“Among several great restaurants in the town of Shallotte, Lucca Italian Chophouse is one of the BEST inland restaurants. Appetizer seared scallops was so tasty, a very yummy house-made blue-cheese wedge salad with the main course of great steaks cooked exactly to the temperature desired with added lobster tails and sides is simply amazing. So much so, one will want to come back again. Also, high kudos to the wonderful and friendly attentive hostesses and waitstaff. It does come with a big price tag, but it is well worth it as the delicious portions are large.“
“We hear they have good eats, but when sauces, pasta, cheeses , and bread come together like this it is a symphony of flavor, your mouth will water at the thought of eating here , they start you out with homemade bread , and it just goes up hill with entrees, the staff is very attentive, a good time to be had by “
“I've been eating at this restaurant for several years when I'm visiting the beach, and find the food to be consistently delicious, and the service to be mostly really good. My favorite dishes are the Chicken Casa Bella, the burgers, the salads, and triggerfish (if it's available - offered as a special for the evening. I also really like the brownie a la mode dessert.This is a popular place to eat, so I find that at the height of the vacation season, it's best to get there early and avoid a wait. I also find that the service is best before they get super-busy. The staff works hard, but can get overloaded when big groups come in.“
“Tried for the first time and was impressed with the food and great service. Waitress was super attentive and everything came out exactly as ordered. Even had enough for to go boxes. Would highly recommend if you are town and looking for a great meal just off the beach.“
“Food was good and portions were large. Choices were a few items on the menu. The server was very attentive to us.The place and condition of the inside seemed worn and needing updating. Rustic Italian is how I would describe the outside and inside.Parking: The parking lot and the cement entry to the restaurant needs repairs.“
“What a great meal! First time there; had heard their pork chop was amazing, so I tried it. UNBELIEVABLE! Best pork chop I've ever had. Tender like a filet mignon, juicy, flavorful. All of the sides and even the salad and freshly baked bread were perfect. Everything was very fresh. Great service too! I will be back!“
