    I've been here twice myself for lunch and have scheduled business dinners here on two other occasions. The food is fantastic - I highly suggest any of the pasta dishes. They do a fantastic job of balancing their dishes to not make them too heavy. Keep in mind that their menu changes. I wouldn't say that it's "seasonal" because it doesn't work to cater to seasonal vegetables or anything of the same. However, they do take dishes off and put new ones on, so don't be surprised if you view an old menu somewhere online or if you return and the dish you loved the last time isn't there any more. (I promise you that you will find something else JUST as delicious!) While this isn't really a beer sort of place and you'd most likely order wine with the dishes, if you ARE a beer drinker (you probably are if you're in Pittsburgh...) the beer selection is odd. Dogfishhead 60 min IPA, Hoegarten, and Peroni - that's it. I haven't tried the cocktails, so I can't speak to that. Someone below mentioned the service as to why they gave such low stars. I've never been impressed with the service, but they're not horrible. I think it's just a little odd at the not top notch service for such a nice restaurant, but don't let that keep you from coming. Just keep it in mind where you do!

    Like many others, I have always walked by but never tried this place. Unfortunately, it seems that I have not missed out on much. The staff seemed less than enthused to be serving us. Upon arrival we were sat at a table that was in complete darkness. With barely any other patrons in the dining room, we kindly asked to switch tables. The server rolled his eyes and complied. Our waters were served quite late. My halibut was very good but the poor service was more rememberable. Thus, 2 stars.

    One of the best italian meals I have had in a long time. The meal started with some very delicious bread and oil. Menu was a good mix of classic preperations along with some more interesting seasonal dishes. We started off with a house made loaded focaccia, and a watermelon gazpacho which was super refreshing and flavorful. For entre's we had scallops with figs and arugula and a house made tagliatelle with pork sugo. Everything was perfect. Service was great and the outdoor patio was the perfect dining environment. We will definitely be back.

    My husband and I loved everything! We were greeted and seated by a very friendly host. Our server, Jackson, was perfect. He suggested a great wine, and we also took his food recommendations. My husband had the mixed medley of shrimp, salmon and scallops. I had the blue crab ravioli. Both were delicious!!! If we're ever in Pittsburg again, we will definitely be back.

    I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone in the Pittsburgh area. The food was very spicy and bland, the service was subpar for any establishment. Overall this was a very disappointing experience.

    Really nice environment and upscale atmosphere for a celebration or just a night out. When my dad and I walked in for a late lunch on a weekend, the host was a little curt, but our server was very friendly. We were seated at a table for two that was sectioned off by columns, which could make for a very intimate setting. I had the Atlantic salmon, which came on a bed of steamed asparagus and spinach with a chive butter sauce. The menu said steamed rice instead of the spinach. I would have appreciated the carbs, especially since the portions are on the smaller side here, but I didn't mind the spinach either. The salmon was incredibly moist, possibly due to the fact that it was on the fattier side. The vegetables were fine, and the sauce was, well, buttery-tasting. My dad ordered the grilled boneless chicken breast, which came on a bun, with fries and ketchup. (He also could've chosen salad or soup.) I tried some of his chicken, which was heavily (though not excessively) seasoned and tender. He seemed to enjoy it. The fries were crispy and pretty good, and I liked that they were seasoned with something other than salt. I'm not sure what it was. I'm not itching to return, but I had a good experience.

    I've eaten at Lucca's a couple times however this past time I went I really wasn't impressed. I actually didn't even like my entree. My husband & I split a spring mix salad which was ok nothing special & the truffle fries which were awesome. The fries w/ the truffle sauce were the best part of the whole meal. They also bring out fresh bread with olive oil & balsamic vinegar, which was good. The downside is they do not have a very big vegetarian selection. When I went there was only 2 vegetarian entree options. My first choice was the gnocchi pasta but they were out of gnocchi so I was forced to get the only other vegetarian entree on the menu, pasta w/ vegetables in olive oil. I did not like it at all. I couldn't even finish it. It had hardly any flavor and there was so much oil it made me sick. I was really disappointed b/c I have had good pasta there before. I guess they're really hit or miss unfortunately. I may go back but it'll be a while, not my first choice.

