Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Lucca Ristorante offers "wonderful authentic Italian food" with "excellent sauce and pasta." The cozy ambiance and friendly service enhance dining experiences. While some dishes are "delicious," consistency varies. Highlights include seafood risotto, shrimp Alfredo, and chicken parmigiana. Reservations are recommended for a warm atmosphere, and the "delicious" food makes return visits likely.

    We had a wonderful dinner last evening at Lucca. Our server, Amber, was terrific and she made great suggestions that were very helpful. My wife had a huge caprice, chicken pasta that was delicious and my salmon was perfectly cooked. The highlight of the evening was a berry tiramisu. We will definitely come back

    Here from western NY and booked this restaurant in advance. We were seated in the bar area at a cocktail table for dinner-main aisle with constant traffic and people waiting for take out orders. Expressed our disappointment and were casually told there’s no place to move us. It appeared expected we would request to be relocated- as in, this is how Lucca seats regularly. While the food was indeed very good, we ordered appetizers and salads to suit the table size. This experience was less than we had hoped - a sad disappointment. When a dinner reservation is made, a dining sized table is expected.

    It was a fantastic night out. The food was terrific, and the atmosphere was great for our friend who is hard of hearing and relies on a hearing aid. The service was good enough, though the server was a little snarky; he was busy, and we weren't too demanding.

    Me and my friends came here for a nice dinner on Easter. We started with salads which were great, and the bread was fresh. The drinks and dessert were good, but the entree was just okay. I had ordered the seafood rigatoni and it was okay. The sauce was not what I was expecting, and I would probably recommend a tomato sauce for next time. While the portion was a decent size, I was expecting better for the price. Overall the ambiance was nice, but the service was a little slow; our waitress was extremely nice nonetheless. I am not sure I would visit again, just because I was expecting to have my socks knocked off for the price I paid.

    The service and food were both mediocre. Waitstaff was seemed disinterested in our service and the food was bland without seasoning. We would not return.

    Lovely restaurant. Great ambience. Our server was excellent, Aliyah L. We recommend seafood risotto, shrimp alfredo with a light alfredo sauce, abs baked rigatoni with sausage. The chicken piccata could have been juicier, and 1 was dry. They did sub tagliatelle noodles for linguini for me. Thanks. Both needed lots more sauce.
