    I met a friend for dinner on a Thursday night and we had a great time catching up. The food is delicious, the service prompt, warm, and friendly, and the atmosphere cozy. Parking can be somewhat of a bear, but Lucca's is worth that relatively small inconvenience.

    Every dish was incredible! our server Zach was personable and offered excellent recommendations of dishes. They were very up front on the website and in person that meals are made from scratch and tend to take longer. Knowing that ensured that we left plenty of time before our next reservation to Phipps. Highly, highly recommend this restaurant.

    Three friends gathered after a long time to enjoy a meal and catch up over lunch. We were given the luxury of a long and leisurely meal, with bottles of wine, soup, entree, dessert and coffee. The server was knowledgeable and attentive-- his suggestions were spot on! Luckily it was fairly empty so it was intimate and quiet and we felt unhurried. The food was spectacular and we enjoyed everything we ordered. Grateful to the restaurant and staff for making our reunion such a treat!

    We had made reservations over a week ago but they seemed not ready for us when we arrived and seated us on the porch that had plastic sides and heat lamps but still cold in December! Service was very very slow. But once we got our food it was delicious! On way out back through the dining room I thought how that looked like a whole different warm welcome experience I missed out on.

    The tomato basil soup was quite good. I had the short rib risotto, which was outstanding - the short rib was very tasty, falling off the bone, and the risotto was perfectly al dente. My wife had the eggplant parmesan - she loved the breading on the eggplant. The marinara sauce was a little sweeter than she likes, but that’s a matter of taste. We finished with the tiramisu, which had a nice texture but needs a little more intensity in the flavors. We’ll be back to try more from the menu on our next trip.
