Southern Italy Con Amore

It was time to enjoy Southern Italy in a quiet environment in Little Italy, Montreal. We enjoyed Roman in February at La Spada, now let’s enjoy a delicious menu focused on Southern Italy with the well-known Italian Restaurant Lucca. Rated 4.8 in Resto Montreal and Trip Advisor. Since 1999, Lucca has established itself with a reputation for its warm atmosphere, quality cuisine and private wine imports. Owner Anthony Paplia has incorporated his Southern roots with Chef Adelino Dominques to provide a delectable evening for us to enjoy. In the heart of Little Italy, Lucca serves local market fresh Italian specialties. We had a full house enjoy the custom Menu. During the evening, the Cellar Master Earl auctioned orphans left in our cellar from previous events. There was active bidding and several members took home excellent wines for their own cellars.
