My wife had the tagliatelli bolognese and I had the porchetta. Both were stand outs. We finished with tiramisu (we had to share because we were both very full.) Our server was excellent. Couldn't have asked for better. Attentive and answered any question we had. As far as ambiance goes it was a really nice space. Not too big. It felt cozy and just enough "farm to table feel." If you get the chance you should go.

I dined there yesterday, Sunday, September 20th, and I can't say enough about the great service. Big smiles, polite discussion with us, everything. Kelly waited on us at Luca and she was fantastic. We enjoyed the burrata and the focaccia as starters, so delicious. I had the ravioli in the sun gold tomato sauce and loved it, and my husband loved the Sunday meatballs. For dessert, Affogato has long been my favorite dessert whenever I see it on a menu. Luca's is one of the best I've had. My husband loved the olive oil cake with the blackberry jam! This is a beautiful restaurant with comfortable seating and while buzzing with energy, not so loud that we couldn't chat over our meals. Lancaster is indeed lucky to have such a great fine dining restaurant!

Valentinos reminds me of this in all the best ways. Their motto is "where good friends meet" and they have absolutely nailed the family/friend/vibe, hitting the nail on the proverbial head. Debbie slings hot pasta like a humming birds, bouncing back and forth between tables just as fast as she can. And ohhh boy the sauce. I love it. Its sweet, meaty, and is really good for dipping your garlic bread in it. I will also echo others the Tenderloin Tips Sandwich is very VERY good. Rob, the bartender, is also a gem - putting up with my inane ramblings and proactively giving me water to hydrate. After several generations, Valentinos is still family owned/run, and they've still got it! Note that there is live music almost every Thursday on the restaurant side, including both professional and amateur artists. If you're looking for a down to earth place to get some food, drinks, and enjoy good company; this is the place for you! **Open for takeout and/or groceries during the COVID quarantine.

Started off good enough hostess was gracious and wished us a happy anniversary- Server was cold, distant and seemed annoyed to be there- We ended up starting with the Classic CAPRESE- yes basic but when done correctly amazing- this was done correctly! I ordered the Cod Special which was excellent. Added a side of rigatoni nice but $10 seemed a little pricey. My wife had the Parpadelle Bolognese which she enjoyed. Problem was the tables around sat empty and dirty for far too long. When our entrees arrived our caprese plates were never cleared nor were we offered any additional bread- Half way through our meal the server shows up- "how was the first bite"- REALLY?? Never offered to pour our wine and had ZERO personality. Food was very good so would consider returning BUT- when you are charging premium prices it's the overall experience you expect which Sarah P was far from delivering.

Interesting way of serving it - but it was great. I went with some chicken, penne with broccoli, garlic and olive oil - outstanding.
