The wine list is Italian-focused and well-curated. The room is warm and intimate without being fussy. Furthermore, regulars return every trip and the tables fill quickly on weekends. The service is knowledgeable without being pretentious.
What to Order at Lucca Trattoria
Start with the burrata or the beef carpaccio. For pasta, the cacio e pepe and the tagliatelle al ragù are outstanding. For example, the wood-fired branzino is excellent as a lighter main. The tiramisu is made in-house to a proper recipe. Lucca does not cut corners.
Tips for Your Visit
Book in advance — especially Friday and Saturday. Request an indoor corner table for the most intimate experience. However, the restaurant is on the main Palm Beach strip. It is walkable from most hotels in the area.
