Lucca

Lacking. Finally given up on this restaurant after eating there regularly since its opening. There’s a lot to like about this place, great space (although very loud at times), outdoor seating in summer, we’ve enjoyed some nice food, their fish specials are usually good. But the service and management is frequently unhelpful and offhand. On entering the restaurant the host's desk is regularly unattended and one can be left waiting and unacknowledged for some time. All the wait staff seem constantly harried and on the run. There have been several instances when flatware hasn't been replaced after appetizers have been cleared from the table; entrees are hastily delivered and utensils arriving sometime later after a request, the entrees sitting, cooling in front of you as you wait for them to arrive. I’ve experienced difficulty in getting any useful information on the wines on their list, the most recent example in 12/10, when I asked what a particular Italian wine was like I was told it was was really yummy! This statement was followed by a great pause while the server tried to think of how else to describe it, couldn’t, so just said: Yeah, it’s really yummy, you’ll really like it.…

Upscale food in a relaxing atmosphere. This is a restaurant not to be missed. The seasonal variety of the menu is a standout. The chef knows what he/she is doing with the combination of flavors and textures. The lamb was outstanding.

The only minor issue was the appetizer- we had a charcuterie dish which was unremarkable and boring. Nothing a very good martini couldn't make up for!…

Great place for pizza-plus. I was in town for a sports event and had been told about Lucca and the amazing food. I was lucky to get a table. The atmosphere is great and the place just has a happy, friendly feel to it. My dinner was wonderful, I had the chicken. I look forward to coming back and trying another dish from the menu. I will be spreading the word to my friends.…
