Love for Lucca!

by BestAmyEver

Fell in love with Lucca from the first time I dined there— the best pork tenderloin I've ever had, no question. When I have friends come in town, I make sure to take them. Have gone enough that Chef Cathy knows me and will come out to the table to say hello and chat a bit. She and her husband are awesome. Love this place!

• Pros: Quality of food, service, and charming outdoor patio

Well Kept Secret

by Paulie

I have been told about this restaurant for some time and finally decided to go there. I can't stop. The food is served such that everyone can taste, therefore if you go there 4 times with 4 people you have tried everything. I like the jondori and the pork. The onion soup which sounds discusting is great. The wines are a great selection and priced very fair. The waiters are fantastic. The cheese, the deserts, are just the icing on the meals. Go there on Friday and Saturday when they have the vegetable antipasta bar.

Enjoy

• Pros: Priced Right
• Cons: Tease on the cheese samples

Declining quality and service

by sulross

Used to go regularly but no more. Food quality and freshness was exemplary in the beginning but declined noticeably in last two or three visits when dishes were lukewarm, and pasta was doughy on my last visit.

Also, Lucca mgmt has left discontinued items on the menu without changing it for months. It's a bit annoying to decide on an item and have your appetite whetted for it only to be told that it's no longer served there, thus having to go back to the menu to look for something else.

Finally, service is spotty. Waitstaff have generally been friendly and responsive, but had what should have been a minor issue rergarding seating where I briefly talked to the manager who handled it in an inept and insulting manner. That and drop in quality last few visits left me wanting not to return. There are too many other restaurants worth frequenting.
