Alyssa was such a good waitress! Food was fantastic and desserts were amazing!

We had a lovely time on the patio. The food was delicious.

As always, the food was delicious. The house made pastas were perfectly cooked. Meatballs were tender and flavorful. I enjoyed the beef short rib risotto with a glass of the house red. Wonderful, lively atmosphere.

Reservation was made in May for patio seating celebrating 2 special birthdays in a party of 5. 48 hours before the reservation we were called and told we were being moved inside for a special event on the patio. By the way, the patio never was full for the special event. There were several empty tables. We were offered a bottle of presecco for being moved. We had to ask for it 3 times. Empty dishes were stacked on our table and not taken away for a long time. Service was extremely extremely slow. The restaurant was not busy. It was a Thursday And the table we were given was in a horrible location next to a loud table. No question at all about the soecial events we were celebrating. We are pretty low key people. Not hard to please and rarely complain. But these birthdays ended up not being a nice celebration.

Great food, lots of choices, outstanding service..

We had a wonderful dinner at Luccas. We shared a Caesar salad with a nice side of anchovies. My husband had the filet with creamed spinach and pasta. He enjoyed it. I had the tagliatelle with bolognese. The portion was perfect. The pasta was excellent and the sauce was well done and balanced. The decor is a little dated, but the service was very attentive and personal. A good place for casual night out. We were from out of town; but if local, it would be a good spot if you are looking for your “usual” place to go. A little “home away from home” kind of place.

Great meal and excellent service.

My meal did not have crab in it. My wife's chicken was tough. Not a very good experience.

We read great reviews of this place, so were terribly embarrassed and disappointed at having chosen it as the place to meet with cousins from out of town that we had not seen in years. Meals were tepid temperature and mediocre and did not taste freshly made; told there was no bread served at lunch (really for an Italian restaurant??); no milk or cream available for cappuccinos or coffee we ordered, which were also not hot; tiramisu was dry and probably old; women toilets: 1-out of order and the other could not flush. General service very slow in spite of only four tables in whole restaurant with customers. Really had looked forward to a nice Italian meal and extremely disappointed all around. Only thing that was nice was that the porch was lovely and we could catch up with each other, but meal was definitely not what it was expected to be.

Our waiter was great. Food also great. I did not like dipping oil. And I like when a salad comes with your dinner.
