Lucca Taverna

“Me and my husband had a wonderful time at this restaurant for our anniversary. We sat at the bar because we didn't realize it was the kind of place you did reservations. I was so impressed by the quality of food and the balance of all the flavors. The prices were not bad for the quality and presentation I felt like I was at a Michelin star restaurant. You could definitely spend less than 50 to $60 a person but we got appetizers, drinks and the whole nine yards. Bartender was amazing and so kind, the cocktails were the best I've had. I really enjoyed the lemon drop especially! The atmosphere is fancy without feeling pretentious. We felt so comfortable and so satisfied at the end of our meal. This is the best restaurant I've been to ever!”

“Carbonara was 10/10, crispy potatoes were 10/10, deviled eggs were good, and the grilled octopus was good too. I’m not a huge hummus person, so next time I’d probably order it without if that’s possible? The best thing was the crispy potatoes. They don’t look like much, but every bite was better than the last. Perfectly crispy, soft in the middle, non greasy, and sauce and cheese it comes with is addictive. Trust me. I also had a sparkling tea which was very glamorous and delicious. Service was fast, friendly, helpful. Atmosphere was very nice, I felt like I was transported somewhere more exotic than Corvallis. Dreaming about when I can go back and get another bowl of those potatoes!!!”

“The food was amazing ! Portions were a little small, but since we are only here for a few days we didn’t want leftovers anyway. I’m forgetting the name of it but the citrus salad was to die for! The pasta was just okay, the breadcrumbs were kinda soggy but the salad and tiramisu made up for it. At the time, there was a local band playing which made the restaurant quite noisy, especially with how busy it was. Personally, I am a fan of that kind of vibe but if you aren’t I would avoid this place on band nights.”

“Cute place for group or couple’s date night. Dinner is served tapas style. Items come out pretty fast, as they are ready. You could opted to have the server service them “course” style, which we did, but it still comes out a bit too fast for us, as the table was getting over filled and running out of table space. Would recommend, but next time, we’ll order only a couple dishes as we go and opt to maybe add more if needed, instead of placing all the dishes order all at once.”

“I don’t know why Lucca doesn’t have 5 stars! This is definitely some of the best food and drinks I’ve had in the area. They recommend family style, which I love, but you can order your own meals as well. Cocktails are great and it’s really cute inside!”
