Our welcoming and eclectic atmosphere is appropriate for almost any occasion - whether it be meeting a friend for a drink, celebrating an important event, or relaxing after work. Our menu is a mixture of familiar Pittsburgh foods (think pierogies, hamburgers, French fries) and French bistro classics (beef tartare, raclette, mussels), and seasonal classics that come and go throughout the year. We put care into our vegetarian dishes too, including making our own tempeh, falafel, and veggie patties from scratch. Menu items change frequently--usually every day--and reflect many long-standing relationships we have with farms and breweries in our region. In addition to reservations, we also have a thirty seat bar that is first come, first serve. We don’t know exactly how old the bar is, but it’s at least seventy years old (probably older) and very cozy. Our friendly bartenders are here to make something you like.

    Our hotel restaurant was booked for a private event so I quickly searched Open Table for availability nearby and Lucca popped up. I booked a table and took a nice 7-10 minute walk over. It’s in an older looking brick building and has a lively little front porch patio with seating and more inside. There was a super cute little bar area and my daughter and I were seated in a very quaint nook for two. I thought this was place super cute. It was easy for us to chat and no one seated close by. The staff was great and the food and wine was too. We had gnocchi and meatballs and shrimp linguine. Unfortunately, we ate too much so we did not have dessert. This place was popular for locals and was hosting a few small parties. I really enjoyed it and would return on another visit to Pitt.
