“ I was very impressed by Lucca. Food, service, and atmosphere were amazing. I can see why this place is so popular. Make sure you have reservations. Highly recommend ”
“ I would give 10 stars if I could! The ambiance and service was excellent. The food was amazing! Extensive wine list, specialty cocktails as well. All our dishes came out of the kitchen piping hot (very important to this lady). Already looking forward to our next visit. ”
“ The bread served with olive oil are incredibly delicious! The gnocchi with tomato sauce and Parmigiano reggiano are delicious The service is great and the ambience very pleasing. ”
“ A Perfect Place to Celebrate ALL of Life’s Special Occasions... We have a rule in our house that each Birthday must be celebrated at a new spot. We hadn’t tried Lucca since the new owners took over, so I made our reservation for my Husband’s BIG birthday there. When we walked in, we were greeted and seated right away—at a sweet cozy table right by the beautiful piano. Anna was our server—she was amazing and attentive without being overbearing. She told us the specials right away and indicated that there were only two of the ribeyes left so let her know if we wanted them—we did! We started with the peppers in oil—a generous helping and the bread kept coming. They had a bit of a kick to them, but it wasn’t overwhelming. My husband tried the Cherry Bourbon Manhattan and was duly impressed with the combination of flavors. I think I literally exclaimed when our steaks arrived. Cooked perfectly and topped with Blue cheese and Bacon (I am always ALL in for that) served over a delicious smashed potato with just a touch of sweetness to set off the savory of the steak and toppers, pulled together with fresh asparagus. It was a delight for ALL of the senses. The dessert was just right and just enough to share. Overall the atmosphere was just what we were looking for and the food was out of this world. We were delighted with our visit! When I posted the pictures of the food on my socials, one of my friends said, “That’s what I’m having for my next birthday!” We might have to break our rule because I agree—I’m looking forward to going back to Lucca for our next special occasion (or even a regular Tuesday). ”
“ Great spot for a fancy dinner! We went with a big group and they made sure we had plenty of bread and oil to hold us over until our food came. The pork chops were 41 but totally worth it! Zero complaints from the large group we went with. A MUST TRY PLACE! ”
“ Great bread, salads & Entrees. Amazing steak! Impeccable service! Thank you, Anna! The indoor temp was a bit too cold , and the desserts were ok. We will be back! ”
“ We loved Mindy! She was lovely and wonderful all night. It was like being served by a family member. She was welcoming and explained the menu, gave recommendations, and made us feel comfortable to ask questions. She was a highlight, for sure! We can’t wait to go back. The food there was also fantastic. Like being transported to Italy in the middle of Canton, Ohio. We loved everything. We got the bread with olive oil, limoncello shrimp, strip steak, half portion of clam linguini, and the pesto gnocchi. Mindy even came by and had us try a bite of the mushroom Ragout (which we will be getting next time). We turned around and realized she literally gave us a bite of what was going to be her own dinner. Truly selfless and incredibly hospitable! The drinks were also amazing! The Sorrento 75 was a lemon take on a French 75 and Very good! Inside it’s lovely, there was live music on an acoustic guitar, and the vibes were quiet and enjoyable! ”
“ We "found" this restaurant back in 2016. It is a small, intimate place with amazing food and even better staff. Have never had a bad or even mediocre meal here. Their bar is another plus and everything is top notch. Always, always save room for the dessert! ”