    Found Lucca on Groupon and figured we'd give it a try. We went on a Saturday night and sat at the bar. The bar itself is small, and the bartender acted as if he would have rather been at the dentist having a root canal then working that night. We started with the wedge salad and it was fresh, but nothing special. The spaghetti and meatballs, was rather bland, and lacked flavor. The pasta was cooked perfectly, but the sauce had that metal taste, as if it came straight from the can. The meatballs themselves (2) were ok, but lacked flavor. The bartender never once came over to see how our meal was, and in fact we never saw him again until we were finished and ready for the bill. Lucca does have nice ambiance, and is dimly lit. Parking can be difficult, and you may have to park a few blocks away. We would return with another Groupon, but not if paying full price.

    I'd walked by Lucca for YEARS before finally deciding to pull the trigger and dine here (as part of my eternal quest for delicious Italian food). I had an Enjoy book coupon so I figured, why not? I love this restaurant and if you haven't dined here, you've got to try it out! I've been to Lucca for relaxed dinner with friends, business meetings, and romantic dates and somehow Lucca has the right atmosphere for all three occasions. If you come here in the summer, they have a really nice patio. If you're eating inside, its still got a really nice ambiance. The food is excellent and I do not even care if I look foolish when I flip out over the meatballs the way I do. Oh my god they are so good. I recommend the ravioli, and the pizza! I've never had a bad meal here. Holy crap the scallops... they are soo very good! Lucca is not the cheapest place you can dine, but it's not dreadfully expensive and I've actually paid a lot more for food that was nowhere near as good.

    Been wanting to go here for years!! After we saw a show in town we decided to stop here for dinner. The mushroom and Brie soup was delicious. Hubby had the lamb and I had the pumpkin ravioli with mascarpone topped with toasted hazelnut. It's not cheap, but the food is oh so worth it. The one thing I would change is better lighting so the menu is easier to read. Will definitely go back!!

    We went here for our anniversary and had an awful experience. The waiter ignored us for the majority of the night while he was making drinks at the bar and another employee stood there watching him. It was not a busy time there were less than 10 people in the entire restaurant. My spaghetti tasted exactly like spaghetti-O's so if you're interested in $18 Chef Boyardee this is the place for you.

    Be a single woman customer at the bar before the arts and letters series and learn about poor and maybe gender biased service. Terrible and dismissive service. I won't be back.

    Ambiance was very nice. Had the bruschetta for an app, good I do believe the bread was Texas toast though. Lamb chops were delicious perfectly cooked the accompanying mushroom risotto was a perfect side. My wife went with the tiger shrimp dish (I'm not going to try to spell it). Good but over priced. Nice size portions on everything. Not too much but didn't leave you hungry. If you go which I would recommend at least once. Save room for dessert. The carrot cake is worth the trip and the bill! P.S. The service was some of the best I've experienced from the host to the wait staff. Extremely professional

