Lucca

First time here was for Portland Dining Month. I read a lot reviews prior and couldn't agree more with them. Delicious food and great service. I recommend Lucca and will be back soon.

It had been a while since we visited because of various travel and other engagements. We sat at the bar and the attention that Steve gave us was perfect. The salad to start was simple but wonderful. As usual, the dressing was an excellent topping to the salad. We ordered a pizza as we feel it is one of Lucca's specialties. We were not disappointed! Just enough "heat" to make it interesting.Lastly, Steve makes one of the best lemon drops one could ever order - or even order twice!

Love the food, atmosphere and bartenders were really nice. I liked the mix drinks they made. Reserve a table if you don't want to wait $5/glass wine at 5pm. Roasted Brussels sprouts and delicata was our favorite.

My girlfriend had been walking by this restaurant for a few weeks and had always wanted to go as from the street everyone inside always seemed to enjoy themselves. When we arrived they had just started to get busy and we were lucky enough to get 2 spots. We were pleasently welcomed by the waitress and we're allowed the perfect amount of time to choose our initial drinks and when they arrived we were greeted by one of the best "bread appetizers" I've had! Their cocktails are definitely some of the best I've ever had. The wine selection with dinner was also exceptional and the main dishes speak are also delicious. This place may be a little higher priced, but the food and experience are WELL within the value. Highly recommend!!!

Went on a business lunch here on a recommendation. It’s a really quaint neighborhood eatery; parking was surprisingly easy no problem.

Everyone there is super friendly and attentive. Little to no wait on anything during the whole time. Great ambience and decor for anything from a business meal to a date night.

Food is fantastic! We both had the Caesar Salad. My colleague had the pizza which he said was great. And I had the garganelli pasta dish which is phenomenal. The sauce and mushrooms are excellent but it’s the house made fennel sausage that is the star of the show. We split the house made pistachio ice cream which is as good as it gets.

I definitely plan on returning and highly recommend that you give them a try.
