    What happened to what used to be a fantastic restaurant? We had not been there in little over a year. Atmosphere, menus, decor felt tired and dated. It wasn't very crowded for a Friday night. Bruschetta was good but Arancini tasteless. Everyone's pasta meals were subpar and not the quality we are used to from Lucca. No complaints regarding service. The waitress was attentive and polite. We have always enjoyed Lucca but this last experience fell short.

    My boyfriend and I came here for our anniversary and loved it. Amber took great care of us! They have a varied wine selection at different price points. The caprese pasta was delicious and my boyfriend liked his chicken Alfredo too. We sat outside on their patio and it was comfortable despite a windy day.

    It was dirty. The window we were seated next to was filthy, and the floor was slippery and greasy. The floor under the table was littered. The fish was inedible and salty, and the Caesar salad was subpar. When I asked for a glass of wine to be swapped for something else, the waiter would not take the first glass off the bill, which most decent restaurants would do. Given the poor food quality, it was overpriced.

    Awful service. We arrived just after 4:00 on Sunday. Despite a largely empty dining room, e were seated at a table with very ti hh t seating. The waiter told us "no substitutions" when we didn't ask for any. When our oil crust leaked, I tried to ask him for a new one one, but he interrupted me with his "no substitutions refrain. It took over 45 minutes to get our entrees. Food was just ok (note oo the chef: chicken filets in chicken piccata are usually rounded somewhat thin. Waited a long time to get our check, despite many waiters and a light crowd. Dine elsewhere. Lucca does not wan your business!

    We all had pasta dishes. And all felt it was good, but nothing spectacular. Portions aren't very large. No bread or grated Parmesan cheese given or offered. I had expected something more noteworthy for the price.

    Service overshadowed the food in a very bad way. Worst service I've experienced in my life. Waitress spilled water while pouring. She passed our table 5 times before I had to remind her about the water on the table. We ordered drinks and again, I had to remind her about the drinks we ordered. I ordered meatballs for an appetizer, a half of spinach salad and for the main course, seafood risetto. Waitress brought everything out at the same time and it was no longer hot.

    Service was terrible. It was not crowded but server wasn’t very attentive. Food was good but not amazing. I thought the prices were really good.
