Luci Ancora

My girlfriend took me here for our first Vday together. If it wasn’t for our love our day would’ve ended in ruin!! We couldn’t help but feel slightly offended by being offered separate checks as we were the only, very obviously, lesbian couple. When asked if we had any questions or concerns regarding the menu we said “ yes! What vegetarian options do you offer?” Specifically to the main course. All options were either red meat, shellfish, etc. She told us that they crafted the menu with these things in mind. I asked, “could i get the side of bell pepper salad with no rack of lamb?” i was told they would not be able to accommodate. booo whatever we ordered anyway every course was literally so small like i know it’s a tasting, but seriously? $92 before tax + gratuity for maybe 20 bites???

Surprise!! That's what we said on our first visit to the Restaurant. With 35 years of experience as a Chef I don't often eat at Restaurants. Tonight we enjoyed a delightful Italian meal with salad and pasta. Coffee and dessert were a great finish to our meal. Give it a try!!

$$$ white table cloth dining experience. Locally Italian family owned a gem in the St Kate U area. Reservation recommended.

Truly, best family owned place in St. Paul. People working here are not just " nice" but they know how to create an atmosphere of genuine care for customers and proven to be a solid team that holds themselves to the highest standards of authentic italian homemade cuisine. Visit Luci Ancora and you will find here the most delicious experience at a reasonable price. Ora I.

Stumbled upon this place by pure coincidence and we are so glad we did. The food was amazing and it’s a perfect spot for a date night or just grabbing a nicer dinner with friends. My date got the daily 4 course tasting meal and I got pasta and Caesar salad and every bite of food that we had was amazing. Our server was also so kind and funny!! We had a wonderful experience and will definitely be coming back.
