Lucca was incredible. Low lighting, intimate, a solid date-night spot right away. Service was outstanding, and honestly our waiter deserves his own shoutout. He was unreal. Knew the menu top to bottom, answered every question without hesitation, and gave great recommendations. I started with the Spicy Mango Not-A-Rita mocktail. Wow. Every sip had mango, lime, and the Tajín rim tied it all together. Super fresh and a little spicy. For the main, I couldn't look past the Carne, filetto alla Rossini. 8 oz Black Angus filet, ordered medium. When it came out, it was charred on the outside, super juicy and tender. The flavors were insane. Beef, mushrooms, sauce, all working together. The edges had this crispy texture, and every bite had a smoky note. Straight up heaven. The only downside, it leaned more rare than medium, so I didn't finish it. Still, that first bite? Totally worth it. read more

Restaurante week 2026! Opening up RW2026 with takeout because my gf is sick. Best remedy for any illness is Ragú. Arancini balls were good, and the beets appetizer was solid. Melanzane with gnocchi and papardelle with ragú for the mains. I always love a good papardelle but the ragú was the star of the show. Very hearty and lots of meat in it. For dessert the tiramisu had a great flavor, but seemed like a very small portion. I know RW tends to see smaller portions but this seemed light.... The chocolate cake was very good, especially the ice cream on top. I had to race home to keep it from melting all the way. You can taste and see the vanilla in it. Pretty good meal and good way to start RW. I appreciate the restaurant serving their RW menu for takeout. Not all restaurants do that. I would not recommend getting takeout from here. The restaurant is gorgeous so put on a good outfit, grab that special someone, and go enjoy a nice evening out. read more

Who would have thought that a restaurant located in an office building would have these vibes?! Date night without lithe kids, booked a last minute table on a beautiful day and we're still able to sit outside in their patio. Which btw is super cute because they add a lot of greenery and plants and cute umbrellas. It was busy and service was pretty slow but the waitstaff were very friendly. I really loved the arancini. And my husband and I liked our entrees. The chicken was filling enough where I had to box some up. I can't wait to come back! The inside looks equally as nice. read more

This place is amazing! Even though fully seated, John pulled me up a chair to the bar and made me a spot while introducing me to Jay, who was really great as well. They gave me a beer that was made special for their restaurant that was delicious. I had the wild boar ragu that was perfect Al dente homemade pasta and tasted amazing. They even gave me a complimentary glass of orangechello they made. Incredible. Real hospitality. We're incredibly warm friendly and welcoming. Couldn't recommend more! Not even a block away from the Marriott here. read more

Food was tasty and I'm sure it'd be even more delicious freshly served to your table. I tried Lucca's through They're catering at the restaurant for a company dinner. Their service was excellent, and there was always someone immediately ready to be at your service whether it was to fill up your glass, take your empty plates away, or put in your next cocktail order, they were always ready! Truly a great experience! read more

The food and the service was amazing. One of the owners, Steven, came over and chatted with me. Not just how was your food, but an actual chat. And...I think I messed up and ordered the wrong entree. The waiter was very gracious, brought me what I meant to order and never made me feel bad about it. And only charged me for the one entree. The sauce in my pasta with seafood was absolutely delicious. I told Steven I wanted to "bathe in it." I don't live in Chicago, but next time I am here, I am definitely coming back!! Thank you for a wonderful dinner. read more

Food was absolutely amazing! The only complaint is the bus boy! Very annoying to constantly come to the table and ask if we're done eating and we are clearly eating! Grabbing stuff from the table without saying excuse me while we're eating. Literally took all of our waters trying to rush us out because they were busy. Very very unprofessional! The general manager and waitress were very friendly! Waitress was very knowledgeable of the menu and we took all of her suggestions! read more

The dinner itself was awesome. But I particularly enjoyed the presentation and ambiance. It was busy but didn't feel overcrowded and wasn't too loud. The fettuccine is very rich and decadent! The Parmesan wheel that it's cooked in really ruminates and elevates the dish further. On top of the pasta being freshly made! We also enjoyed the calamari. It was lightly breaded and tasted fresh. The arrabbiata peppers added some nice heat to the dish. Wasn't able to get a picture but the hazelnut gelato was a great way to end the meal! Will definitely come back here. read more

