Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Lucca Ristorante offers "wonderful authentic Italian food" with "excellent sauce and pasta." The cozy ambiance and friendly service enhance dining experiences. While some dishes are "delicious," consistency varies. Highlights include seafood risotto, shrimp Alfredo, and chicken parmigiana. Reservations are recommended for a warm atmosphere, and the "delicious" food makes return visits likely.

    Here from western NY and booked this restaurant a couple of weeks in advance. We were seated in the bar area at a cocktail table for dinner-main aisle with constant traffic and people waiting for take out orders. Expressed our disappointment and were casually told there’s no place to move us. While the food was delicious, this experience was less than we had hoped.

    Me and my friends came here for a nice dinner on Easter. We started with salads which were great, and the bread was fresh. The drinks and dessert were good, but the entree was just okay. I had ordered the seafood rigatoni and it was okay. The sauce was not what I was expecting, and I would probably recommend a tomato sauce for next time. While the portion was a decent size, I was expecting better for the price. Overall the ambiance was nice, but the service was a little slow; our waitress was extremely nice nonetheless. I am not sure I would visit again, just because I was expecting to have my socks knocked off for the price I paid.

    The service and food were both mediocre. Waitstaff was seemed disinterested in our service and the food was bland without seasoning. We would not return.

    Lovely restaurant. Great ambience. Our server was excellent, Aliyah L. We recommend seafood risotto, shrimp alfredo with a light alfredo sauce, abs baked rigatoni with sausage. The chicken piccata could have been juicier, and 1 was dry. They did sub tagliatelle noodles for linguini for me. Thanks. Both needed lots more sauce.

    My wife and I enjoy Italian food and Lucca has excellent sauce and pasta. We had not been there is quite some time but will be back soon- the prices were reasonable and we really liked being able to order half a salad without paying a premium ( the prices were reasonable was exactly half the price of full portion). Looking forward to trying other items on the menu/ they all looked good!

    They sat us outside under the covered porch. It was rather cold and the service was slow initially. The food was very good, clearly home made, but lacked a little flavor.