    Unfortunately the worst service I've ever had. Ordered the steak medium rare- and it was well done... We should have sent the halibut back too because it was soooo over cooked... But my boyfriend was hungry and we didn't want to send back two entrees... Our server didn't apologize and gave us a bitter response when he took the $36 steak away... And he then became non existent. We are pretty easy going and low maintenance... But come on... These are BASICS.. He Never checked on us after that to see if this steak was correct. It Took another 20 mins for the remake the steak- and it was good But had no seasoning and was pretty bland... he dropped our check with out asking if we'd like anything else or saying anything at all.. we asked about dessert and he just said " our kitchen is closed" and walked away... it was a few mins before 9pm... Had our steak not been wrong we could have ordered dessert... Or at least communicate to us that your kitchen will Be closing... What kitchen closes at 9 on a Saturday and doesn't still have the dessert service available..... We had a groupon for $60 for $100... When he took the bill he had a smug smile on his face when he walked away due to the groupon and that was it for him- my boyfriend and I both work as severs... Always tip well..we should not have tipped at all.. But couldn't be that equally as shitty as him by doing so. I wanted to leave a tip for the host- he was great- he ended up being our "server" that checked on us and apologized for the mishap.... because our server must have been in the back spanking it or something...again, we walked in with high hopes and planned on tipping on $128 even though we had the groupon deal... Advice to the management... Clearly your servers don't care and they're ruining the reputation of this business... We will definitely not return and will spend our money where it's appreciated.

    Beautiful interior, amazing stained glass windows in the private party room, and an peaceful outdoor patio for fresh breezes, people watching, and classy tranquility. The friendly and knowledgeable staff bring perfectly prepared fresh dishes. Anything involving pasta is particularly expertly served up by this Italian ristorante. Why not give Lucca the full fiver? All the dishes were very standard fair, no imaginative surprises, and were a bit heavy on the oil. A lack of innovation, does not mean a lack of flavor or quality, but for $20-$40 entrees I'd like a twist. Come for a celebratory lunch, get appetizing entrees at half the evening prices and enjoy the uncrowded upscale ambiance and the shining Craig street sunshine! Bellísimo!

    I had a delicious pumpkin ravioli here this week. I often shy away from things that are too sweet (candies, aside) and I finished this dish without a tummy ache. Just sweet enough and filling; looked great on the plate. The decor was a bit outdated, but I didn't mind too much. Definitely a little pricey. I'd try this place again!

    I was in Pittsburgh just for the night, found this restaurant on Yelp and decided to give it a shot. I ended up having the best meal ever! Our waiter Paul was great, even offering tips of places to check out during my stay. We had the truffle fries, salads, Gnocchi and Rigatoni and the most delicious tiramisu and chocolate lava cake with chocolate gelato. The meal was very reasonably priced considering the quantity of food and level of service.

    The food here was amazing as was the atmosphere. I came on a cool, windy night with a friend, and the feel of eating outdoors along with the high-class Italian food created a very European atmosphere which I loved. The dinner was wonderful, and everything was well made with fresh ingredients. I had the Linguine, and my friend had the Papparadelle. I thought the Linguine delicious with well-made pesto, and it avoided being too unctuous thanks to the salmon. We had the Italian Lemon Torte for desert, and it was wonderfully light and refreshing after the dinner. The vanilla oil was rich but not heavy and full of flavor. The berry glaze helped give it a tarty taste which helped lighten it up. The whole dinner was just incredible. My only gripe is with the price, but honestly, I think the atmosphere and the food combined are worth the price. I won't go back for a while because I do believe the price is a bit prohibitive, but if I had the resources, this would be one of my staple restaurants to enjoy for a night out.

    Fantastic pastas and huge portions. I would recommend their fish dishes. They are definitely pricey, but Lucca always cooks the fish perfectly. The service is great, and it is not typically crowded, even on a weekend. I can only give four stars though, because of these higher-than-necessary prices and the mediocre desserts. I've had the molten chocolate cake on two different occasions and both times it was overbaked. It ended up as solid, dry cake - not molten at all! However, for a nice dinner place I would highly recommend.

  • Allison M.

    Absolutely not worth it. First- the service was inexcusable. The food was mediocre at best, and for the price we left extremely disappointed. I am fairly sure that another table just got up and left in the middle of dinner. I was really surprised at both the service and the food because it looks like a nice place and it is expensive. I will never eat here again and I am super irritated that I wasted $80 on a crappy meal and crappy service. I wish I could un-eat the meal.

  • Anna K.

