Always a 10/10 experience never disappoints. The food and service is top notch.

Our Valentine dinner at Lucca was absolutely exceptional! After enjoying perfect Manhattans by the bartender, Sean, at the gorgeous bar, we opted to have dinner in the piano lounge which was bustling and romantic accompanied by beautiful music throughout our evening. We had the amazing cacio e pepe, prepared tableside, and fantastic grilled octopus for starters. The rack of lamb was tender, perfectly medium rare, as ordered, and so delicious with red wine reduction, and, the wild dover sole in lemon sauce, filleted tableside, was superb! We finished the evening off with a to-die-for pear tart which was so so good! We enjoyed our chat with William Burris, Managing Partner, who was on hand to greet all of his customers and made us feel special. This was my third visit to Lucca and each time has been an incredible experience. We feel so fortunate to have such an amazing dining experience so close to home.

My favorite place to go for amazing food, awesome service, and delicious drinks! Shelly made it happen for me to enjoy my number one meal, the asparagus sandwich, with crisp bacon, Fig jam and brie cheese!!

Whenever we’ve dined here, my fiancée and I ALWAYS have food to bring home, she has TWO delicious cocktails while I enjoy multiple Shirley temples, and the service we receive is consistently exemplary. Marcello’s is a restaurant that doesn’t make you take out a loan to enjoy finer tasting food. We always get 2 appetizers w/ an entree + 2 cocktails and desert…. We also never finish our plates and have not had a bill exceed $90. Marcello’s is forever a favorite of mine.

We haven't gone out on Valentine's Day​ in many years. We had a 5:30 pm reservation and when we pulled up, the parking lot was pretty crowded. We got sat promptly and our server came over right away. Even though it was crowded, we didn't feel neglected or rushed. We started with Caesar salad which was delicious. I ordered stuffed shrimp and hubby got the mix grill. Both were tasty and made well. We skipped dessert as I had made chocolate dipped strawberries. So we had a lovely meal there.
