Treat Yourself to an Italian Lunch at Eric Scott's Favorite Place

As we all get busier and busier, it’s tempting to eat lunch at your desk or graze all day rather than taking a proper lunch break.

That’s a recipe for burnout, though. You work hard and deserve a true lunch break so you can return to your tasks with a clear head and renewed energy. Why eat at a diner when you can have an elevated culinary experience at Ristorante LUCCA? From the moment you walk in the door, you’re immersed in their ambiance and know you’re going to receive the quality you just don’t find elsewhere.

Ristorante LUCCA presents the plates and service 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.

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.