    I went because I live in Oakland and I wanted decent Italian pasta. The meal which I ordered was fettuccine with housemade meat sauce and I wasn't impressed enough to pay $18 for it. Definitely over priced.The service was quick- I was in and out in no time but the service wasn't that great. I don't plan on going again.

  • Eileen D.

    Their outdoor seating is perfect for the summer, I'd try to get a table out there if at all possible. Our waiter was really friendly, attentive without being overboard. I ordered the Mafalda, which I would DEFINITELY recommend. It was thick, almost lasagna-type pasta (though not as thick) with mushrooms, artichokes, plum tomatoes, greens and feta. It was AMAZING, the mushrooms are artichokes really added a great flavor -- and in my opinion, you can't go wrong with feta. My boyfriend got the linguine, which had Atlantic salmon, diced tomatoes, spinach and pesto sauce. The salmon was good, but the rest was kind of lackluster -- plus the pesto sauce was more of a soup type consistency. I prefer pesto sauce to be a little bit thicker.. they may have gone a little thick on the olive oil. But definitely recommended - especially on a summer night, I loved watching the foot traffic go by while we ate.

    One of the better Italian restaurants in the city, and one of the nicest restaurants in Oakland, Lucca would be a fantastic choice at a lower price point. The food is well prepared; the staff is usually friendly and helpful; and the ambiance is nice without being stuffy. But the pricing for this experience is more appropriate for a city like New York or San Francisco.

    I save Lucca for special occasions since it is a bit pricey. I've found the food to be very good and recommend the calamari appetizer. I'm always amazed how they can prepare calamari to be so tender and tasty! The atmosphere is high end and the service is very attentive.

    My daughter and I went to Lucca hoping to find a quality Italian restaurant to frequent when her father and I come for visits while she's at U-PITT for the next four years. We made a reservation for 6:30 on a Saturday night, arrived a little early at 6:15. We were seated promptly, but coldly, by the "host" on duty; the restaurant was mostly empty. After being seated and ordering drinks, my Pinot Grigio came in a dirty glass covered with food remnants. This was corrected after sending it back, no big deal to me as this can happen. The waiter, the same man who seated us, never bothered to tell us about specials or speak to us at all except to ask what we wanted to order. Actually when I asked what the specials were he told me what the soup was. The bruschetta appetizer was very flavorful, but on the menu it was to be crusty, it was very soft, but excellent flavor. I asked the waiter's recommendation between the Fettuccine and the Linguini, he was certain the linguini was better. It came out over cooked and very bland. My daughter's gnocchi was great. Being Italian, flavor is very important, if I need to add spice, it's no good. I could not eat it. The waiter finally came around after about an hour wait to see if we wanted boxes. I said no, my daughter said yes and we ordered dessert to go. When we got back to the hotel, no Gnocchi! The chocolate lava cake was not heated and was just not good, my daughter's lemon tort was freezer burned, and hardly tasted of lemon, but the cake consistency was good. We chose this restaurant based on location and decent prior reviews. The food being hit and miss was one thing, but a horrid, uncaring waiter is unacceptable. Other waiters seemed great and other customers seemed happy. I usually tip over 25% having, waited tables in college, even for mediocre service. I still gave an undeserved 10%, but looking back wish I'd have left nothing. This person needs training or to be let go, along with the dish washers and management. After sending a dirty glass back someone should come apologize, after not being able to eat a meal, yet paid for it, management should have sprung into action. Very sad to give a bad review, I was expecting so much better.

    This is the best place I've had Italian food in Pittsburgh. Had Bruschetta for an appetizer. Nice and crunchy and the cherry tomatoes were a nice twist. Cheese ravioli was to die for! Service was nice. Atmosphere is quiet so great place for a date. They also are very accomodating if you have any special requests or dietary restrictions. The only thing I didn't like was the price. This place is closed for lunch. Seems like such a missed business opportunity since they're located right by 2 universities. If they had a cheaper lunch meal I would come here regularly.

