Our server Jon A made our first visit here wonderful. He was so knowledgeable about all the dishes and the drinks! He made us feel welcome. The food was out of this world wonderful! Definitely try their swordfish and lasagna! But save room for that lemon brueled tart with blueberry sauce. The cocktails were a hit. As well as the risotto balls that we feel were the best we ever had. You absolutely must make a reservation or you won’t get in. The place is packed. But with this wonderful overall experience we can see why!

We had a wonderful lunch today at Tucci including a glass of wine, delicious flatbreads and a salad. I always feel like I’m on vacation in the beautiful four seasons patio! It is gorgeous even on a frigid winter day! Alli does a fabulous job running the show and always checks in with guests to see how their dining experience is going. She does this with a welcoming smile! I have always had the best experience with the wait staff as well! Can’t wait to go back!
