expect your meal choices to be taken up a notch or two. Some really nice surprises on the menu mixed with more traditional expectations. Clearly, the chefs are having some creative fun, and the results are delicious! Reservations are highly recommended.

Good ambience and vibes, customer service was amazing. The appetizers were excellent, salad was very fresh.. Wood fired Pizza could have been better, nice but a little under done. The only thing I was surprised with was the employee healthcare tax added to the receipt, I’m all about benefits but I would rather see the cost reflected upfront in the price of food items than the surprise at the end. Overall a lovely experience, the exceptional customer service was definitely the biggest plus.

The food here was some of the very best Italian food I have ever eaten, and I've lived in Italy... It was tomato week, and we ordered the burrata salad, which came with heirloom tomatoes. Pistachios, shishito peppers, burrata, and the dressing- it was magical. We moved on to the caeser salad- the butter lettuce was soft and sweet, simply excellent. The bolognese was perfectly al dente, but the pizza- wow! Thinly rolled, puffy, crunchy, and delectable! I will be back here again!

One of our favorites. You know it's a neighborhood institution when there is always parking in the 8-car lot, yet the restaurant is always buzzing - most people walk. There are always couples at the bar, multi-gen families, ladies tables, prom gaggles, you name it. No matter who shows up or how they arrive, they make them welcome. We drive cross-town to get there. Pizzas are WONDERFUL - change with the season. We love the ones with pear or cherries!! Our gang is half vegetarian, half omnivore, occasional vegan, gluten-free - everyone goes home happy. Always start with roasted veg of some kind. Whatever they do with cheese is heavenly. Duck and lamb to die for. Elegant fish. Their desserts are perfect, and even small, plenty to share.
