"Filip and Alexandria are absolutely fantastic! Couldn’t ask for a better team to guide my culinary experience here at Lucciola. They were very knowledgeable and passionate about the dishes they picked for our 9 course tasting menu. The food is tender, flavorful, creative, and exceptional. I would recommend this place a 100 times over! Treat your taste buds to some delicious food and great wine."

"Lucciola Restaurant in NYC is not just a dining spot; it’s a culinary destination. The moment you enter, you’re greeted by an ambiance that seamlessly blends sophistication with a welcoming warmth, setting the stage for an extraordinary experience.

Each course is a surprise, curated based on the freshest ingredients of the day and the chef’s creative inspiration. This innovative approach transformed our meal into an exciting adventure, as each dish unveiled was a delightful mystery, surpassing the last in taste and presentation. The handmade pasta deserves a special mention. It was a showcase of authentic Italian craftsmanship, offering a taste that was both comforting and luxurious. The balance of flavors and textures in every dish was impeccable, reflecting the high caliber of the chefs. Complementing the culinary experience was the exceptionally attentive and knowledgeable staff. Their recommendations were thoughtful, enhancing our dining experience with each course. The wine selection was also noteworthy, with a range of options that perfectly paired with the various flavors of our meal. In conclusion, Lucciola Restaurant is a treasure in NYC for anyone seeking a unique and memorable dining experience. The six-course ‘no menu’ tasting menu is a culinary delight not to be missed. It’s a place where each visit promises new flavors and lasting impressions. I’m eagerly anticipating my next visit to this wonderful gem!"

"Authenticity is the key to one of the best Italian meals I’ve had — in Italy or otherwise! A group dinner hosted by Italians from Italy. Thank you, Chef Michele for an incredible meal. The food, the presentation, the taste, the service, the wines all were world class in every way. Yet, the atmosphere is very home-like and simple. Nothing humble here and rightly so — just pros who know they’ve got their diners enthralled every step of the way. Grazie mille! And I must return!"

"We stumbled upon this restaurant while doing a google search to replace a different reservation. Wow! What a great choice we made by switching to Lucciola. My wife and I had decided to visit NY for my 50th birthday. Lucciola made the visit even more memorable. The food was just unreal, beautiful and delectable. We decided on the Chef's Choice 9 course tasting. The staff took the time to interview us about our tastes and any likes or dislikes concerning our palates. They hit the mark! Everything was superb. Thank you Lucciola and staff for a night we will never forget."

"No an expert of fine dining, and actually came here for somewhat “just Italian food” after visiting museum in a rainy day. Anelle has done an incredible job in introducing the restaurant and right after we are convinced that we shall try the no menu 9 courses and my only requirement is to surprise me and taste good. She designed the menu and gave seasonal good and something out of the menu. Overall the food is good, wine recommendation is good (Anelle described wine in a simple and easy way to help non expert understand). The meal is fulfilling. The money worth it. Services are good and they are knowledgeable in their food and ingredients. Presentation is simple but decent. 2 hours for 9 courses and the 2 hours were really enjoyable ;) thanks! If I come back in next year vacation, I hope Anelle will still be the one to help and continues to surprise us!"
