Best Authentic Restaurants in Trenton

We reserved for the Saturday after Valentine's Day. They had a reduced menu along with a set Valentine's Day menu. We ended up ordering from both. My daughter had the enormous Pork Chop Parmagian with pasta. I had 20 ounce Rib Eye with mashed potatoes and grill vegetables. Both were very good and huge portions. I had Fried Calamari that was part of my Valentine menu. It was big enough to share with my daughter. My wife had veal picatta from the Valentine menu and had the beet salad. She was very pleased with her order even it didnt have the portions my daughter and I had. The food was very good. We all tried a little of each. The service was friendly and on point. Definitely thumbs up and returning again.

Our Valentine dinner at Lucca was absolutely exceptional! After enjoying perfect Manhattans by the bartender, Sean, at the gorgeous bar, we opted to have dinner in the piano lounge which was bustling and romantic accompanied by beautiful music throughout our evening. We had the amazing cacio e pepe, prepared tableside, and fantastic grilled octopus for starters. The rack of lamb was tender, perfectly medium rare, as ordered, and so delicious with red wine reduction, and, the wild dover sole in lemon sauce, filleted tableside, was superb! We finished the evening off with a to-die-for pear tart which was so so good! We enjoyed our chat with William Burris, Managing Partner, who was on hand to greet all of his customers and made us feel special. This was my third visit to Lucca and each time has been an incredible experience. We feel so fortunate to have such an amazing dining experience so close to home.

This is our go to restaurant - quality ingredients - fresh tasting creations. The house salad is one of our favorites and the specials are always very different - there’s always something new to try every time we go there !

Went here for Valentines Day with my wife. We did the 3 part course. It was really incredible. Our server Jake was great, answered all of our questions and was just extremely pleasant, and he was busy making sure he reached out to everyone. So it was great to see someone always checking in and making sure everything was good. The rest of the staff was very attentive, polite and really made sure the experience was wonderful. The prices were great and the food was incredible. Especially the mashed potatoes….awwweeesome!

A variety of food and beverage choices, ample portions but not too large, and very tastefully prepared dishes. The veal parmesan was outstanding and it's aptly called the "World's Best". All staff are friendly, courteous and attentive. Thank you for delightful and satisfying food, service and ambience. Exceeded expectations. Will definitely be returning.