I love the outdoor ambiance of this restaurant on a nice summer evening. They have a great vibe going on with thoughtful decor and patio furniture. The inside area also looked nice. We had burrata for an appetizer which had tomatoes and arugula as well, with 4 strips of bread. We also had bruschetta which was strange because it was with Giardiniera. I didn't care for it but if you like Giardiniera then you'll probably like it. For dinner I had the fettuccine Alfredo which is served from their cheese wheel. This was one of the better Alfredo's I've had. The portion size was great! I will definitely come back! read more

If you're looking for a vibrant dining experience, this trendy Italian gem is the place to be! The moment you step in, you're greeted by the irresistible aroma of authentic Italian flavors that promise to whisk you away. We hit the jackpot with the Owner Mr. Steven slicing the steak & Chef Claudio serving us as he prepares fresh pasta right in a parma wheel. Talk about a personalized touch! With 13 people spread across two tables, I got so caught up in the company that I completely forgot to snap pictures of our mouthwatering dishes! Trust me, it's that good! We had steak, creamy fettucini, sea bass, wedge, caprese, calamari, la Margherita. Don't miss out! We enjoyed our evening here! read more

One of the best meals we have had in a long time. From start to finish, excellent service and you really feel like you are a valued guest. They have great timing on meals without feeling rushed and every item we ordered was delicious. They split a pasta for our kids who wanted the bolognese and it was the perfect portion. We had two starters, a salad and three mains with drinks/mocktails and it was only $200 before tip. Absolutely perfect evening and immense thanks to the hosts who accommodated us after my reservation was mixed up (on my end). read more

They had valet service for $6 and the parking right in front were reserved for the valet. I parked in the parking lot and it was a short walk to the entrance. Had reservations for a Saturday night. We got seated right away. Loved the paintings of herbs all over. Started with a Gamberi E Polenta, was shrimp with polenta. Loved the flavors and creamy polenta. Main entrée was Fettuccine and was tossed in a cheese wheel. It was really quick, but was fun to watch. The dish had peas and meat, which reminds me of a Carbonara dish. Was cheesy. Had a side of broccolini to get more greens. Ended with their banana rum cake for dessert, it was on their special menu and forgot what it was called. Very delicious and was large enough to share for 2 ppl. read more

The place has a nice ambiance and I had high expectations for Mother's Day Dinner. First of all we waited an hour to be seated we had a reservation but no biggie it's Mother's Day weekend so we were fine. Once seated though here's the experience. Caroline the waitress I believe she's British or Irish absolutely the worst. The attitude she gave us the eye rolling the short answers I could not believe it. I know she was busy but it's unacceptable, again we were nice and kept quiet did not want to spoil our mother's celebration. The food came out cold and not at once, no utensils were given had to ask multiple times for steak knife's. My brother in law paid the bill but did not check. Caroline went ahead and overcharged us by $148!!! I hope all of you check your receipt. The Mother's Day ribeye filet was $52 and 6 of us ordered she charged us $65 a person then one Dish was returned due to being uncooked she double charged it refunded 1 wrote on it manager special instead of refunding both she charged 2 refunded 1. Only nice thing she did was give my mom a small desert for her birthday. We did not order any desserts we were so over this place. It's sad as we do a lot of outings as a family and love to splurge on quality food. Definetly will not be coming back. I had called them today to talk to a manager to refund me what I was overcharged $148! Which includes the tax and tip she charged on the overcharges. Will update the review with a resolution read more

Food was delicious. Shared an outstanding wedge salad made with baby romaine. The Fettucine Alfredo is the best I've ever had and the table side presentation made it extra special. Service felt rushed to the point of being inhospitable. Three in our party and two of us should've said no to having our plates cleared when our friend was clearly still eating/ not finished. She was asked more than once by different employees if she wanted her plate cleared. She was not done and the intrusion felt rude. I get you want to turn tables on a Friday night but let people eat. We'd ordered appetizers and salad and entrees. What could've been a really lovely gathering was dampened by the pushy impoliteness. Noise level is high and very vibrant.Table next to us was super loud and loved their profanity. It was both laughable and annoying. read more

A very solid, spacious Italian place just away enough from the Oak Brook mall traffic to be a good fit. About a 15-minute walk from my office nearby; parking was a little strange, with some spots in front and others off to the side (there's a big bank and a hotel nearby too). We tried the burrata appetizer along with the two raviolis on the menu--a short rib and a cheese--and both were just right, with the kinds of al dente texture I can appreciate. None of the dishes were bangers, but all were good and came out relatively quickly. Like a real restaurant in Italy, it took a little bit of doing to get a check when we were done, so they gave us some space while we did our lunch. The manager also swooped in at some point to check in, so it was a mix of "here comes the staff again" and "I need to pay this bill; where is my server?" This would be a very safe choice for a business lunch with a client or a senior executive. read more

