Lucca Italian Chophouse

Leslie took very good care of my wife and I as usual. Salad was fresh and crisp. Bread was hot with a nice side of marinara. Peroni came out quickly at around 33. Entrees were perfectly cooked. We frequent this restaurant for a reason and are always reminded why.

Used Google review to find this restaurant and it was a gem. The food was delicious, menu had great variety of food for all budgets and taste buds. The serving sizes were large and most entrees come with a salad. We went to an early dinner at 5:30 . By the time we left they were full with people waiting...

Ask for Todd he is the best!! The food is amazing best meal I have ever had near Holden beach.

Great local family owned restaurant with tasty food. Friendly service from Maura. Nice list of fine wine. You can even get a bottle of Opus One. Free salad with every entree. Plenty of free parking outside.

Daniel was our server. He knew the menu. It was not crowded on a Sunday afternoon, so he spent a lot of time explaining the homemade items, which was much appreciated. We ordered caesar salad, Tortellini Michelangelo, and Ravioli Caprese. Soooo good that we went back 2 days later and had pizza. Also A

Being from New York I am always skeptical about trying Italian out of state. However, this place is fantastic. Our waitress Jackie was a sweetheart. She was very busy but still made sure our drinks were never empty and when you got done to 1/4 she was there with a refill. She constantly checked on us to ensure we were happy and really went out of her way to ensure we had a great dinner. For appetizers we ordered the Frito Misto, which was good however I feel the calamari was lacking with how paper thin it was. We also ordered Arancini which was a table favorite, fried mozzarella because you can never go wrong with fried cheese and mussels marinara. The mussels were a bit fishy in taste which I did not love but I assume they were warm water and not cold water mussels. As for dinner, the ribeye is absolutely delicious. Super tender easy enough to cut with a butter knife. The bone in pork chop was absolutely delicious, in a Marsala style sauce. The egg plant lasagna is massive and must have 12 pieces of eggplant stacked beautifully, with great flavor, however a bit tricky to eat because of the overload of sauce. Friends of mine also had the lobster ravioli which they loved and the chicken Marsala. The pasta is delicious, made in the restaurant you can instantly tell it is not a boxed pasta from a supermarket. You really can’t go wrong here. The food is very good and the service Jackie provided was fantastic. Make sure to book a reservation otherwise you may have to wait.

Been saying ..got to try there. Well this evening was the time. Atmosphere was really light with a couple at the bar and a few tables occupied. Service was quick and attentive. I got the Bolognese which came with a salad. I chose the Ceasars. The salad was spot on. Great taste with fresh ingredients. Only thing I missed was I forgot to pepper it. My main was very good with flat noodles that were great. The sauce was very tasty and went well with the noodles. Drink was tea and it hit the sweet not sweet middle. We got table bread forgot their name for it. It also hit the top and was very good. Our other dish was lasagna and it also was very high in taste and a large portion. The other salad was a garden salad and very good. We plan on another trip to try more

Food and service was great, but we left when we got our entree. It was our anniversary dinner and we wanted to go somewhere that was quiet and had a different atmosphere than other restaurants in town. There was a lady beside us in another nooth who loud and obnoxious voice could have woke up an Army. I don't think she took a breath the whole time we were there. So we spent 140 dollars for basically a to go order. Thanks lady for ruining our meal.......
