My husband and I went to this restaurant with friends based on the recommendation of another friend. The restaurant is small, but it was cozy and contemporary all at the same time. The menu at this lovely restaurant always changes based on what local, fresh ingredients the chef can procure. The meal was excellent and well-paced. We arrived at the restaurant about six o'clock and were seated immediately; however, by eight o'clock, the restaurant was full. My husband and our friend were delighted when the owner of the restaurant wanted to show them how he was able to serve Guiness on draft without the beer keg. Our friend, who is from Ireland, agreed that this was the best Guiness he had since leaving Ireland. We all enjoyed the meal and plan to return soon.

This is a great new spot. We've been twice - first time was AMAZING, second time was not as good, but still a great time. The lobster bisque is TO DIE FOR.

Had an opportunity one day this past summer to stop by Lucca on Bank Street in downtown New London and I will tell you... WOW! The lobster avacado salad made from fresh local lobster, vegetables from the local
farmers market and friendly service made this one of my favorites.

I have tried on two other occassions to dine at Lucca since but they were full! Which is not upsetting as it means a boost for the local dining scene!

Keep it up!

I have had excellent food here, unfortunately, one time I went back for the out of this world lobster bisque and a different chef prepared it - just average the second time.
