                                                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.

                                                This restaurant was wonderful. Visiting from out of town it’s always difficult to choose a great restaurant especially when spoilt for choice in the North End. Lucca did not disappoint from the warm friendly greeting at the front it was a busy Saturday night, yet everyone was courteous, fun and attentive. The bar tenders were super busy but catered to all of our needs. Whilst we booked a table we decided to stay and the bar and eat. We ordered the braised beef with gnocchi Amazing the focaccia was fresh and we also order the most amazing garlic bread. Honestly I was already full after this delight. We went on the order the Halibut with leek and potato puree delicate and so tasty and finished our dining experience with the cheese cake and crème brûlée. Delicious. We only had one drink each the bill was $150 and worth every bit. It was a super experience and if we are in Boston again we would Most definitely eat here.

                                                Really good. Awesome vibe, friendly fast service, food also was pretty good. The negatives, we sat in the side room, kind of a bummer. Main room with the bars was hopping and fun. Meatball appetizer was good, I was excited so a bit disappointed. I ordered the Ciopinni with some linguini. Really good dish, but not amazing just pretty good. Go and check it out, sick location, vibe on fire on weekends in main room. Try it, a gem on Hanover Street- better than the famous highly marketed restaurants on Hanover. Enjoy!
