Editorial Review for Lucca – by Citysearch Editors
The Scene
Dimly lit and awash in romantic tones, Lucca's dining room is unquestionably one of the North End's most romantic. Hordes of regulars line the handsome mahogany bar on weekends, whereas weeknights draw couples on dates and visiting business types. Dutiful servers maintain a welcoming vibe by ensuring that wine glasses stay filled. When the weather agrees, the front windows open up onto Hanover St. allowing for cool breezes and prime people-watching.
The Food
Lucca's inviting menu merges regional Italian staples with modern European fare. This varied approach yields a roast duck, spinach and goat cheese tart sharing table space with a dish of hand-cut basil pasta tossed with a traditional Bolognese sauce. The house Caesar salad, in which red and green romaine is topped with marinated white anchovies, demonstrates the kitchen's penchant for style. Standout homemade desserts include a warm, flourless chocolate cake with vanilla bean gelato and a poached pear brulee.

Recently had a birthday dinner here and loved it! Atmosphere was nice and waitress was great. I had the beef tar tar which is a personal favorite and it was fabulous!! Nice restaurant for an occasion or just a dinner out! Definitely try Lucca!

I have heard about Lucca before as being a great place , so I decided to go there with some friends last Saturday. I was really impressed with how friendly everybody was from the front door to the buss people. The place was packed it is much larger than I thought with lots of different rooms. The halibut was really good and the carrot cake was also really good. My friend all enjoyed their meals and we are going again next week. A good discovery
Pros: big restaurant easier to get a reervation
Cons: busy, busy, busy
