Lucca’s Pasta Bar

Best Italian food My wife and I have had. Service is just amazing. Actually, best customer service my wife and I have ever had. I would give this place more stars is I could. Oh yeah, and compared to Olive Garden, prices are really affordable for the great quality food you are getting. They also serve beer.
I got the pastor sauce with fredachini (sorry for spelling) and highly recommend it. It is spicy but I like spicy. You can ask for less or more spicy.
I’m going to be a regular for sure.

I can’t say enough about Lucca’s. It’s just great. The service is excellent and fast. We go to Lucca’s three or four times a month. Each time we go to Lucca’s we try an order something different. Last night I had the chicken caccitorie. The pasta was perfectly cooked, The sauce was excellent, the portions are perfect and the prices are reasonable. Go check out Lucca’s. You won’t be dissapointed.

Good here is perfection. The first time I had build your own pasta with ground beef marinara sauce, Italian sausage and mushrooms. It was so amazing. Most small business don’t give out free refills now a days and they do. The service was also great. Definitely one of the hidden Gems of San Bernardino.

Decided to give this place a try and I’m glad I did. Pasta was amazing. Had the Cajun shrimp scampi, along with their amazing breadstick and salad. Staff was friendly as well. Will definitely be coming back for round 2!

Oh what to say about Lucca’s? My husband and I have visited this little gem of a restaurant more than once and it’s like a little slice of heaven.
When you arrive there is a window to order your meal. Pastas, pizzas, pannis, salads. So many things to choose from. One of my favorites is the tortellini gorgonzola. I order mine sans cashews. The pizza with avocado, jalapeño, chicken and red onions is to die for. It’s also on the top of my order list. Drinks are, again, whatever you desire, soda, iced tea, wine. I think beer, but I’m not 100%, my apologies. You can order to go or eat in.
If eating in just choose from a large group of tables and they will serve you. The meals come out, and honestly the pasta is enough to feed two, though I could be greedy and keep it to myself. The pasta also comes with panini and a small salad. I always choose the ceaser, though the side salad is also a available.
Lastly, I must mention that all the people that work here are truly nice people. They make the visit so much more enjoyable.
If you are looking for a place that is affordable and serves par one food, definitely stop by.

Great food at a great price. As a ovo lacto vegetarian I can’t talk about the meat, but my friends tell me it’s good too. The pasta is wonderful and great portion sizes. The staff is friendly and the restaurant clean. Vegetables are great too. It’s probably the best restaurant in San Bernardino which I know isn’t saying much usually, btu I think it compares nicely to some places in LA. It’s quite a small place, so great for a date with a special person. The food is prepared in a timely manner. Great variety too and great prices. I go here whenever I get the chance. I wish more people ate here. It sometimes closes during times when Cal State is not in session so make sure you call if it’s summertime.

Would have loved to try the place, but they were closed even though the hours indicate they were open.

Great friendly service, delicious food and reasonable prices. Excellent spaghetti and meatballs. The get the little things right here like remembering your name and calling you by it when you walk in. Great Italian food, service and prices.

The food was very delicious
very well amount of condiments
Will be coming back to try out different plates

My dad and I are both very picky italians. We came here on a whim because it had good ratings and we’re so happy we did. The pasta was al dente. I got the seafood al pastor and my dad got the vegan classico and they were both delicious. I’m deathly allergic to nuts and they were very helpful with keeping nuts away from my food while preparing it. We are definitely coming back!

This place has the best pastas I’ve ever had. I tried many restaurants from
various locations and no one can compete with this place. Everything tastes homemade, Made to perfection, the prices are cheap and the food is superb. You must try it to understand the deliciousness of this place. It’s clean, great service, prompt orders. Superb for a small business.

I love this place the food is very good. I have tried the pasta, salads and their pizza and they have all been really good. I have came here a few times and it has not disappointed me. The employees are ways so nice!

Very tasty great flavor went with a party of eight and everybody got something different and everybody enjoyed it sauces are very flavorful portions are good! The people working here very very kind very friendly!!!

The meat lovers pizza is the best pizza that I have had in a long time. Well the money and the employees seemed like they were friendly. The restaurant was very clean but it was hot in there because the left the doors open.

the best Italian food you can ever have (:
everyone who works here is so nice and takes great care of you, the environment is nice and spacious, has a big flat screen tv, and they now have karaōke! what more can you ask for? greeaaaat food, great environment, even a little entertainment. Paiman is the best!

Delicious dinner tonight.
I enjoyed the tortellini Gorgonzola & Cesar salad. Our party also had a pizza. Food was very tasty. It was my first visit here. The building is tucked away at the back of the parking lot.
They just had a karaōke machine delivered and said they planned to start the fun sometime soon.

TL;DR — You can’t go wrong, everything is delicious — except the minestrone soup.
First time here I took Unilocaler review suggestions and got a sandwich. My friend got the Montezuma one and I got half of it and shared half of my grilled chicken pesto (not sure on that, it’s been over a week since we went). They were both amazing and I’m eager to try more food. The ceasar dressing is great. I didn’t dock points for the annoying Christmas music but I did dock points for the awful minestrone soup. I can’t put my finger on it but it basically taste like a tomato bisque with veggies and too much of the wrong spices.

Veggie sandwich was pretty good I ordered it for take out. Seems like a cool atmosphere on the inside, kind of wish I would have ate there!

I had the «All Meat» sandwich, which is made using Focaccia bread (sliced in half and stuffed with ingredients).
The Focaccia was baked to PERFECTION. It was crispy around the edges, slightly toasty in the inside with just the right amount of greasiness outside. Perhaps the most pleasantly surprising thing about the sandwich is that they don’t drench the sandwich with Marinara sauce; it’s spread across the bread perfectly to give the sandwich just a bit of wetness.
The ground Italian sausage, meatball (pieces), salami and pepperoni give this sandwich a great salty, meaty, spiciness that wouldn’t allow my hands to put it down! The mozzarella cheese was about a stringy as it gets.
At first I was disappointed about how flat the sandwich looked, but one bite in, and I couldn’t have cared less.
The sandwich came with a choice of Caesar or house salad and I chose the house salad. The fact that they use quality ingredients to make their salad, tells me that they must use quality ingredients in everything they make (or, one would hope). The house salad was made with green leaf lettuce, spinach, tomato, cucumber and carrot (much better than standard iceberg and red cabbage blends you get at most places).
Needless to say, I’ll be back. The «Chicken Italiano», «Avocado Turkey» and especially the «Montezuma Revenge» are calling my name!

Most of their customers come from the college. If you are one of those college students, SHOW YOUR ID in order to get a discount.
Lucca’s is in a difficult location. It is a quality restaurant that is nestled between a taco stand, a Thai place, and a El Polio Loco. All of these places specialize in quick meals.
Lucca’s will have you wait. To their credit, the food is usually worth the wait.
When I visit, I order their sandwich combo. Going to a pasta bar and ordering a sandwich might seem odd, it is, but they are tasty. You get a drink, the sandwich and a choice of salad. I like Montezuma’s Revenge for the jalapenos. I often stop in before an evening class and get my meal to go. The owner/​operator is always quick to take my order and apologizes that I will have to wait a few minutes.
The tell-​tale sign of quality: I take my Styrofoam container to class and it fills the room with an aroma that people search for brought the food to class. I have often been told that the food smells wonderful. It is true, the food has an enticing aroma. The flavor, taste and texture is even better.
Give them a shot while they are there. It is a tough spot that routinely circulates new businesses in and out.
