    We were at Luca’s for a 25th birthday dinner on a Sunday evening. The piano player was excellent and sang happy birthday to us several times. He played all of our requested songs. The server explained the menu and prepared our ceaser salad and pasta in a cheese wheel at our table side. It was a fantastic performance. The food was delicious and looked like artwork. The entire staff was very kind and attentive to us. We will be planning more events at Lucca’s. This place is very unique. You have dinner in one room then move to another room (piano room) for dessert and an after dinner drink. It has a 1950’s Hollywood vibe, which is very cool. Dress nice, this place is fancy and very special:)
