The flavors of the food were absolutely sensational, I can't wait to go back! Pictured: Gamberi shrimp, Ravioli (special) with Rosemary Browned butter sauce, Fettuccine with braised short ribs, flourless Chocolate Cake with red wine caramel.

Amazing authentic Italian food! Went here on a Thursday evening and had no issue getting a nice table outside. Our waitress Bridgette was amazing, very knowledgeable about the menu and items. She ensured my pesto was made just how I like it! Would eat here again, and again! The Cesar salad was phenomenal.

This is my boyfriend and I’s favorite restaurant. We love what they did, decor wise, with the space they have. We also have been here multiple times over the past year and a half and we’ve received the same incredible service and delicious food every single time. Every person who works here is so kind. My favorite things to order are the caesar salad and the mushroom fettuccine. I always get different desserts and appetizers and each one I try I love. This restaurant is the best, you definitely can’t skip this one!

Stumbled upon this place by pure coincidence and we are so glad we did. The food was amazing and it’s a perfect spot for a date night or just grabbing a nicer dinner with friends. My date got the daily 4 course tasting meal and I got pasta and Caesar salad and every bite of food that we had was amazing. Our server was also so kind and funny!! We had a wonderful experience and will definitely be coming back.

My husband and I have driven past Luci Ancora many times and always thought we should go sometime. We finally went tonight and what a treat it was to dine there! Our server was amazing the entire time and made the evening that much more special. We devoured every morsel and drop that was put in front of us, enjoying every dish we chose! We highly recommend going, and we will definitely be back. PS the vanilla creme brulee was a revelation! 😉👍👍👍

I have lived near this restaurant for about a year. Because of the lack of signage, I at first didn’t even know that a restaurant existed there - it wasn’t until I saw customers eating on the patio during the nice weather that I realized it was a restaurant at all. This is a total hidden gem in every way. The service is outstanding and helpful without being overwhelming, and the atmosphere feels as though you’ve somehow entered a real Italian corner filled with delicious smells and happy sounds. The freshly made pasta was absolutely scrumptious, made with clean and fresh meats and vegetables, cheeses and butter, wonderfully flavored and well-portioned. Do not skip dessert, do not fail to try the warm bread, and order a bottle of wine to enjoy the evening. I highly recommend the patio on a pleasant evening. I would just like to personally share that this restaurant will always hold a special place in my heart from this day on, because it was a part of an uncommonly incredible evening I was able to share with my fiancé, and my mother - who lives out of the country and isn’t able to be here with us often. While there are many places you can spend an outrageous amount of money nowadays and walk away dissatisfied, this is not one of those places. While not being “cheap”, it is reasonable and worth the cost. While it is difficult to make a definitive promise from simply one visit, I can say as confidently as is possible that you should not hesitate to make a reservation and see for yourself.

We had a fabulous time eating dinner here. It’s a tiny well lit dining room with big windows. Great for an anniversary dinner or something a little fancier. Knowledgeable staff with rotating specials.

My wife and came here a few months back for dinner and I unfortunately keep forgetting to review our experience!... We did not any reservations but were greeted kindly and seated immediately! Our waitress was wonderful and her recommendations were spot on. Our was very fresh and perfectly portioned! It was wonderfully quiet and romantic and I highly recommend going here!
