Canton

About the restaurant

In Italy, Lucca is a region known for beauty and old world charm. In Canton, Lucca bottles that same old world charm, small restaurant community and brings it to you. Using only fresh ingredients, quality service and a dedication to authenticity, Lucca serves �la dolce vita� or �the good life.� Similar to the Tuscan restaurants that inspire Lucca, locally sourced ingredients go into all of the dishes. Along with a full bar, sit down to try the hand made pasta, Prime steak, seafood overnighted from Hawaii or the local double boned pork chop. Be sure to ask your server about the dessert of the day which is always a gourmet treat.

We were in Cleveland to see the symphony and made last minute reservations at Valerio's in Little Italy which is super close to Severance Hall. We were seated promptly and Michael, our server, was a delight. He took excellent care of us, rattled off the specials, and made great recommendations. We ordered the swordfish and the lamb shank and both were amazing. The swordfish was perfectly grilled and delicious. The lamb shank was very tender, falling off the bone, with gravy that was to die for. Both were reasonably priced and less than what we expected to pay. We will definitely go back.

Ghost Pepper was recommended by a co-worker of mine. The service was exceptional and the food was outstanding. Macho Nachos were ordered as a starter and I had the chicken tacos. Good to the last crumb!
