First time at this restaurant, a young lady hostess greeted us, and we were seated quickly. The place seemed very quiet, with a small bar. Our server was pleasant and went over the specials which we passed on. We ordered some drinks, apps, and two main dishes, which were just OK and not worth the price or second chance.

My dish was seafood in a sundried tomato sauce. It had no flavor, and in the end, the sauce was the consistency of soup. My wife had Bolognese she took a few bites, and that was it. She was, let’s say, extremely disappointed. The app. was the antipasti, good choices of salumi, and toasted bread, but one of the cheeses looked like cubed cheddar from the supermarket and no Parmigiano Regiano.

We celebrated my husbands birthday at Lucarelli’s. It was an outstanding experience. We had reservations and were taken immediately. The waitstaff was so friendly and attentive. The selection of breads were delicious.We had the Caprese appetizer. I had the seafood risotto which was the best I’ve ever had. Full of an array of fresh seafood. My husband had the Seafood alla Vodka. It was fantastic. We had a delicious cannoli for dessert. I highly recommend Lucarelli’s and we will be going again very soon.

We found this spot using Google. Was in town and wanted some pasta. When I arrived I saw it was by reservations. Since I didn’t see reservations online I wasn’t aware. Thankfully the waitress who saw us told us that the table outside was available. I went inside and asked the host. She was kind as well and with a smile she said yes. They quickly set the table outside for us to eat. The service is top notch. The appetizers were tasteful. The main dish was just as I requested. I thank them because they created something for me that wasn’t really on the menu. They made my night! The dessert didn’t fail me either.

I wanted to thank the staff & owners of Lucarelli’s for a wonderful dinner in support of the Venice Boys Varsity Golf team. The meal was setup buffet style with trays of lasagna, ziti, meatballs & sausage, caesar salad along with garlic knots. Everything was delicious & the staff went above & beyond to accommodate.

My wife and I love the quaint Family atmosphere! We enjoy seeing the great teamwork from the staff. It seems like their fun attitude is contagious and we always leave happier. Shout out to the great clean up crew that always boxes up our food and laughs at my jokes..

Absolutely the best Italian restaurant in the US! The Lasagna is outta this world! It’s the best since I was in Italy. The cheese in the lasagna is light and delicious! Nothing is heavy, even the Bruschetta is flavorful and authentic. Wow is all I can say. My new favorite restaurant and the waitress, Hailey, ordered for us! If you want to experience an authentic Italian meal without jet lag, find this restaurant!

We each had a wonderful dinner at Lucarelli’s this evening. The eggplant was phenomenal and the Gnocchi delish. Service was excellent and the atmosphere Italian. We will be back again to try other menu items. Thank you for a lovely evening Lucarelli’s.

its because it’s Florida: worst Italian food I’ve ever had, period. Veal piccata was breaded and deep fried with a gravy. I took one bite and GROSS. Where are the artichokes lemon wine buttery sauce not to be found. The pasta was swimming with water! The muscles undercooked with no garlic in the mixture and that was Luke warm. Mashed Potatoes where a salt lick a horse would love and the steak was raw, cold in the middle. The GM, bartender asked if there’s anything wrong while looking at all the untouched food….. yeah think !!! We left the food, paid for it and still left 20%. Oh yeah, the service offers a weird deal that feels like they are selling u used car. …
