We've all had those days that weren't quite right. When you're ready to leave a long day behind you and unwind with friends, coworkers, or clients, Ristorante LUCCA pairs the perfect menu with the perfect atmosphere.

There is certainly no better place for a happy hour — half-priced drinks on all cocktails, beer, and wine, and a new discounted bar menu. I highly recommend the Polpettine “Meatballs” Marinara; the sauce will make your eyes roll to the back of your head. If you haven't yet, you also should try the Bruschetta Trio and the Colossal Shrimp Cocktail, which lives up to its name.

Right in Bordentown, New Jersey, Ristorante LUCCA offers a fine dining experience like you'd expect in New York or Philadelphia, but it's close to home. They have a new dress code of smart casual (no jackets required) to match their award-winning Italian cuisine and first-class service.

You'll find excellent music programs in the LUCCA Lounge while you enjoy a nightcap, too. Check Ristorante LUCCA's website for the entertainment schedule.

They are closed Mondays in June and July, serving lunch from 12-3 p.m. Tuesdays-Sundays, happy hour from 3-6 p.m. Tuesdays through Sundays, and dinner from 3-9 p.m. Sundays and 5-11 p.m. Tuesdays through Saturdays.

On Sundays, they offer a traditional Italian meal served family-style in addition to their normal à la carte dinner menu. Adults are $49 per person, while children ages 10 and younger are $19.

Experience excellence from start to finish at Ristorante LUCCA. Make a reservation by calling (609) 262-0110 or online at ristorantelucca.com.
