Lucca Steakhouse — Attraction in Amman

My first review ever. Came here on a recommendation from a friend, without a reservation, they sat me immediately without any issue. Ordered the tomahawk medium rare. Meal starts with a pretzel type appetizer with olive mince/olive oil which was outstanding. They wheel out a cart and Mohammad cooks the most beautifully marbled piece of unicorn I have ever seen to absolute perfection. It says a lot about the staff that only one of the many waiters in the area was unable to control the look on his face as I took my first bite, then tore into the steak with an urgency unbecoming of a fine dining establishment, admittedly my appearance while eating would have been more appropriate of Ghandi when the British threw in the towel. Most were able to ignore the moaning sounds I was making. The flavor was indescribable, and I will now attempt to describe. I normally only eat the fat sparingly but, the fat had soaked up the magical flavors of the rosemary, cherry tomatoes, pink salt and whatever crack they mixed into the sizzling pan as Mo cooked the meat. It never stood a chance as I used the fat like bread in a sandwich. The meat itself, I hate to use the axiom, but actually did melt in the mouth like butter (I copped out I know). The tomahawk has enough meat to comfortably feed two, would I have had someone with me and planned to share, I would have broken that treaty in the most piratical manner possible. The baked potato was unremarkable only because the steak was so good. The chicken balls were life changing. Mini Katmer was barely finished. My diet of 6 months is ruined in one night....

Lucca Steakhouse in Amman offers a distinctive dining experience that blends American, Turkish, and Jordanian influences, with a strong focus on premium meats. The restaurant delivers both in flavor and presentation, making it a standout destination for meat lovers.

I had the pleasure of trying several dishes, starting with the Ribeye Steak, cooked medium to well-done. It was perfectly prepared—tender, juicy, and rich in flavor. The Lokum (Beef Tenderloin) was equally impressive, offering a melt-in-your-mouth texture that showcased the quality of the meat.

The Asado Short Ribs had a generous marbling of fat, which added richness, although it may be a bit too fatty for some tastes. The Cheese-Stuffed Kebab was another highlight—well-seasoned with a creamy, savory center that balanced nicely with the grilled meat.

For salads, I opted for the Lucca Famous Salad with smoked beef and cheese. It was fresh, flavorful, and complemented the heavier meat dishes well. I also appreciated the Simit Bread Appetizer, served warm with olives and olive oil—a simple yet authentic and satisfying start to the meal.

Overall, Lucca Steakhouse impressed me with its variety, quality, and fusion of culinary styles. It’s a great choice for those looking to enjoy high-quality meats in a refined yet...

We ordered a variety of dishes, but the star of the evening was definitely the steak. Cooked exactly to our preferences, the meat was tender, juicy, and full of rich, smoky flavor. You can tell they take great care in sourcing high-quality cuts and preparing them with skill. The sides and starters were also delicious—especially the grilled vegetables and the house-made sauces that perfectly complemented the meat.

Service was another highlight. The staff was knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive without ever being intrusive. They made sure we had everything we needed and were happy to recommend wine pairings and guide us through the menu.
