Neighbourhood gem

Good for special occasions

Having been in business for just over 6 years, Lucca Bar & Grill has found what Benicia was looking for: An establishment with a friendly atmosphere, great food and drinks, and lasting friendships. We are proud of the fact that our clientele includes locals of all walks of life as well as visitors to Benicia. Lucca is owned and operated by Jan Lucca, a third generation Benician and his wife Carol.

Here at Lucca we offer Gastro-Pub Style cuisine. We offer a full service bar, with an extensive cocktail menu using seasonal fresh fruits and herbs. We offer six beers on draft that we like to rotate from time to time to keep things exciting. In addition, we offer 43 beers by the bottle, from domestic to craft. 7 of these are 22 oz craft beers. For the wine lovers, we offer 38 wines in an array of varietals. Of the 38, 33 come by the glass. A majority of our wines are from right here in California.

We spent $62 at Lucca's today, but it wasn't enough. Sorry to have to share the amount but it is relevant to the review. We ate a meal each (2), and had 4 drinks. We were asked to vacate our seats by a rude bartender so "other" people could eat. We had finished our drinks 5 minutes prior. We often go to Lucca's and eat in the bar to watch sports. There was no one behind our chairs, no one waiting behind us. The gentleman next to us had not ordered any food the entire time we were there and had only ordered one beer which he was drinking very slowly. Which is his right. Other customers had also not ordered food next to us. The one mistake we made was being honest and closing out our bil,l and let the staff know we were watching the last 8 minutes of the game, and were not ordering another drink. I don't know how much they charge by the minute to sit in the seats at the bar. After they asked us to vacate the seats when we shared we wanted to watch the end of the game, I let the bartender know that I did not feel welcome at Lucca's and did not feel they wanted our future business. She really hurt our feelings as we give them frequent business. They should let customers know what the drink and food minimum is per minute so that they don't have to ask people to leave. That is just rude to ask customers who just spent $62 to vacate their seats after 5 minutes of not ordering more.

This is a nice restaurant but the food was average. Dinning on the sidewalk was ok but better than inside.

This is typically our favorite spot. But something has changed with the food. It's not horrible but definitely not as good as it used to be. Plus they raised the prices. Not a good combo.

We liked the outside seating. Decent beer selection and the bacon wrapped meatloaf was outstanding. Got to enjoy Idlewild West's music later in the beer garden. We live an hour away, but would return here. Downtown Benicia and the waterfront is very nice.

The restaurant was boisterously noisy and the bar was excessively loud. The one bartender had to handle a full bar of people, the restaurant, and our table in the bar. So service was quite slow, not his fault. Drinks and food were good and Benicia was a quaint town.

To be fair, we only had the brunch menu options and didn't have many choices. There was also a really big loud group. We couldn't hear eac other. The wait staff were friendly and competent.
