Three of us stopped in after a movie nearby. We all ordered pizzas, garlic knots and wine. Everything tasted very good and our waitress was very helpful and friendly. We had plenty of leftovers to take home. Just a nice relaxing atmosphere and we had a very nice time. The menu has much more we would like to try.

The only thing better would have been to have actually seen my grandmother because Benny makes her "sauce." The same one she taught my mom to make and was passed down to me. The garlic knots are out of this world, dipped in that sauce.The pizza was fabulous.New York/ New Haven style but you can get Sicilian style too.Great, friendly service.Benny will come out to greet you! Can't wait to go back.

I have been consistently impressed with the speed and efficiency of the delivery service.The excellent meals arrive hot and delicious from the pizzas and calzones and subs, not to mention the great salads. My new fave are the wings... the garlic wings and the Chinese wings are to die for! Yum.

We decided to try this restaurant even though we had heard numerous reports that the hostess was rude and less than welcoming. We did not experience that. The young lady that met us at the door was friendly and welcoming.The restaurant has a casual atmosphere, it serves only wine and beer, and has an extensive menu.If you are looking for large portions and are not concerned about presentation, taste, or imaginative dishes this is the place for you. The chicken piccata was chicken fingers, breaded and deep fried and then covered in a lemon and mushroom sauce. It was less than appealing. The eggplant rollatini was served in a pie plate. There was only a very few slices of eggplant covered with copious amounts of cheese and some sauce. There was way too much cheese and very little eggplant. It was not recognizable as rollatini. Both of the entrees were accompanied with a side of pasta and, while the sauce was tasty and well made, the pasta was not well drained which resulted in a watery mess in the bowl. A side of rabbi was tasty but very over cooked.If you are interested in presentation and flavor there are many other better Italian alternatives in Venice. But if you are looking for large portions of food this is the place to go.

The best thing about our trip to Lucarelli's was the kindness of the hostess, who opened the door 15 minutes early to accomodate us. My phone had told me the restaurant opened at 4:00, but the sign on the door indicated that it did not open until 5 during the summer. As we stood out front debating what to do,the lady stuck her head out and asked if we had reservations. We said no, but we would like to come back at 5. Because they were scheduled to be full,she offered to open 15 minutes early if we promised to be done by 6:30 because that's when she needed our table. We were glad we did! I enjoyed a lovely eggplant parmesan, my husband said his lasagna was excellent, and the two meatballs that came with my sister's spaghetti were huge! Mom enjoyed veal marsala, and had plenty to take home for lunch the next day. We finished with canelloni and homemade gelato, both of which were excellent. The atmosphere was warm and comfortable, dim lighting, and well-decorated. Only 12 or 13 tables, so be sure to make reservations!

We were greeted warmly by two staff members who were outside as we approached the restaurant. What a great welcome. We decided to eat inside, but they have quite a few tables available for people who enjoy alfresco dining. Our waiter promptly greeted us bringing a basket filled with their delicious bread and chopped tomatoes to top off the bread. We ordered a large pizza with sausage and arugula. It was delicious! Venice is the âland of pizzaâ because there are so many restaurants that offer it. But, this is the absolute best place to enjoy pizza. And that is not all because we visited this place awhile back and they have a wonderful menu with lots of choices beyond pizza. And all of their food is fantastic. The service is superb. We will definitely return! Hi Michele, we really appreciate your feedback and such kind words! We're looking forward to serving you again.
