Come See Eric Scott Assist Chef Andrea at Ristorante LUCCA on Thursday, Oct. 30

I have the distinct honor of assisting Ristorante LUCCA's Chef Andrea in his kitchen on Thursday, Oct. 30. You'll also see me serving some tables and hosting a small meet and greet in Ristorante LUCCA's lounge.

Chef Andrea is the culinary mastermind behind the Fall menu, which includes dishes like:

• Filet Mignon served with Pumpkin Coulis, Gorgonzola Cream and Crispy Guanciale
• Rack of Venison served with Chestnut Marmalade
• Bone-in Chicken Breast, White Wine Sauce, Capers, Black and Castelvetrano Olives, Cherry Tomatoes

As always, Ristorante LUCCA provides a beautiful fine dining experience, from the atmosphere you feel the moment you open the door, to exquisite flavors and plating, and the live musical entertainment. The fresh, seasonal dishes are absolutely delicious, and I can't wait to see Chef Andrea in action.

I'd love to see you there Thursday night, but don't forget Ristorante LUCCA also offers excellent experiences at lunch and happy hour. Their traditional Sunday Italian dinner is an impressive sight to behold — antipasto, salad, house-made pasta, three Italian meats, and dessert, all served family style.

It's not too early to think of the holidays. Ristorante LUCCA can host intimate gatherings, corporate events, and festive celebrations, and they will be open noon to 7 p.m. on Thanksgiving, serving both their regular a la carte menu and a special Thanksgiving menu. They will also be open from noon to 8 p.m. on Christmas Eve.
