Absolutely a fantastic experience. The food tasted fantastic. We had the grilled octopus, which was delicious in every way, with its lemon and polenta. I had the duck breast, which was also fantastic. It had some of the best food that I've ever had.

The staff is always friendly and the food is consistently delicious. I always appreciate the chilled salad plate and crispy thin and buttery pizza crust. Always a solid choice when dining at Luccas.
