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.

Worth a ONE time visit.

Beautiful setting, perfect for a date. Cozy and romantic without being over the top. Service was incredible. From the valet, coat check, waitress and bus boys - we were well taken care of throughout the evening. The food? It was good. Not great, but good. Bottom line on that is I'd expect it to be better at those prices. Swordfish was well prepared, not overcooked. Accompanying risotto was 'alright'. Overall it is a good spot to check out and take a date for a special occassion or to impress. But for this reviewer there are too many attractive alternatives to try that I probably won't visit again.
- Pros: Service, Atmosphere
- Cons: Average Food, Price

fantastic wine list
by rcastoro11
I was invited to a dinner at Lucca. I didn't want to go because the North End is kind of cheesy. I was really surprised by Lucca. First the wine list is one of the best I have seen in the city. They have a wine spectator award of excellence. I collect wines and they have a really, really impressive collection. The service was very attentive and the food was exceptional. I will definitely be back, I wasn't expecting such a good restaurant in the North End.
- Pros: extensive wine list
- Cons: its in the North End
