Delicious food and great service. We liked the decor, but would appreciate real chairs with backs rather than square cubes. Our backs were sore when we left.

This place is a gem! The owner is so welcoming and Melissa our waitress made our whole experience so personal! It was Christmas Eve and a special night for us as a family to be all together and Senti showcased how good Pittsburgh food can be with their crowd pleasing appetizers and the duck which was to die for. Even though it was 9.30 on the night before Christmas we felt very non rushed through our meal and thank the staff for working so hard to make our night so memorable!

I met a friend for dinner on a Thursday night and we had a great time catching up. The food is delicious, the service prompt, warm, and friendly, and the atmosphere cozy. Parking can be somewhat of a bear, but Lucca's is worth that relatively small inconvenience.
