“It had been a few years since we’d been to Lucca and I can’t for the life of me understand why. We had an absolutely fantastic experience there last Friday and are already planning our return.

We’d decided to do a fancy night on the town with friends (the kind where you dress up for no good reason) and liked the look of Lucca’s prix fixe menu. We arrived at 8pm sharp but our table wasn’t quite ready so the wonderful hostess got us drinks and made us comfortable in the seats near the door. She checked on us several times and we’d honestly have been fine waiting there all night. But they soon seated us and we had an amazing dinner. Four courses, including dessert, for $57 per person. The NY strip alone might cost that at another restaurant. All dishes were delicious and we were impressed at just how wide the selection was.

Once again, the service took dinner to another level and we loved the ambience. Plus, you step out into the East Village and have a million options for the rest of the night.

Exceptional job, Steve Logsdon and crew; it’s no wonder you’re still making national lists after so many years in business. We will absolutely return soon. Highly recommended.“

“We got our food delivered to our hotel. The pasta was out of this world! Best focaccia bread in the universe! Thank you for your friendly fast delivery humans. They are lovely!“

“Fast, polite and kind service with ordering and additional breadsticks. Speaking of the breadsticks, they are delicious as well as their entrees. The sampler platter is perfect to satisfy hunger both initially and portions saved for later.“

“We made the bad decision to go to Olive Garden late on Valentine’s Day and I can tell you I was pleasantly surprised by the service we got and the atmosphere. Instead of chaos, we had a server that was very into positivity and making sure we were well taken care of. I ordered the Chicken Marsala which cannot be oversold because it is so good. The food was hot and was as we expected. I had some wine which was delicious and overall it was a very good experience. We will be back!“

“My family loves Scornovacca’s. Been going there for years. Great food and great friendly service. One of the best pizzas in town!“

“This Olive Garden looked the same as the rest but what made it stand out was the staff. We were seated right away and our waitress very knowledgeable about the menu and food. We had the build your own pasta which makes possibilities endless. The creamy mushroom sauce on rigatoni with added Italian sausage was great. We will return again.“

“Best staff and amazing execution!!“

“5 star family classic eatery.“

“We wish you a merry Christmas miss you we enjoy being with are children in Arizona but miss all you and your kindness want to say merry Christmas blessings to you and your family“