    If you havent been here yet, I totally recommend it. It's super classy and intimate. If your in collage, it's a great place to take your parents to when they visit and it's close to campus. If you are living on the cheap, go for the lunch. It's cheaper than union grill. Ask for the Costa pasta.

    Worst dining experience ever! I went here for lunch with my mentally disabled client. We planned to use a bogo coupon from the Entertainment Book (or Enjoy...can't remember for sure). We showed the coupon to the waiter and asked if we could use it on salads (since we wanted a light lunch and these were plate size salads). We were told yes. However, after we ate the waiter refused to honor what he had told us. He apologized and stated that the manager said we could not use the coupon since the salad we ordered did not have meat on it. I asked to speak to a manager. I tried to explain to the manager that we had specifically asked about the coupon before ordering and that my companion had limited funds. He became very angry and raised his voice at us. People began to stare which made both of us feel very awkward. I then asked (very politely I might add, because I was working and not allowed to lose my temper) that they charge us for a salad with meat at the bogo price, even though we did not receive meat. This suggestion really seemed to enrage him and so I quickly said nevermind and please just have the waiter return with the bill (which he had taken with him when he went to find the manager). The waiter never returned with our bill. We sat there (my client very visibly shaken with tears in her eyes as she does not handle confrontation like this well) for over five minutes before getting up and going to the podium where people enter in hopes of being able to pay our bill. My client was so upset I had to write an incident report! Maybe the manager was just having a bad day, but it was extremely inappropriate behavior. I should state that this happened a year ago, so this man may no longer work here. What a shame though, because I actually really liked the restaurants atmosphere and, though pricey, the food was good :(

    Fancy, expensive, overpriced. I only go here when one of the vendors I work with treats me to lunch. Otherwise I just couldn't be tempted because of the price. I have had delicious quiche here, but it was pretty standard as far as quiche goes and nothing to write home about. Everything I saw on the menu was just so expensive, and I didn't see any wow factors in terms of what they serve. The nice part about going with a big group is that you see a lot of different items at once, but everything looked pretty average. Not a ton of option for vegetarians outside of salads, but they serve pastas, so you could probably ask for something special. In terms of ambiance, it is upscale and masculine, with darkly hued, well appointed furniture and decor. The dining areas are comfortable and clean. There is a wonderful outdoor seating area that has a large awning, when temperature permits.

  • Kostas P.

    I have been to this place several times, mainly for a business lunch since it appears to be the only restaurant around that area to offer such an environment. The atmosphere when you enter is nice and it also has a nice outdoor patio for the summer. However, the quality of the food is not as expected. To be more precise, the value for money is not good. While the food is decent, with fair entrees and a fairly good variety, the place is overpriced. I would assume that this is due to the lack of other alternatives around for similar occasions, but in general I try to avoid this place for that reason. Again, not that I do not enjoy the food and atmosphere when I go, but it is nothing spectacular to justify the prices.

  • Brittany H.

    Went here on a quiet Friday evening with friends. The place is much more sophisticated than it looks from the outside so the prices are deceivingly high. I ordered the mushroom ravioli, which is served with chicken, tomatoes and a white cream sauce. The pasta was good, but the sauce was quite heavy and I was unable to finish. It was a little disappointing because the dish was $18 for about 5 raviolis in a sauce I couldn't even eat. At that price, I'd expect a little better. A friend ordered the 10oz. filet mignon, which was delicious and served with cheesy potatoes au gratin. Others ordered the mafalda pasta but they forgot the cheese one of them. Our server was great -- I half expected subpar treatment at such a place being a bunch of hungry casually-dressed grad students, but he was very attentive and pleasant, even answering questions about the food with detail and without judgment. Overall a very nice meal, despite the fact that some of the clientele seemed bothered by our presence (seems most customers were older, more affluent type). At the end of the day, I just felt it was overpriced. I wouldn't expect $20 simple pasta dishes and $35 entrees at a place located around the corner from numerous universities and across from a Quizno's.

