Review 2 for Lucca

Overall Rating 5.0 out of 5 (Outstanding)
"What a wonderful dinner!! It shows that the chef had been at the French Laundry and Per Se with Thomas Keller in every dish. We stuck with the prix fixe menu which at $37 pp was quite reasonable.
The only complaint would be that the bread was not warm and not up to the standards of the rest of the menu. That was too bad because instead of serving it with butter, it was served with a white bean dip. We went thru 2 portions of that!
The risotto was a little different, not as creamy as I would have expected but, filled with the best of ingredients. I will ask for this as an entree on my next visit. My wife's soup was also delicious. I was in the mood for a good pasta dish, the bolognese sauce was delicious (but, a tad dry).

"The best thing was the gnocchi appetizer with oxtail sauce -- that was delicious. However, the romano salad was basically average, and the rigatoni with wild boar was a real disappointment: sweet-ish, sticky, room temperature rather than hot. Also, the wine list is definitely over-priced."

"My wife and I were in Boston for Valentine’s Day. In the past we have avoided eating out on that day because it was always rushed. We were pleasantly surprised by LUCCA. We have been often to NY’s Little Italy and didn’t expect the restaurant ambiance to be so elegant. We were seated immediately and given a great table. The staff at the reception desk were friendly and our waiter was attentive. The food was memorable. The Capriccio was the best we ever tasted. The salad was enormous and perfectly balanced. Our two pasta dishes were simply delicious. We are looking forward to our next trip"

"My girlfriend took me here for my birthday dinner. but the great service started before we even sat down. I walked in to see about a valet because there was no parking on any of the streets, the server acutally walked out of the restaurant and got me a parking spot. When I returned from parking I was pleased to see a huge wine listand a great dinning enviorment. My girlfriend and I had an exceptional meal with exceptional service to match from the server to the food runner and the bus person. With such a great experince we have already added Lucca to our favorites and plan on returning much more often to try all the great food."

"Food was fantastic. The wait staff were superb in offering opinions on wine, meal and desert, including them identifying items that were good on the menu but that there were probably better choices that night - well done. Even though we were there on the Saturday night before Valentines Day and they were looking to move the volume of customers through, we let our waitress know that we wanted to take a little time after our entree to finish our wine before desert and she accomodated us beautifully.
Last note - parked in the Govt Center garage ($10 at night) and the 5 minute walk back to the car was perfect after the meal.

"Everything was great
We requested a different table after we were seated and we were accommodated right away with exactly what we wanted.
The food was delicious and the portions were just right.
We would have liked a little more time between appetizers and the main course and we will request as much the next time we have dinner there.
We are very happy with our experience.

"My husband and I visited Lucca on Valentine's Day. We valeted the car and were seated promptly downstairs when we arrived (even though we were a little early). We took a wine suggestion from the waitress, which turned out to be an excellent choice. Out first course consisted of the Insalata Verde and the Gnocchi. The salad was ok, nothing special. The Gnocchi came out burned, so my husband sent it back and they prepared him a new plate, which he ended up thoroughly enjoying. The main entrees were fabulous. I had the Scallops & Duck and my husband had the Pork Chop. We also got a side of Chessy Garlic Bread (at the suggestion of the waitress), which I would also strongly suggest. We didn't stay for dessert."

"The food was good but the service was not. The waiter tried to increase the dollar amount of our order at every junction, something that is usually done subtly and I don't mind but this was over the top and annoying. At the end the waiter took our receipt (a good 10 minutes before we actually left) for our coats and said they would be at the front. We then had to wait another 10-15 minutes at the front to get our coats and then had to pressure the host to again go retrieve our coats. I doubt we will go back."

"The food was amazing. I went with my girlfriend for Valentine's day. We got a great table tucked in a corner in the basement so it make things more private. I had a mouth watering filet topped with some sauce that was delicious. Definitely recommend it. Get the dessert special for two. The flourless chocolate cake with ice cream is unreal."

"Our four diners enjoyed our meals. My beef tenderloin and accompaniments were terrific. The diver scallops were excellent, but the potato kale hash was too potatoy and the truffle mushrooms, while maybe present, had little impact on the flavor or aroma of the dish. The noise level was high as evidenced by the fact that we all had to lean into the conversation to be heard. However, they had two private parties in the guest dining rooms which may have accounted for the high noise level. The general feeling was that the entrees were a bit pricey given the ambiance."

