Lucca Ristorante

The atmosphere is gorgeous here and the food is superb. I had the porterhouse veal cooked perfectly! The staff was so nice and accommodating. My mother and I were so comfortable and had such a good time. They give you u lots of food and all of it was exceptional. Definitely will be coming back soon. Our waiter’s name was Zach; he was so personable and attentive.

Great atmosphere, cute indoor decoration, and we were able to get a table without reservation when we walked in a little before 7pm on Sunday. When we ordered salad for the table, it came in a small plate for each person at the table, which was really cute. The Caesar salad was delicious, and the fries were great. However, all the taste of the linguine alle vongole was from the salt of the clams, and the pasta itself was quite bland. Also, the seat pad I sat on was sinking, making me 2 inches shorter. For the entire duration of our dining experience, I felt like I was gradually “engulfed” by the chair. When I pointed it out nicely to the waiter after check, I received a simple response “yeah some chairs had that problem.” I would wish they could switch out those chairs for their customers’ comfort.

We picked this restaurant on a whim while putting together our itinerary for our annual Pittsburgh trip. Easy to find & street parking is free. Our server was super kind & provided good feedback on the menu when asking for recommendations. When initially searching through the website, we were drawn to the picture of the cast-iron skillet with several meatballs, bathing in marinara sauce. That drew us in! The apple cider martini was pretty good. Having the picture of the meatball dish in our head, we ordered meatballs as our appetizer. The appetizer was a little deceiving but still good. It came with garlic bread, but unfortunately the bread was not toasted so the overall dish was to die for. But a solid 3 out of 5. Our entrees were the redemption! So well done and well seasoned. The only thing I would be picky about is the beef short rib & Parmesan risotto was a tad bit garlicky. Dessert was good! Overall good safe choice for Italian dining in Pittsburgh.

As out of towners, we took a chance on a restaurant sight unseen. We made a great choice. The food was great, the atmosphere was wonderful, and the service that Danna provided was exemplary. She was attentive to our food and drink needs, and spent a lot of time with us telling us about the vicinity and the schools in the area. Highly recommend this restaurant. Thanks, Danna!

Danna our server was absolutely fantastic! She delivered TOP NOTCH service! We are new to the area and asked for suggestions on what to order and she was able to let us know all of the details about each selection we chose. I selected the Chicken Alfredo and it was amazing. So flavorful and delicious. Definitely a place to check out!
