    Enjoyed everything about my dinner. The food (fillet medallions) was awesome. I was pleasantly surprised at the generous quantity of each entree. My companion who is fairly critical loved her dinner (cod) and couldn’t finish hers. Happily took some home. We had the calamari as an appetizer and both of us loved it.

    Ate at Lucca’s on a very busy Valentine’s Day evening. Although the entire restaurant was bustling we still thoroughly enjoyed our meal. We started with a manhattan cocktail and a pomegranate margarita which were fine. After drinks we ordered the bruschetta appetizer and found it to be delicious. The finely chopped tomatoes made it light and tasty. For entrees we ordered the chicken calabrese which was surprisingly spicy but anticipated a spicier entree as it does have calabrese peppers. We also ordered a pizza that was 1/2 gringo loco and calabrese. A combination of two of their specialty pizzas. I enjoyed the calabrese pizza more. Overall our waitress was great, and even though it was busy, we were happy with our service. Definitely would patronize again in the future.
