    As always another wonderful evening at Lucca's. Our experience from being greeted by Tina to our wonderful server Nicole, the evening could not have been better. Our dinner started with the pesto sauce muscles which are always a hit. My granddaughter and I had the sea bass piccata, our daughter ordered the shrimp and scallops (but she requested more scallops and no shrimp) in the citrus sauce and my husband had their new gnocchi. Every dish was beautifully presented. Dessert was lime panicoccata, strawberry italian ricotta cheesecake and one chocolate espresso martini (granddaughter had this). Of course their salad and bread are always delicious as well. We each had cocktails and some wine with dinner. You can't ask for more if you want a truly delicious meal with the best hostess and servers around. Thank you Lucca's for making our granddaughter's last night in town one to remember!!
