                                                We had a great time at Lucca North End for a festive holiday dinner with friends. The restaurant has a cozy yet lively atmosphere. They were accommodating in making everyone's order meet their dietary needs. They even made a nice mocktail for my friend who wasn't drinking. I had the Fettuccine, which was very tasty. Nice staff all around.

                                                food was excellent, service was fully adequate...but the noise level destroyed the dining experience. i i suggest you go elsewhere if you plan talking (vs. yelling) to your dinner companion. worse than most Friday night bars at midnight.

                                                We arrived a bit early for our reservation, and unfortunately there was a game at the Garden. The North End and the restaurant were both very crowded. No place to wait, so we walked around a bit. We were seated close to our reservation and our waitress was great. Informative, helpful and pleasant. We shared a nice salad of prosciutto, arugula, orange and peppers on a board. Excellent dish. The focaccia was served with a colorful, but not very flavorful pesto. The bread was quite salty. We ordered pasta with wild boar ragu - very well done -and beef tenderloin which again was overly salted. Good service, nice table, good food that would have been great with a lighter seasoning touch.

                                                The staff is exceptional! Very professional. The manager, Matt, looked after my wife and made sure she was comfortable at the bar while I worked to find parking nearby. Held our table as I was a little late for reservation. Overall...Lucca will be our "go to" for North End restaurants. Just an overall fabulous experience.

                                                Food was equisite! Server was very good & friendly. Ambiance was good but the noise level was too much.
