“What a beautiful evening eating dinner on the patio. Our server DeAnna was incredible, attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. From the beet appetizer, the pesto pasta with shrimp, to the lava cake dessert, chefs kiss! Can't wait to go back.”
“Shrimp appetizer was phenomenal, never had grilled calamari until this place and it was good, lobster ravioli was awesome!”
“Had our daughter's bridal shower here and couldn't have been more pleased!! As soon as we spoke w Sonia I knew this was going to be the location! Our waitstaff-Carrie & Erika were very attentive and accommodating to all our needs! This is a restaurant that has exceptional food, great atmosphere and impeccable service and definitely should added to your favorites! This restaurant is a gem!!”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ What an unforgettable first visit! From the moment we walked in, we were treated like VIPs. Bartender Jay gave us such a warm welcome and recommended the limoncello martini with the bubble presentation and it was the perfect way to start the evening! Every recommendation throughout the night was spot on. Our server, Luis, truly made the experience exceptional. His attentiveness, knowledge of the menu, and genuine hospitality made us feel so special. We trusted all of his recommendations, and every single dish exceeded our expectations. The oysters, fresh burrata, and grilled octopus were outstanding. For our entrées, we shared the lobster ravioli (my personal favorite!), the fettuccine prepared in the cheese wheel with beautifully seared fish, and the incredible tableside tomahawk steak carved by Chef Dirk. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. To top off the evening, Luis surprised me with a gorgeous birthday dessert platter complete with candles, followed by cappuccinos and chilled limoncello shots. It was such a thoughtful touch that made my birthday celebration even more memorable. The food was phenomenal, but what truly sets this restaurant apart is the incredible hospitality. Jay, Luis, and Chef Dirk created an experience we’ll never forget. We will absolutely be back, and we’ll definitely be requesting Jay and Luis again. Thank you for making my birthday so special!”
“Delicious, this place has gotten better with time. Every course was a whole treat.”
“We hosted a customer appreciation event a couple of weeks ago and everything was perfect! They were so easy to work with when I booked the room. We had about 12 guests and hired a company to come do a floral arranging class there. The room we were in was gorgeous! It was perfect for floral arranging. The service was exceptional! We will be hosting another event here in the future.”
“Beautiful restaurant, authentic delicious Italian food with 100% Italian hospitality!”
“The preparation of our meal was truly amazing. Fresh, high quality ingredients. Paired with attentive and friendly service, our overall experience was outstanding and we shall return.”
“We went here on Valentine’s weekend so it was a busy night. Regardless, we were well taken care of without any rush. Our waiter, Luis, did a great job with attending to us, as well as, answering any questions/giving recs. For apps we ordered a Shrimp Polenta. Main course was Salmone (blackened) and Ravioli All’Aragosta. We had a couple deserts, but the one that stuck out most to us was on special: pistachio cheesecake. Everything we ordered was prepared well and tasted great. Def enjoyed our night, will return.”
“Lucca was incredible. Low lighting, intimate, a solid date-night spot right away. Service was outstanding, and honestly our waiter deserves his own shoutout. He was unreal. Knew the menu top to bottom, answered every question without hesitation, and gave great recommendations. I started with the Spicy Mango Not-A-Rita mocktail. Wow. Every sip had mango, lime, and the Tajín rim tied it all together. Super fresh and a little spicy. For the main, I couldn’t look past the Carne, filetto alla Rossini. 8 oz Black Angus filet, ordered medium. When it came out, it was charred on the outside, super juicy and tender. The flavors were insane. Beef, mushrooms, sauce, all working together. The edges had this crispy texture, and every bite had a smoky note. Straight up heaven. The only downside, it leaned more rare than medium, so I didn’t finish it. Still, that first bite? Totally worth it.”
