    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.

    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.

    We came here for a dinner for my daughter‘s graduation. It was very very good. I am particular about my pasta or gnocchi and both were cooked to perfection. The atmosphere was nice. They have a wonderful outdoor seating. We all had something different and every plate I tasted from was superb. Definitely recommend if you’re a Italian food snob.

    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.