"I have eaten here several times before & the food was always excellent. This time was less pleasurable for me - which was disappointing since we were there to celebrate two birthdays. We were seated by the back door (which was drafty) next to the bar area (which had a few very LOUD patrons). I had the beef carpaccio app - it was good, horseradish sauce wasn't overpowering. Mom had the signature app (duck confit) she loves, said it was good but different this time. My guy had the oxtail gnocchi app that was DELICIOUS! Dad had the mussels app & was very pleased. I had the scallop entree, cooked well but disappointed with the side. Overall was just good. Bistecca was excellent - cooked perfectly, side was great! Went elsewhere for dessert."

"We had a wonderful experience here on New Year's Eve. It was very lively and filled with a younger-type crowd... the hostess went out of her way to seat us at a quieter, very nice table on the lower level, which was greatly appreciated. Service and food were excellent, especially the boar rigatoni. Will definitely return."

Overall Rating 1.0 out of 5 (Poor)
"The only positive note was the service. Monstruous portions of sauce on way over-cooked pasta. It seems nobody in that kitchen knows anything about italian cooking (all about al dente pasta with a little delicate sauce). I was so discouraged when I saw my plate (baked orechiette with sausage, rapini and...)that I took maybe five or six bites of it. Incidentaly, I wonder how such a huge main dish can be preceeded by a lonely single slice of prosciutto. For the same price in Montreal, I can buy 25 slices of authentic prosciutto di Parma. The quality of the food is not even on the same planet as the quality of the wine list. How can anybody have a $500 or $800 bottle of wine with the kind of meal I could have in any diner??"

"Allthough it wasn't very crowded, there was quite a noise level. We had a hard time understanding our waitress (who should have yelled but couldn't - or wouldn't). Although the food was well prepared, it was less of a delight than we had experienced here before. Nothing special really and in some instances even somewhat bland. Don't get me wrong, the food is good, but unlike before it feels like you're paying too much for what you're getting. A nice wine selection with bottles starting in the $40's reaching into expense account stratosphere ($1250?). Lucca is still a safe bet in the North End if you want to escape red sauce. But it seems to have lost some of its "wow.""

"Waitress was excellent, recommended a great wine and was the perfect blend of friendly and attentive and leaving us to enjoy the food. The food was delicious, great mussels and scallops, melt in your mouth steak. We had a small table in the corner near the window, perfect for two on a special occasion. We dressed up and felt proper, but you could also go more casual."

"Lucca was just okay. I go out to eat a lot and was not very impressed. The waitress was knowledgeable but rushed us. We asked for a quiet table since we were on a mini honeymoon and our table was attached to a waitstaff station and we kept hearing the clanking dishes and the wall right next to our table was moving. NOT romantic or quiet. There just should not be a table there. The Caesar salad was not very good and came out with anchovies. The waitress should have asked if we wanted them because I couldn't touch it after that. My pasta dish was pretty good but nothing special that I would go back for and not worth the price. My husband loved his steak but again not the best. I wouldn't go again unless nothing else is available."

"I had a terrific dining experience at Lucca. The food was delectable and very promptly served. My only (minor) problem was that our waiter seemed to notice that my dining partner and I were college students, and he just didn't quite treat us like adults. It could've just been his personality though, so don't fire anyone based on that!"

"Terrific restaurant with great food and very good service. For some reason, I was expecting a waterfront restaurant because somewhere in the web information it was touted that way; but it was located far up at what I consider "the beginning" of Hanover St. So that was a little disappointing. But the neighborhood is vibrant and the short walk to Mike's Pastry was a bonus! Overall, a great dining experience!"

"I am extremely surprised this still restaurant exists. The food wasn't, fine, it was horrible. I ordered Rigatoni alla Cinghiale, that came dry with hard chunks of boar. The appetizers seemed like they came out of a can, and not a good quality one at that.

The food was incredibly over-priced, I've had better food cooked that's come out of a tin.

The service was extremely annoying. We had three waiters serve us water at the same time at one point, for a table of three.

I will definitely not be coming back.

"The Statler chicken breast was outstanding. I don't usually order chicken when eating out, but this was exceptional. The antipasto platter was fine, but nothing special, although the calamari on it was very tender. My dining companions ordered the pumpkin ravioli and the orecchietti with sausage and were happy. Portions are generous. The food is excellent here but the prices are high. There are better dining values in the North End. Wine list is extensive, but expensive too."
