    Great food and experience. Noise level made it easy to have a conversation. Our server Clara was terrific. A perfect choice for Father's Day!

    Simply one of the best neighborhood Italian joints I can remember eating in... service is phenomenal and attentive, but not overbearing. Red sauce is as good as anything west of Philly/NJ/NY I've had in my career. Ridiculously cheap for what you get ... will return.

    With its comfortable and casually elegant atmosphere, Lucca seemed a good choice for a recent business lunch. Unfortunately the chicken piccata was a major disappointment. Chicken was overcooked, artichokes were tough, and the massive quantity of capers made for sauce that was more vinegar in taste than lemony. I've had many good meals there, so hopefully this was a fluke, but I'd say let the buyer beware of this particular dish.

    Over the years, we have enjoyed this restaurant. Our dinner this evening was over seasoned, meatballs were lukewarm, and servers were overwhelmed by several large groups. We will eventually give them another chance and hope this experience isn’t the new normal for this restaurant.

    My martini came warm; never had to ask for a martini to be shaken. The service, while attentive, was amateur—no implements with dessert or espresso. Food is normally great, but this time we found it a little bland—had to add salt. The patio is always great, and I’ll be back. I’m assuming some key employees were absent. I greatly appreciated the free appetizer.
