Canton

About the restaurant

In Italy, Lucca is a region known for beauty and old world charm. In Canton, Lucca bottles that same old world charm, small restaurant community and brings it to you. Using only fresh ingredients, quality service and a dedication to authenticity, Lucca serves �la dolce vita� or �the good life.� Similar to the Tuscan restaurants that inspire Lucca, locally sourced ingredients go into all of the dishes. Along with a full bar, sit down to try the hand made pasta, Prime steak, seafood overnighted from Hawaii or the local double boned pork chop. Be sure to ask your server about the dessert of the day which is always a gourmet treat.

We had a party of six for dinner last night. We could not have had a better time. Tonya did a fantastic job serving us and Janine’s wine recommendation was perfect for our group. Aside from the hour drive it took for us to get there, the evening was perfect. Our appetizers were great Cru Salad is a must Wow. Chicken very good as well. As far as the main course the filet was very flavorful, the duck was a hit and the salmon very good as well. We needed a gluten free option and boy did they accommodate. From the bread to the dessert they did a great job.

Delightful! Every dish exceeded expectations. The chicken liver app special was perfectly cooked so the livers were firm but tender and very moist. The veal in the Saltimbocca was pounded VERY thin; I could cut it easily with my fork. Our server was cheerful, prompt and efficient. We would definitely dine there again!

This was our first time dining at Tutto Carne. The food was excellent and the service outstanding! Our hangar steak was flavorful and very tender. The Caesar salad had a restaurant-made dressing that was very good. We also tried the Coquille St. Jacques which were very tasty. We will look forward to dining at Tutto Carne again!
