We had a wonderful dinner last night at Lucca! I had the salmon and it was amazing and my husband had the clams and loved it. Our server was the best, so friendly and knowledgeable about the menu and the drinks. Had the Huntington (rye with blackberry puree....YUM!). Looking forward to our next trip!

Not usually one to write reviews of negative experiences, and it was valentines day so i understand the busyness, but the service was very bad. Waited 20 min for our reserved table, which was in the middle of a walkway next to the door. 20 minutes till we got water and another twenty before we ordered drinks. Food was very good as were the drinks. But later the waitress brought us the wrong check, waited 20 min for her to come back, then she took the wrong check walking around for twenty minutes before coming back and dropping that same check on our table, which was someones paid bill with a gift card that still had a balance. Felt like i was living in the twilight zone. Worst part was we never asked for the check, we asked for a dessert menu…

The food and the place was very good! But the service was on the slow side. Yes I know it was Valentines day but we noticed our waitress went to other tables after us and they got their food/drinks before us. It took 40 minutes to get our drinks and 50 to get our oysters as an appetizer. Once we put in our food it went smoothly. It wasn’t the ideal night.

Disappointed. This restaurant has high rating but the food was just mediocre. Meatballs were dry and dense with no flavor, duck confit was stale. Short rib gnocchi were fine. Service was good. The atmosphere is good for casual young crowd.