We went to Angel's Envy manhattan night at Lucca last night. We went with our friends, double date night. The four of us started with cocktails, I had the Luccacello, which is a beautifully presented limoncello martini, my girlfriend had a French martini and the guys had the Angel's Envy Manhattan. The four of us shared two starters, the grilled calamari and the beef carpaccio. The grilled calamari was served on a bed of farro and was perfectly grilled. I wish it had four pieces of calamari instead of three so it was easily split, or at least the server informing us there's three pieces and asking if we'd like to add another for a little upcharge. The carpaccio was disappointing to me, though, because they changed the perfection. I loved the previous way it was served with cannellini beans, arugula and parmesan. The newly vamped one was served with mushrooms, just an odd pairing with the rare beef. Lucca missed the mark on this one for me. For dinner, I had the spaghetti carbonara which is always a hit. My husband had the pork chop, which was full of flavor and delicious, my girlfriend had the pink grouper and her fiancé had the veal dish. Everybody thoroughly enjoyed their entrées. No dessert for us since we were so full, but our waiter brought over complimentary shots of housemade orangecello. We bought a bottle of Angel's Envy bourbon and they personalized it just for my husband. Fun night! You don't need a special event to dine at Lucca, though. It's one of my favorite Italian restaurants and we dine there often. The food is very good and service is spot on. read more

Food was very good but we got a tomahawk steak and felt it was cooked unevenly. Also was not worth 250 dollars. The tableside presentation and cutting of the steak was cool. Our server Dario was amazing. His recommendations were excellent and he was extremely knowledgeable. We had eaten there before and none of the other servers told us the lemon butter sauce for the fish was not gluten free but Dario immediately let us know it had gluten in it and knew all the items on the menu inside and out read more

Food is delicious great service and wonderful ambience. Drinks was perfect as well! Will definitely come back

So we wanted to eat something that was yummy but we weren't very hungry but needed to eat, you know that feeling ? So anyways I thought pizza would be good. Well, the pizza place we liked was packed so we decided to try Lucca's since it had some good reviews. Well, the pizza dough was good but the soppressata tasted old so I didn't appreciate that. Everything else tasted okay over all. The service Itself wasn't very good because they didn't like that we just ordered a pizza and an appetizer. I understand you work on tips but the tips are based on your service not how much I eat or drink. They didn't have salt and pepper at the table which we had to ask twice for. They didn't offer any peppers or oils with the pizza. The service is fast however so that was good. Overall it was decent but not something I would try again. Also the lights are too damn low. read more

Had my daughter Sarah's wedding shower on 4/25 at Lucca's. The coordinator of the event Sonia was amazing, very professional and helpful. The wait staff who served us during the event were so attentive and very pleasant. The food was amazing! Would highly recommend Lucca's for any event! Everything was perfection! Thank you everyone at Lucca's for making my daughter's shower an amazing event! Apologies to the wait staff who gave me their names and I lost the piece of paper and I can't give a shoutout to them individually so I hope the management knows who they are and rewards them for their excellent service. Also, the room was beautiful! read more

A bit disappointed overall. On the positives the service was good and the outdoor seating area was beautiful. Negatives involved small portions and generally so so food for high prices. Fettuccine was imbalanced in flavor with way too much cheese and cream. Brodetto de pesce for its price had very little actual fish with overcooked scallops and calamari. Pasta bolognese was okay but small. Calamari appetizer was rubbery and overcooked. Just not worth the prices. Additionally for a restaurant at this level it's just really off putting to repeatedly remind you that you only have 2 hours (there were 3 of us) from start to finish. There were time reminders both on the table and when making the reservation. read more

I came here last weekend for a friend's birthday dinner, and it was such a cute spot! The restaurant had a great vibe, with a cozy dining area and seating near the bar where we ended up sitting. Our group of seven had a long table that could accommodate up to ten people, which was perfect. By 6:30/7:00 PM, the place was picking up. We started with drinks before ordering our food, but the ordering process and food service took a little longer than expected. We had other plans a couple hours after our reservation and assumed we'd have plenty of time to eat, but it took a little over an hour after being seated for our food to come out. We were left with only about 30 minutes to eat, which wasn't ideal, but we made it work. Most of the table ordered pastas, which they enjoyed. I had the burger with fries, which was delicious and just the right amount of food for me. Overall, it was a cute spot for a slightly dressed-up birthday dinner, and the ambiance made for cute pictures. read more

