Italian restaurant · Des Moines

"This was the top recommendation from Jonathan Martin of the New York Times during a recent run-in, and who am I to argue with the guy who put Smitty’s Tenderloin Shop on the map? Lucca’s four-course dinner tasting menu is a choose-your-own-adventure to the beat of a standard Italian-American dinner: appetizers, pastas, mains, and dessert. But the time to go is during lunch, when you can get a la carte sandwiches and plates of pasta for $10. Recent guests include Ivanka Trump and Jill Biden. Both sides can agree on one thing: Carbs make America great again." - Gary He
