In Short
This downtown trattoria attracts a steady buzz of locals with its rustic, warm atmosphere and upscale cuisine. Large windows dressed in silky bronze and gold curtains frame the open dining room, where Tuscan style wooden tables and cushy booths fill with business clientele at lunch and well dressed locals when the dinner hour strikes. The elegant cisine matches the setting with dishes of veal osso bucco sided with saffron risotto and hearty pastas such as a papparadelle punched up with braised pork. Stunning desserts of warm chocolate polenta cake and housemade tiramisou round out the Italian-influenced menu and end meals in sublime style.

I recommend the happy hour here. It isn't as busy and noisy as other places and the food is top notch! Try the pizza!

ENOUGH about the Owner!! Being an LO resident, I frequent Tucci often,. I have sat next to the owner, and have found him very gracious and generous. Recently I had a friend up from Newport Beach Ca., and the three of us shared a delightful evening and great conversation together at the bar.. To our surprise, he picked up the tab, which included two orders of the best scallops in town! Maybe it was because I wasn't wearing an REI fleece vest and Birkenstocks... Ladies, try and look like ladies!

We love Italian food and can say that this is a fantastic restaurant. I had the Lasagna last time and have to say it was the best I've had in a long time.
