We wanted to go to a really nice restaurant to celebrate our 22nd wedding anniversary. On a trip to the Farmer's Market, I spotted Lucca Taverna and decided to try it. We were not disappointed. Food was imaginative and expertly presented. The theme is small plates to share and the wait staff delivered each new plate exactly on time. We highly recommend this venue for any special occasion dinner, or just a fun night out.

I don’t know why Lucca doesn’t have 5 stars! This is definitely some of the best food and drinks I’ve had in the area. They recommend family style, which I love, but you can order your own meals as well. Cocktails are great and it’s really cute inside!

I want to love Lucca (and the remodeled atmosphere is lovely) but the food seems like a similar but lesser version of the fare at Castor that doesn’t scale well with the pricing

This is my favorite restaurant in Corvallis. Good for date night and their food is amazing. Kinda sad that they changed their tiramisu recipe I liked it the first time.

The food was excellent and so was the server. The amount of food on the plate was under-generous and looked like half an order. All four of us felt this way.

I was invited to try Luca by the manager, whom my niece and I met outside of Castor while walking to the art center. Castor was the first restaurant my husband and I visited during our recruitment trip with OSU deans and department heads so I had planned to take my niece there during her visit from California. The manager encouraged us to try Luca instead, and we decided to give it a chance.
While the food at Luca was good, the service left much to be desired. Our waitress was noticeably dry and inattentive. We watched her be warm and friendly with every other table. Despite being seated well before other parties, we were consistently overlooked and made to feel unwelcome. It was disappointing and disheartening, especially since we had been personally invited to dine there.
Great food cannot make up for poor treatment, and unfortunately, the lack of hospitality overshadowed the experience.
Overall 3/5 stars!

Food was meh except the steak (only reason for 3 stars), didn't expect it to be as good as it was at an Italian restaurant. Breads were decent although pricey, Gnocchi Bologna meh, spaghetti meh. Cute place for a meet with friends which is what we did. Definitely will not go back if service doesn't improve. Plus, there's much better authentic Italian locally than Lucca.

Every dish we tried was spectacular. The crispy potatoes and focaccia are perfection and the service was wonderful!
Super adorable spot for date night. The drinks were good, food was rather unremarkable. Dessert tiramisu was good.

Ordered kids butter noodles. Got 5 (!!) uncooked, truly awful bow ties. Ordered chicken kabobs. Got two pieces of charred chicken, two pieces of carrot, and three pieces of onion. Ordered cod with asparagus. Got a piece of cod and three pieces of limp asparagus (a $20 dish). What??

It's a nice place! I really liked our waitress and the salads and bread were delicious!! But the pasta felt a little too tough for me. I couldn't tell if it was because the pasta was undercooked or something else, but even though the texture was a little off, it was still very good!

Having been a huge fan of bellhop I was super sad to see them go, and highly suspicious of another Italian inspired menu fill their slot… but dinner here was amazing. Really delicious pasta, good selection of shareables, and fantastic service. Even the pricing was generous with 50% off wine bottles with a 2 pasta dinner. Loved it. Unfortunately they also had a perfect tiramisu, so they had to roll me out of the restaurant, but ce la vie I guess.
