A Perfect Place to Celebrate ALL of Life’s Special Occasions… We have a rule in our house that each Birthday must be celebrated at a new spot. We hadn’t tried Lucca since the new owners took over, so I made our reservation for my Husband’s BIG birthday there. When we walked in, we were greeted and seated right away—at a sweet cozy table right by the beautiful piano. Anna was our server—she was amazing and attentive without being overbearing. She told us the specials right away and indicated that there were only two of the ribeyes left so let her know if we wanted them—we did! We started with the peppers in oil—a generous helping and the bread kept coming. They had a bit of a kick to them, but it wasn’t overwhelming. My husband tried the Cherry Bourbon Manhattan and was duly impressed with the combination of flavors. I think I literally exclaimed when our steaks arrived. Cooked perfectly and topped with Blue cheese and Bacon (I am always ALL in for that) served over a delicious smashed potato with just a touch of sweetness to set off the savory of the steak and toppers, pulled together with fresh asparagus. It was a delight for ALL of the senses. The dessert was just right and just enough to share. Overall the atmosphere was just what we were looking for and the food was out of this world. We were delighted with our visit! When I posted the pictures of the food on my socials, one of my friends said, “That’s what I’m having for my next birthday!” We might have to break our rule because I agree—I’m looking forward to going back to Lucca for our next special occasion (or even a regular Tuesday).

We have been here a couple of times since the new owner bought this restaurant. In my opinion, it's definitely in the top two or three restaurants in the Canton area. The atmosphere is top-notch. It is classy, clean, just the right amount of light you couldn't ask for better ambiance for a nice dinner out. Most people dress on the nicer side. You won't feel overdressed in a sports coat, but you can certainly get away with nice jeans and a sweater. The wine list is nice and varied enough for any pairing without being extensive or intimidating. Full bar and full coffee service, so whether you're a cocktail before the meal type or espresso after type, you're covered. The food is top-notch. You won't find much better unless you travel to a larger city like Cleveland. The menu is varied enough to suit most palettes. You will find something that wows you no matter your taste. The desert selection changes frequently and is the perfect portion for most appetites. The price is very on par with similar places of this caliber around the area. You can certainly spend more at a couple of places, only a couple blocks away. Put Lucca's on your must try list. You will not be sorry.

An upscale environment with a bit of an older crowd. There was a talented pianist which was a perfect touch for the atmosphere. The food though ... refined and delectable. Everything is made from scratch. We started with a sausage flatbread that had just the right amount of heat hidden in the cherry peppers. We had the elk with bleu cheese risotto special - and it was SPECIAL. The risotto was strongly flavored to pair with the oh-so-tender likings of the elk. They even treated you to the bone marrow, which was incredible on the bread served to the table. We also had butternut squash cappelletti. It was one of, if not THE best pasta dishes I’ve had. It was heavy, with a sweet undertone. We capped dinner off with a strawberry bomb - thin brownie topped with strawberry mousse covered in a hard ganache shell. We’ll be back!
