I cannot believe the quality of the food compared to the price. A great meal for $10/entree, but a well below average meal for $20/entree. I had a shrimp and sausage pasta with a marinara sauce, and all of the components of the sauce were disappointing. I have been there two or three times and have been sorely disappointed each... more

Nice Atmosphere and good choice of salads, but there is not much of a choice for entrees and the wine menu is also very limited. Prices are a bit high, but the quality of our food seemed excellent. more

Although reservations can't be made...and our group was to reach 6....we wandered in one at a time on a recent Friday evening -- and the staff made us feel special (and not rushed). We wanted to enjoy our cocktails first and gab (which we did) and then we ordered a few apps for the table. They were superb - the... more

I come to New London on business quite often. On this night I happened to bring my family. I will not make that mistake in the future. thumbs... more

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. more

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... more

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. more
