This restaurant was the best of our trip— the food, service and atmosphere was all amazing. The interior is beautiful. The food is fresh and flavorful and well thought out. Truly quality in every bite you’re getting. Our last trip was Italy, and you truly feel like you’re getting an authentic experience. I got the pesto gnocchi that was pillowy soft and perfectly flavorful; my husband got the mushroom prosciutto pizza that he raved about the freshness and brightness of the tomato sauce and the quality of crust. For desert we got an amazingly fresh tiramisu and cannoli. Our server, Yeda, was incredibly nice and helpful throughout our meal which really pulled everything together for an all around 5/5 experience. You immediately feel a difference in the vibe of the restaurant as it does not feel like the touristy restaurants that line the area. Highly recommend for your trip! Edit: to add, they were accommodating of allergies and dietary restrictions (vegetarian)!
Nice place we had multiple pizzas at the table looked delicious lacked in a solid crust bottom to thin to win. Spicy Vodka lacked flavor had some spice but flavor less. The bread and the pesto butter was fantastic. Seabass was eh’.
Amazing food! Great flavours and fresh products. Irene was our server and she did a great job checking if everything was to our liking. She made sure we had a great experience. Would for sure come back to this place!
This restaurant was recommended by the Marriott concierge, so we came in with high expectations. The setting itself was nice—open seating in a covered outdoor space with a pleasant breeze. We started with mozzarella sticks, which were decent but nothing memorable. Unfortunately, the entrées were a big letdown. We ordered the chicken Parmesan and spicy vodka penne, and both dishes came out cold. The penne wasn’t spicy at all and barely had any sauce. We sent the meals back, but when they returned about 10 minutes later, they were still cold and just as inconsistent as before. Overall, the experience was disappointing, and I wouldn’t recommend this restaurant.
Complimenti to chef Daniele and the staff at Lucca!! Everything was delicious!! True authentic Italian cuisine!! Coming from an Italian background, I can say everything was amazing!! And our server Gaudys was courteous and very friendly!! Bravo !!
