The Scene
Dimly lit and awash in romantic tones, Lucca's dining room is unquestionably one of the North End's most romantic. Hordes of regulars line the handsome mahogany bar on weekends, whereas weeknights draw couples on dates and visiting business types. Dutiful servers maintain a welcoming vibe by ensuring that wine glasses stay filled. When the weather agrees, the front windows open up onto Hanover St. allowing for cool breezes and prime people-watching.
The Food
Lucca's inviting menu merges regional Italian staples with modern European fare. This varied approach yields a roast duck, spinach and goat cheese tart sharing table space with a dish of hand-cut basil pasta tossed with a traditional Bolognese sauce. The house Caesar salad, in which red and green romaine is topped with marinated white anchovies, demonstrates the kitchen's penchant for style. Standout homemade desserts include a warm, flourless chocolate cake with vanilla bean gelato and a poached pear brulee.
