Lucca's is a fine Italian restaurant and dining experience. With its contemporary aesthetic and modern menu, this Italian bistro has become a huge success. Lucca's has been named The Best Restaurant in Montana in both 2015 and 2016 by Business Insider magazine.

Our first dining experience at the Bistro was great! Our server, Zeb, was fantastic and very friendly. The food was spectacular! Yes, I'm using many flashy adjectives, but it was that good. We will definitely return.

It was the most outstanding experience in terms of customer service. The chef came to our table and delivered us a free pasta. He was incredibly kind. The food is great, but is pricey and we were surprised to see a $50 corkage fee. Regardless, the service was outstanding, and the experience was incredible and we will return.

The wine was great, staff was friendly, but some of our food was slow to come out, enviance was FABULOUS! We went here before some holiday festivities and everything about the vibes were pure magic!

You can’t come to Montana and not eat at Wild Caddis! Best prime rib I’ve ever had in all my life! Service is top notch. The front desk receptionist could be a bit more pleasant maybe we caught her on a bad day. Don’t let that keep you from the best food you’ll ever taste! A++++++++
