v good. the night i was there (a tuesday) they served a flat rate 4-course menu for $40, which i wasn’t expecting. it was delicious!! but i also expected to order off an a la carte menu. still good!

Try the spinach and ricotta pasta , rigatoni cooked al dente , sprinkled with ricotta , tossed with sauteed spinach , then covered in a light marinara . It's earthy but not too hearty, great for lunch . Read more

Just had a Scallop Pasta at Lucca. Great value at $11 for a freshly made pasta with scallops !

I was excited to get lunch here, but I was disappointed when it came with shredded lettuce on it. If I wanted a Jimmy John's quality sandwich I would have saved my money and gone next door.
