Lucciola التقييمات

Once in a while you meet a culinary artisan. This restaurant is what I've wished for in NYC. I've been to many Michelin star restaurants in Italy, and I appreciate the excellence that Lucciola brings to the city. Thank you for sharing your talents with us. I'll be back and back and back.

Anelle was awesome! Food was great and the service was exceptional. 10/10.

Anelle was amazing. The food was delicious. Highly recommend. It’s like eating at a top Restaurant in Bologna.

Great food and interesting flavors. Only option for vegetarians is 5+ courses starting I think just under $200 - I definitely could’ve eaten more. I didn’t make the reservation so I didn’t know this was a wine cellar - it’s extremely dry inside which was physically irritating.

Without a question one of the best restaurants in NYC! Absolutely flawless experience with delicious food and super friendly and professional service! Will definitely be back!

Lucciola the best Restaurant ever, is a Hidden Gem on the Upper West Side That Redefines Dining Excellence ! Stepping into Lucciola NYC feels like entering a world where passion, precision, and artistry converge to create an unforgettable culinary experience. Tucked away in the heart of the Upper West Side, this intimate 20-seat haven is not just a restaurant—it’s a celebration of flavors, hospitality, and innovation. From the moment you’re greeted by the warm and professional Alexandra, the Maitre D’, you know you’re in for something extraordinary. Her ability to make each guest feel uniquely valued sets the tone for the evening.

Behind the scenes, Dario, Fabio, and Susy work tirelessly, infusing each dish with artistry and precision. Their attention to detail is evident in every bite, where textures and flavors blend to perfection. The wine program, curated by Alberto Ghezzi, elevates the entire experience. With over 1,350 labels to choose from, Alberto’s pairings are nothing short of brilliant. Each glass complements the dishes flawlessly, offering an added layer of depth to the meal. Whether it’s a crisp white to enhance a seafood course or a bold red to match a rich, truffle-infused pasta, his selections bring out the best in every bite. What makes Lucciola truly stand out is the attention to detail and the passion that permeates every aspect of the experience. The combination of world-class food, impeccable service, and expertly paired wines creates a dining event that is both intimate and unforgettable.

It’s more than a meal—it’s a memory waiting to be made. Run, don’t walk, to Lucciola NYC. This is dining reimagined, and it’s happening right here on the Upper West Side.

From the minute I saw the twinkle lights outside, I knew this was going to be a special evening. They did NOT disappoint. I felt like we were dining at a friend's home... in their wine cellar. The service was stupendous! The front of the house was as knowledgeable about the food as the chefs, and our dining experience was tailored to our likes and desires based on what was available. Every single dish was INCREDIBLE, and each dish was built on the previous one. We had 7 courses, so the dish sizes were perfect. I will return to have another experience, which will be delightfully different from the first. That's truly the beauty of this restaurant.

I had a wonderful evening at Lucciola with my colleague. We had the chefs curated tasting menu which was fun, exciting and delicious. The service was also really personable. Philip and Alexandria made us feel like family. The fact that the chefs menu always different makes us want to come back and visit soon. You can taste the quality in all of the ingredients.

Had dinner at Lucciola's on a Saturday night and it was phenomenal. Table of 3 and we were served by Phillip and Anelle, who were an absolute pleasure! We had the 6 course Emilia Romagna and every single dish was rated 10/10 by each of us. Anelle and Phillip definitely hit the spot with their recommendations and they were so lovely to stop and chat with us many times during our dinner at Lucciola. We will definitely be back soon! Thank you for an amazing experience!

Wonderful! Especially the service of Filip and Alexandra

Update: 3rd time coming back, certainly won’t be the last! Philip was amazing, always a wonderful experience - - - Alex and Julia were fantastic! Such a wonderful, effortless, seamless experience. Will 10/10 come back

Best Italian in town. Recommend the 12 courses Gracious service by all staff. The manager knows you by name after one visit. Ask for wine recommendation and the wine director will always find something affordable.

Anelle was amazing! She paired everything perfectly! And was extremely knowledgeable of the wines! Food was delicious!

Anelle was an absolute pleasure! We had no reservations and were received with warmth and kindness. We left the food and wine choice in their hands and were thrilled with the results. Intimate space, romantic, clean, quiet (amazing playlist). Recommend coming and asking for Anelle for the full experience.

Qualità assoluta delle materie prime cucinate come si deve, grande equilibrio degli accostamenti e sapori riconoscibili . La piacevolezza del servizio ha reso la serata indimenticabile, grande attenzione anche alle richieste un po' speciali. Consigliatissimo!

Came for our wedding anniversary. Very intimate setting. Staff was accommodating, kind and personable. We were taken care by Anelle. She was great. Very knowledgeable. Broke down eat dish and explained the menu very well. We had the 6 course Emilia Romagna tasting menu. The quality was great. Fresh ingredients. Very tasteful. Fair sized portions over the entire courses. Definitely an experience. Had an old fashioned with my tasting. Well done. I would recommend trying this place out for a good time and experience.

One of the best Italian restaurants in NY
