★★★★★ 5.0 mejrima imsirovic · Feb 2026

This place is consistent and delicious, the people who work here are always so friendly. If you want a delicious 4 course meal with the best pasta in dsm, this is the place to go. The scallops are always perfectly cooked too.

★★★★★ 5.0 Yan Chen · Aug 2025

Great food, generous portions, and efficient order design keeps waiting times short. The restaurant is clean and modern, but what stands out most is the exceptional service. The owner is hands-on, working as a waiter and greeting every guest personally. He’s always smiling, attentive, and cares about everyone’s experience. You can really feel how much he values his customers and his business.

★★★★★ 5.0 Vas Shebarshov · Mar 2024

We were here on a Friday night with a group of 8. We had a reservation and we were seated immediately. The owner stopped by and said hello before our waiter even got there. The service was great the whole evening, our waiter knew exactly when to come back and when to let us be and just enjoy the dinner. The food was great, it was a 4 course fixed price menu. Everything was delicious and the portions were just right. The brick walls add to the already great atmosphere. The restaurant was great and we will definitely be back in the future!

★★★★★ 5.0 Ojas Gokhale · Feb 2022

Excellent four course fixed menu. Everything we ordered was great. What set the experience apart was the impeccable service. The ambiance is very minimalist and modern - loved it. The pastas were our favorite part of the meal and we loved that all portions were right, not excessive.. so you could eat and actually enjoy the meal and not feel overstuffed.

Why can't I give 6 stars?! Lucca has such a nice vibe and wonderful staff. The owner is absolutely in command of his ship and takes the time to speak with all of his guests. The rest of the staff are friendly and attentive. Our lunch was tasty, clean, and such a great value! Fresh baked bread and a sandwich that packed flavor in every bite. The ceasar salad I had was fantastic as well. Nothing overpowering, just a perfect blend of ingredients. Absolutely recommend!!
