My husband and I had a wonderful dinner at Lucarellis recently. Everything was perfect...our waiter, Hunter, was personable, knowledgeable, and provided excellent service. I appreciated the pacing of our meal. We did not feel rushed as had been the case at another "highly rated" Italian eatery in downtown Venice the other night. We both enjoyed our Ceasar salads and entrees. My husband's seafood dish was delicious; my lasagna with meatball was fantastic. Generous portion of gelato and biscotti capped off a great meal. All in all a very enjoyable and relaxing dining experience!

My wife had been wanting to go here for quite some time and we finally made it. The service was very good and the food was even better. A little on the pricier side but well worth it.

This was one of our best dining experiences in years! The entire experience was outstanding. The entire wait staff was friendly and attentive, but not overbearing. The food was served timely, but we never felt rushed. We had one of their March Special Appetizers; Clams & Chorizo - hands down the BEST appetizer that we've ever had. The meals were also awesome. Their Limoncello cake was one of the best I've ever had. I considered the prices fair; especially in consideration of the quality of the food and preparation and delivery. This was the 1st restaurant since before COVID that actually boxed your leftovers instead of handing you the box to do it yourself.

We were promptly greeted and taken to our booth. Menu is "not too large, not too small". It offered enough to satisfy what both of us were looking for. Wine list is similar to menu, a nice variety of wine at reasonable prices. Wait staff is well trained. We were checked on multiple times during our meal. When we were looking for an Italian restaurant, someone used the term"hidden gem". We would concur.

Once again we had an amazing meal at Lucarelli's. From the moment we walked in we were greeted by happy professional staff. Our server Lauren was excellent - professional, kind and quickly delivered every item we asked for. Our food was piping hot, displayed beautifully and delicious. Our leftovers were plated into boxes in front of us. Brian, the manager came to check on our experience and was both kind and professional. I highly recommend Lucarelli's. This was our second visit and we will definitely go again.

Excellent service and food. Was there with a group of veteran Submariners during a small 50-year reunion. It was last minute, but they didn't skip a beat. We're not an easy group to please.

Tri Color saladcwas excellent and big enough to share. Both pasta entrees were quite good .. Sunday every day and mixed seafood. Also very generous. We wish they could bring back to “Original” veal chops from 3 or 4 years ago.

I heard this place may close soon. The place is over priced and they under deliver. I would avoid this place and won't go back.

Hadn't been to Lucarelli's Restaurant since we moved down here a number of years ago. It was GREAT. As it was my wife's 70th birthday, I wanted to go somewhere where I knew we'd have a great meal and service and it was "spot on". Staff was wonderful and attentive; food was devine and we could actually have a conversation without yelling which is rare down here at this time of the year. The snowbird crowd can be a challenge. Conversation with my bride of almost 45 years is important to both of us. I challenge anyone to try Lucarelli's and find something not right.

It was our first visit to the restaurant and it was a great experience overall. All staff were pleasant and friendly. Our bruschetta appetizer was delicious and spicy. My husband ordered the Salmon with risotto side and said it was excellent. My chicken Marsala was flavorful- rigatoni side dish with oil sauce was a little bland- needed some spice added to it. Bread basket was enjoyable. We were celebrating our February birthdays and staff surprised each of us with a delicious cannoli dessert as well as a birthday card. We will return to this restaurant in the future.
