I still chuckle when I think about my experience as a guest bartender at Ristorante LUCCA. It was so much fun interacting with the guests and seeing behind the bar where the mixologists truly make the magic happen. Of course, the music only added to the fun, relaxing atmosphere.

If you haven’t been to Ristorante LUCCA’s happy hour or lunch, you’re missing out. Of course, they present a fine-dining dinner experience you’d expect in New York City or Philadelphia right here in Bordentown, New Jersey. It’s no surprise they were again named 2025 Open Table Diner’s Choice Award Winner.

Ristorante LUCCA’s is the perfect setting for lunch with key clients or colleagues. With its affordable and authentic Italian menu, it’s a great spot to meet up with friends for lunch, too. Those looking for a lighter lunch might want to try the Apple, Spinach & Walnut Salad or the Lobster & Crab Bisque, while those who enjoy a full lunch might want to try the Veal Parmigiana or the Black Angus Prime Filet Mignon served with Wine Reduction Sauce.