I'm happy to give a rare 5 stars for my experience here the other night. What tilt me over to 5 vs say 4, well Arturo who waited on me, genuinely nice, customer focus, punctual, and provided the same high level of personable service and attention to me as well as those 4-5 other tables near me! Perfect experience! I had a great specialty cocktail, Smoked Pistachios Old-fashion, and my fabulous and mouth watering Kobe burger with flavorful fries . The a classic and refreshing Italian beer to top of the night. All of that made it a very good experience. If I had to share one constructive feedback is to the lady manager who was at the hostess table and while two youngster hostess were greeting me with a smile as I asked for a table for one without reservation on a Wednesday night, and nodding their heads affirmatively, the more mature and professional manager had to play a little hard ball and slowly agreeing to giving up the small table, while several spots were obviously open. That sort of attitude turns me off. But I decided to dismiss that momentary negative vibe for a much better experience that all others created. read more

Pleasantly surprised. The table side fettuccine and bolo are great. arancini is tasty. Drinks are decent. My main knock is I've been twice and both servers I've had were a bit strange. The first woman was not very attentive, the second time the guy was kind of hot/cold with his mood each time he came to the table and he walks around the restaraunt counting his tips. I don't know if he's trying to be cool but I rarely see waiters just walking around a restaraunt counting their tips when they're super busy. End of the night closing up, sure, but not at peak 7pm dinner rush. read more

Pasta here was pretty good. All freshly made. I really enjoyed the fettuccine presentation of putting hot pasta and swishing it around in the giant cheese wheel before plating and topping off with even more cheese. The spaghetti neri was good, but doesn't displace my favorite squid ink pasta in Chicago. Pappardelle bolognese was very enjoyable and nicely flavored. My biggest complaint is we got seated what felt like an old back room, dimly lit, and away from the main/trendy dining area. Sort of had me feeling like a second class citizen to be honest. Main dining area has a completely different vibe and feel to it. Parking situation is valet or self park and make the trek to the restaurant yourself. Price point is a bit higher compared to other Italian spots in the area. Definitely put in a reservation ahead and ask to get seated in the main area would be my only reccommendation. 'Til next time, cheers! read more

Our friends and I had a great time at Lucca the other night. First time there for all of us, and the food / drinks were great. We tried a variety of their cocktails - and love their presentation. Northern Lights to Limoncino Martini to Prickly Pear Margarita. All were good. For food - we had the calamari, Risotta special with shrimp , Veal Chop, Crispy Salmon special, and the Lobster/Shrimp Ravioli. I had the risotta and loved the bit of spice on it - and the risotta was not the usual very "heavy" dish. There were a lot of nicely charred / grilled shrimp and I would get this again. Our server - Daniela - was great and attentive - always asking if we needed anything and truly giving her opinion on dishes. I hate it when servers say "everything is great." She steered us away from one dish and we're grateful for that. I would definitely go again! read more

Best Italian Restaurant in the country! Yes, I said country! Great food, service and I love that the owners are actively working and engaged with their staff and guests. Free limoncello to wow you every once in a while. Cheese wheels, Meat and cheese served on wine barrel slats, and if you go at the right time of the year Chef /owner Claudio will come table side with fresh Black Truffles! Delicious treat. My wife and I go often for date nights and when we entertain out of town guests/business acquaintances. Love - Love - LOVE this place! read more

I love this place the ambience in this place is awesome.. But do you know what makes this place better our awesome waitress Tabitha she was so sweet and attentive she knew exactly how to handle us. She gave us great recommendation's for food. And the Manager Judy she is even better. So sweet and very accommodating. So thank you Judy you and Tabitha are awesome. Ok so the food was delish, the wedge salad was to die for and it was full of of flavor, we also ordered gnocchi with veal it was succulent and very filling. The other dish that was ordered was seafood Zuppa de mare zesty and deliciousness from the ocean mussels calamari clams and crostini and the broth was very flavorful. The fig pizza was underwhelming I feel it needs more sauce it's a bit dry even though it is a fig based pizza .. so I don't know it wasn't that great. But my penne dish with scallops was so tasty and flavor it just has the perfect amount of spice. So just get that dish. Please get a orangecello shot at the end in that cute little frosted shot glasses. So do I recommend this place? yes I do !!! read more
