“ Holy cow the food here was delicious! The seafood linguine was off the charts and the noodles were by far the best I've ever tasted before. Definitely recommend this place! ”
“ Ristorante Lucca really delivers when it comes to Italian food. Everything we ordered was fresh and full of flavour. The service was solid , professional and friendly. I especially liked the terrace, nice ambiance without trying too hard. Also a good wine selection with options that pair well with the menu. Definitely a spot I’d come back to. ”
“ Stopped by during the day to see the menu and inquired about reservation. Advised the chef just arrived and menu is not ready yet. Liked the fact that chef is in charge of me he based on available ingredients of the day. Small and cozy place. Reservation was made for 6 PM with our commitment to leave by 8:30 PM. Seasonally available food was fresh Hence, delicious. Fried calamari was heavenly light and crispy. Fresh figs filled with cheese and wrapped in spam was little salty but coupled with glass of red wine was perfect. Grilled Veal chop with polenta and spinach was juicy and cooked to perfection. Halibut, shrimp combined with fresh grilled asparagus, peppers, zucchini, eggplant and anise was my favorite special of the day. Fish was just grill enough to be moist and delicious. Shrimp was crispy yet not dry. Dessert options sounded good but diet killed the pleasure . Oh well next time ”
“ I rarely give a restaurant a 5-star rating, but everything here was perfect—the food, the flavors, and the way the mussels were cooked—absolutely spot on! I highly recommend starting with the Calamari Fritti as an appetizer, and whatever you do, don’t miss the Tiramisu! ”
“ We had a lovely dinner on the terrace with delicious flavourful Italian food and friendly informative service. Great vibes and neighbourhood ambiance. Best hazelnut gelato ever!!! Gracie. Visiting from Toronto. ”
“ Place was wonderful. Food was amazing and the staff were so pleasant and made it a really special experience. Very personalized! Was impressed how much our waiter knew about the menu off the top of his head and how good his recommendations were. We will absolutely be back! ”
“ Food was delicious. I had the burrata and filet mignon. The sauce in the filet mignon was a bit strong for me though. Service was great. ”
“ A truly authentic Italian resto. I’m pretty sure my Nonna would have taken a few ideas lol. We had some of the specials of the day, which I highly recommend trying. I’m still baffled on how there were able to cook everything perfectly and very timely. Service was on point, and we were even offered a complimentary glass of limoncello at the end. See you again soon! ”