    I planned a rehearsal dinner from Massachusetts via the phone and email with Monica. The afternoon of the rehearsal my husband and I stopped by Lucca Ristorante to check things out. I met the waitstaff who were already nicely setting the patio up for us and the evening manager Saurav, who assured us all would be perfect. Our party of 40 arrived almost all at once which seemed not to be a problem for the kitchen, waiters or bar. We were treated very well and all thought the appetizers Crispy Prosciutto, Calamari, and Bruschetta were delicious. For a first course we had the Caprese salad, Arugula salad and Caesar which were all very fresh. The meals of Tuscan Chicken, Veal Parmesean, Sea Scallops, and Fettucini, all came out with impeccable timing, hot, and again really yummy. We kept the dessert simple with Rasberry Sorbet or Chocolate Gellato, which all were glad because the portions had been generous and we were all feeling full. I can't say enough about the respectful service we recieved and how good the food was, as well as the price being fair. Next time I am in Pittsburgh I will most definetely return to Lucca Ristorante and Wine Bar.

  • Ramee Y.

    I was treated to dinner and dessert here, both of which were sublime. Although I was tempted to stuff myself full with Lucca's amazing pre-dinner breads+olive oil, I managed to control myself and of that I am very proud. I ordered the Seafood Mix Grill (delicious, but would have ordered their signature Frutti di Mare con Penne if it didn't have a cream sauce and I wasn't lactose intolerant) and two of their three desserts (get the White Chocolate Fruit Tart, the Chocolate Lava Cake is nowhere near as satisfying). The staff was pleasant, the atmosphere suave. Perhaps not worth the $30+ per entree, but should you have a bit of extra pocket money, certainly not the worst investment one could make.

    I had a Valentine's dinner here, and it was pretty much the atmosphere that made the meal for me. The food definitely wasn't bad, but for the price it definitely wasn't the most amazing Italian food I'd ever had. Like I said, very nice atmosphere, very cozy and classic feeling.

    Every once in a while I find myself thinking "hey, let's give Lucca another try." And I always leave confirming my feeling that it's not very interesting or particularly tasty food served by officious staff at inappropriately upscale prices. There are better -- and less expensive -- places to find Italian food in Pittsburgh.

    overpriced california/italian food. Small portions. Lunch service is slow. Don't expect to be out of there in an hour. Patio in the summer is a good place for a leisurely $20 lunch. Decent place to take a visitor if you on an expense account.

Italian Cuisine

The immense popularity of Italian cuisine globally isn't unknown. You can find an Italian Pizzeria around every corner of almost every city in the United States. Not to forget that in every house, people enjoy mac and cheese as comfort food. But it would be wrong to believe that Italian food starts with pizza and ends with good pasta as this Mediterranean country has much more to offer other than these two dishes. In Italian Cuisine, there is a high use of fresh tomatoes, all kinds of herbs, great quality of cheese, all types of meat, seafood and fresh handmade pasta. Many find it hard to believe that Italians have been making noodles long back.

Italian and Greek cuisines are always mistaken to be same, but they are poles apart. The primary difference between the two cuisines is the use of cheese in most of the Italian dishes. Italians love to cultivate their own cheese and process them as per their food requirement. It is believed that some cheese is so expensive that cheese producers secure them in lockers.

If you are bored eating the same old pasta or pizza, you can try some of the authentic Italian dishes like Risotto, Polenta, Ribollita, Lasagna, Fiorentina Steak, Bottarga, Ossobuco, Carbonara, Focaccia, Arancini and Supplì. Another item which Italians love to relish every morning is a good cup of Italian Coffee. Once you taste a freshly brewed cup of Italian Coffee, you might not visit Starbucks ever again. Authentic Italian food is made with heart and soul, so go find a restaurant where you can relish Italian cuisine in your city.
