                                                This was our first time here and the food was amazing! We got the calamari appetizer which is grilled and not fried and the sauce was so good. My husband got the rigatoni bolognese and he said it was delicious. I got the tenderloin and it was wonderful! We will be back!

                                                I booked three of us at Lucca for a business dinner. Chose it for the location closer to my guest's hotel near Haymarket. They took us right away on our reservation. You walk through the bar into the much quieter dining room. The room is a bit austere - wood floors, wood tables and white walls with art. Service was great! Our server was efficient, friendly, and stayed to chat when we asked some questions. The food was very good, but not great: - I split an arugula salad with one other - that was great - light, bright and large. - My guest's vegetable pasta was very good - light, citrusy and colorful. - My wife's halibut was bland - the only real seasoning was on the mashed potatoes. - My wild boar ragu pasta was rich and savory, but could have used a little more oomph. Two of us had glasses of wine, both were great. So overall, very good, but not tipped into great.

To pick one dish would be difficult- we tried many - the filet, salmon, & shrimp scampi (all delicious) but he creme' brulee was new for us and a favorite of the night! We will certainly be back. Thank you for having us.

                                                Apps out quickly but main dishes took over 75 mins. Appreciated waiter and taking some off bill but just lost our two orders. Table next to us came at least 15 mins after us and were served and left before our entrees came. What to say.

                                                The service and food were outstanding. Noise level was loud but not enough that we had to shout. We were off to the side of the downstairs dining room. Valet was $30. I’d go back here in a heartbeat. :)
