We had a great time at Lucca North End for a festive holiday dinner with friends. The restaurant has a cozy yet lively atmosphere. They were accommodating in making everyone's order meet their dietary needs. They even made a nice mocktail for my friend who wasn't drinking. I had the Fettuccine, which was very tasty. Nice staff all around.

food was excellent, service was fully adequate...but the noise level destroyed the dining experience. i i suggest you go elsewhere if you plan talking (vs. yelling) to your dinner companion. worse than most Friday night bars at midnight.

3 meat Meatballs with Ricotta was really good. Bolognese was tasty and filling. The Braised Chicken with Pesto was our favorite, Full of Flavor. Stag's Leap Petite Syrah was great.

We arrived a bit early for our reservation, and unfortunately there was a game at the Garden. The North End and the restaurant were both very crowded. No place to wait, so we walked around a bit. We were seated close to our reservation and our waitress was great. Informative, helpful and pleasant. We shared a nice salad of prosciutto, arugula, orange and peppers on a board. Excellent dish. The focaccia was served with a colorful, but not very flavorful pesto. The bread was quite salty. We ordered pasta with wild boar ragu - very well done -and beef tenderloin which again was overly salted. Good service, nice table, good food that would have been great with a lighter seasoning touch.

The staff is exceptional! Very professional. The manager, Matt, looked after my wife and made sure she was comfortable at the bar while I worked to find parking nearby. Held our table as I was a little late for reservation. Overall...Lucca will be our "go to" for North End restaurants. Just an overall fabulous experience.
