We had a wonderful dinner at Lucca’s in the North End on Sunday evening. We had reservations but arrived early and they were able to accommodate us with a very minimal wait. The hostess and wait staff were super friendly and efficient. The wait staff was attentive and our waitress was absolutely excellent. My 14 year old twin daughters left nothing on the plate and said it was the best food they have ever had & are already planning to go back. Thank you for such a nice evening.

We chose Lucca to celebrate a special birthday and we were not disappointed! Everything was superb! The atmosphere, food, drinks and service were top notch. A variety of dishes was ordered: fish, chicken and pasta. All were delicious! Our server, Lainey, was the best. She was attentive and allowed us time to dine. I highly recommend Lucca. We will be going back soon!
