I was in DSM with my wife and we and another couple went to Lucca for dinner - what a treat! For starters, I like the ambiance.... An old brick wall lines one long-side of the restaurant with hardwood floors beneath, but inside the four walls is a modern barand kitchen and you can watch as chefs prepare the food. The menu consisted of four courses with options for each course and itwas very reasonably priced. We each had different entrees, including seafood, steak and chicken parmesan. What makes therestaurant work so well is the team approach where each server works the food order flow, regardless of who your primary serveris. Nothing was rushed, and yet each course was prompt. All the entrees came from kitchen to table within moments of beingprepared and all were cooked perfectly. The owner Steve even spent time at our table and its clearly evident he takes greatpride in each meal served and speaking with customers. We will be back again! Read more

Lucca (Thu, 03/24) The Dinner Club is working our way through our looooong list of places we want to attend. And, most all of... us were first-timers on Thursday night. Steve, the owner, assured our experience was incredible. A personal introduction,wine recommendations, and a complementary cabernet for our club to (thoroughly) enjoy! You choose from their selection, yourfirst three courses (salad, pasta, protein) then enjoy a dessert plate with portions of each selection. Robert, our server,was patient with our quickly sidetracked group. He was prompt, patient, and quick to refill our bread! Let's dig into thefood! No complaints with our first course as the various salads were dressed proportionately and delicious. The secondcourse? This is where we may have been a little loud as we exclaimed our excitement with our personal selection. And, wepassed our dishes around for everyone to try. Gnocchi, rigatoni, etc.: perfectly prepared, cheesy, well-seasoned...I couldgo on and on! I believe we covered every option in the fourth course, and in the words of Janice from Friends: "Oh. My. God!" I can personally attest to the ribeye, scallops, chicken parmesan, and salmon. I'm hesitant with scallops as I findthem cooked poorly and/or tasting far too 'fishy'. You won't find me saying any of that because they were incredible. Theportions are perfect. We only had one club member ask for a box and we are all still judging her for not cleaning her platelike we all did with each course. The only constructive feedback is the final course: dolci. We had a cookie, gelatin,flour less brownie, and palette cleanser. The cookie was across-the-board approved, but after that the reviews were mixed andwe traded like we had pogs in junior high. I believe there is an opportunity to elevate the dessert selection to meet thelevel of the rest of the course - and, perhaps showcase local dessert businesses with their amazing selections.

Charming place. The menu looked great, lots of pasta and other Italian-style dishes, but I had a salad and even that was... top-notch. While we were dining there, at least four or five people came in to collect to-go orders, so it's clearly a popularlocal lunch choice! Read more
