A new restaurant just opened up in our hood and we got invited to the opening party. Lucca is a family-ish Italian bistro. They are on a cursed corner that can't seem to keep a restaurant open. But we have high hopes - we so want a place to walk to after work - sometimes I just really need someone else to make us dinner.

Our initial review is good. The menu is very straightforward Tuscan - not too risky but lots of stuff we'll want to try. The wood fired pizza oven turned out some pretty good stuff - and they offer fresh arugula on any pizza (that must be the new thing?) which we both love. The kids menu gets a gold star and a full bar will be my respite some days after work.

The look is very warm and golden - you'll look ten years younger even at the end of the day - and there is a splashy bar where you can watch the pizza coming out of the wood fired ovens. We'll try it out for a real meal with the kidlets in tow soon.
