    Delicious!! Tight quarters with the tables but that’s every North end restaurant. Delicious food and drinks but they don’t serve desert. Need to go to their bakery next door but given it was Christmas Eve Eve, there were lines out of every bakery door!! Good service and not bad prices. They have valet ($30) but didn’t realize and my husband dropped us off and parked in the lot down the street. They won’t seat you until your full party is together. Overall would definitely recommend.

    I don't know how they do it! Great food and service every time. Actually, I do, the wait staff was excellent, and I saw at least three managers helping out keeping things spot on. They even tracked down the valet after so we could get to the game on time. The three of us loved every dish that came to the table. There are so many great spots in the North End but it's hard not to go to Lucca's every time...
