Lucchesi's Bar & Restaurant

Very very good food.  Reminded me of my grandma's and great aunts Italian cooking. The sauce is amazing and delightfully sweet. Pretty pricey but worth it for a different place that really cares about the quality of food and service.

I used to work at Luccehesi's in high school washing dishes but never really sampled the food outside of the mafalda, why eat anything else =)

This place is the best!  Everything is made to order by Less or Edmond (Les's Son).  Def try the mafalda or crab hozel as an app.  

The first time two times I was here for dinner I had the Lobster Romano (pictured) and it was out of this world AMAZING!  I didn't want to keep ordering the same thing so the 3rd time I had the Veal and Wine and it was to die for.  One thing I can say about this place is you don't go away hungry and you get your monies worth.

You won't meet better people than Les and Pauline.  Les will be sure to sit at the table and tell jokes as he sips coffee or water.  Pauline always has a smile from ear to ear.  

The wait staff is great and very knowledgeable.  I'm sure I will be back again, hell I was just there Friday and I am ready to go back again!  I can't say enough good things about Lucchesi's.  Make sure you put it on your list for upscale dining.  

Be sure to make reservations, they only sit so many people per evening.

Hands down the best restaurant in Southwestern PA.  Family owned and operated, it sits quietly in a sleepy steel mill town.  The nondescript building will have several high end cars parked outside - when you see them, you're there.  Walk through the doors and you'll feel like you just walked into an episode of the Sopranos.  The place is old school, literally the Rat Pack could resurrect and come walking through the door.  There is a dress code: no jeans, no sandals, no sneakers, no kidding.  Now the reason you just drove 45 minutes and are breaking out your wrinkle resistant Dockers: the food.  Favorites include:  roasted red peppers and Havarti cheese, crab hozel, mafalda pasta (order two, one to take home... trust me), Virginia spots, veal with wine sauce, and chicken parm.  Honestly everything is amazing, but these are my personal favorites.   The wine selection is also fantastic.  Don't be surprised if you find out the people at the next table are in from Chicago because they heard about how good the food is.  Also, expect a visit from owner/ chef Les - really a wonderful man.  And make sure to have desert, his wife Pauline makes them herself and they are amazing.

Birthday?  New Baby?  Anniversary?  Graduation?  Important business dinner?  Your wife burnt the pot roast?  Your kid just got their braces off?  Find a reason.

Seating is very limited and they are open only Thurs. thru Sat. - so call early to book a table.  Cash only.  Lots of cash.  Worth every penny.
