   This is a neighborhood restaurant that we love. The back room is quieter and more intimate than the main dining room. I'm unable to tell how they determine who sits where, but we had a back corner booth, and it was divine. We had at least 3-4 different servers with different "specialties" (water, wine, orders, entrees), and they were all great. Very knowledgeable and friendly. No pressure to order or to vacate the space (restaurant was not particularly full when we were there). One of us had the risotto, which was a lovely StPatrick's green color. The mushrooms on top were phenomenal. Gigantic portion -- needed a take-home box! One of us had the crab cannoli, which was also incredible. The beet & goat cheese salad was unique.. and delicious. For dessert, we shared the chocolate mousse with sea salt & nut brittle. It was so good that we wanted to lick the plate! We will be back!!

   Service and food were excellent. The fire roasted pizza was superb and enough for us to have snacks at home the next day. We liked the setting and the seating arrangement too. It is a fine example of a well planned restaurant experience.

   Cute local neighborhood spot but we were placed at a tiny table in the bar and it was so noisy could barely hear each other talk. The service was fine food was very delicious the pizzas are outstanding

   After picking up a friend from the airport, we stopped at Lucca for dinner. So glad we did! The food was outstanding; the service and atmosphere great! We shared gnocchi, arugula salad, and the Coppa & Caramelized Onion Pizza - they were superb!

   The food is always good here. In addition to the server, two other people checked in on our dining experience, so that's really nice. They care about their establishment, and about their customers, and it shows. We had the prawns, the caesar salad, and focaccia bread. All were delicious and beautifully presented. The wine, a recommended alternative, was spot on. Reservations made it simple to arrive and be seated without fuss. Go here. Find your favorite dish. You won't be disappointed.

    I don’t normally write reviews but my husband and I had such a great time. I remembered this place from about 16 years ago when my grandma took me when I was 12. I remembered enjoying the pizza a lot and figured my husband and I would enjoy that. We ended up getting the Spaghetti, Beef Cheek dish, Rosemary and Sage focaccia w/ olive oil, chocolate mousse, and lemon soufflé. We were embarrassed that we cleaned each plate, but it was worth it. I’m not even sure how to explain how good everything tasted, but every dish had something to it that made it incredible. Our server was super sweet, she checked in with us at appropriate times, was very polite and made thoughtful chit chat with my husband who’s very extroverted. We had a cute little table w/ a candle and small flowers, and it was comfortable. I recommend wholeheartedly.
