What a great restaurant! The food was exquisite. They have a fixed price menu and all four courses + desert we tried were absolutely delicious. Service was great and non-intrusive. Overall excellent food and value!

We dined at Lucca on Valentines day and what I took away from the dinner was the Salmon dish was a star- everything else was average. The 45 price for a 3 course meal was not a help.

This is a wonderful restaurant. It has a fixed price with a select menu. Food is wonderful. I had a visitor from California who raved about it after our visit!

Lucca is a local gem. The atmosphere is quiet—simple yet elegant—and lets the food truly shine. Lucca offers a Prix-Fixe menu each night, and all of the choices are fresh and delicious. We've never had a bad meal. Definitely one of the top five restaurants in Des Moines.

Cucumber and avocado salad was well-balanced,... More

This restaurant was the best addition to Des Moines! Every time I go I feel like I am back in Chicago. The menu is simple and the food is delicious. I have never had bad service or a bad meal. The hardest part is picking what to order. It is great for a romantic dinner, girls night out, parties or... More
