My experience at Lucca's both, when it was in it's old location in the Carriage House and now, in Downtown Walking Mall has been worth every penny. The food is wonderful, well presented and amazingly fresh. While they have fewer items on their menu than AppleBees, their very accommodating and you can view their menu before you go. The menu... more

The new location on the Walking Mall is outstanding, More room, great ambiance, very upscale! The food is delicious, and the wine selection excellent. I ate there twice last week - had the lasagna one night, which was absolutely excellent, and a shrimp pasta that is to die for!! (My new favorite dish!!) The salad is served family style, and... more

Lucas has always been a favorite of mine but we never planned ahead enough to get a table in their former location. Their new location on the downtown walking mall is great. You can pull up in front of the restaurant and let your guests out of the car then drive right into the Medical Arts Parking garage across the... more

Waitress was more interested in keeping wine glasses full instead of water. Cramped seating and decent ambiance. Had nothing to drink midway through the meal, but my guests from out of town had all the wine they could muster. Received heart burn from the food. Beware this restaurant doesn't offer much of a selection or vegetarian dishes. My guests loved... more

My wife and I both love Lucca's. The menu changes seasonally, features many local touches, and there are always a couple of interesting specials. The wine list is well thought out, with a good range of prices, and you can count on friendly informed advice. The staff is professional but friendly, and you are welcome whether you are in jeans... more

We had dinner at Lucca’s based on the other reviews and high rating in TripAdvisor and we were not disappointed. We were staying in Helena for a weekend get away to celebrate a birthday and enjoy a special dinner out. At Lucca’s we found a cozy atmosphere, wonderfully attentive service, and great food and wine. This was certainly one of... more

If you love excellent food and great service, this is the place! Their Scallopes are fresh and and eaten with delight. The Steak is to die for and always cooked to perfection. Lucca's is our choice for any special occasion. Yes, it's spendy, but worth every dollar. The service is personal and knowledgeable. My husband and I highly recommend Lucca's more

I've only been to Lucca's once and wasn't terribly impressed. The food was expensive and really didn't offer many choices that suit my palate. Part of the problem is I'm vegetarian and they didn't offer many vegetarian entrees. I want to say my husband had spaghetti and meatballs and he seemed quite pleased with it. I think if you are... more

While I genuinely appreciate feedback from our valued guests, I must question this review. We currently do not, nor have we ever, served anything resembling spaghetti and meatballs. We do enjoy a loyal following of vegetarians and people with Celiac's. Because of the intimate environment, and dedication to cooking fresh, most people with dietary concerns or restrictions have been pleased...

Friendly!

So glad we checked Trip Advisor and found this place. It's not too easy to find mind you. I had to call for directions and then ask a local as I had driven right past it. Look for an unlit yellow sign on the north side of the street. It's 100 ft back down the side street. The service was... more

We went to Lucca's after reading the reviews. It was incredibly good! The food was perfect as was the service. It is a little out of the way and the building is actually an old house converted into a restuarant but it is one of the best italian restuarants I have ever been to. more
