I woke up with a craving for a creamy Italian dish and decided to take a drive out to Crown Point,…read moreand I'm so glad I did. I ended up at Lucrezia, and from the moment I arrived, I knew I had made the right choice. The restaurant is set in a beautiful Victorian home, which immediately adds to the charm. Walking in, the atmosphere felt warm, cozy, and inviting. I was welcomed and given the option to sit anywhere, I chose a window seat, which made the experience even more relaxing. My server, Anthony, truly made the visit exceptional. He was attentive, friendly, and very knowledgeable about the menu. After I shared what I was in the mood for, he recommended the Sacchett and it was absolutely perfect. Rich, creamy, and full of flavor, it completely satisfied my craving. Everything about this visit from the ambiance to the service to the food was a great experience. Even the leftovers reheated well, which is always a bonus. I'll definitely be back! Highly recommend a visit!

Only thing I didn't like was how tiny the table was as we had to move a bunch of stuff off of it to another chair. We started off with their complimentary bread and cheese and oil which was really tasty. We grabbed a bottle of red and ordered the shrimp Alfredo and the chicken cavatappi. Both dishes were really good though I wish I would have had said no onions for the cavatappi plate. Overall cool neighborhood spot and I recommend you try it yourself!

One important thing to note about seating is that some of the tables are high-top bar tables. I happen to have a disability, so had they assigned our reservation with one of those tables it would have been a problem because it's hard for me to get up and down in those seats. The service was A-1! From the hostesses to the wait staff and management. They were extremely attentive throughout our meal. Instead of just putting the appetizers on the table, our waiter plated them for us. This is probably the only misstep during our meal. He assumed that all of us wanted a piece of each app instead of asking each of us which app we wanted. We ordered stuffed mushrooms and bruschetta. A couple people didn't like mushrooms. Also, we had more people joining us so by plating all the apps upfront there wasn't enough for the rest of our party. Even still he was a great waiter. The food was phenomenal! I got the steak and eggs from the brunch menu. The cut of steak was like a hanger steak. When I say cooked and seasoned to perfection!?! It was one of the best restaurant steaks I've had. Our entire table enjoyed the food we ordered, including the cocktails. The food is pricey, but for an elevated experience or special occasion it is absolutely worth the visit!

I kills me to give it such high remarks as I'm afraid that more will find this gem, but I have to give them credit, it's really nice, no other way to say it.

Giovanni's had a prime rib deal going on in December for $39. We decided to order it…read more I thought what kind of prime rib we can expect for this low price was puzzling to me, but we tried it. Prime rib is a normally a roasted meat but the friendly waitress asked how we liked it prepared and charred was of the two options presented to us. It was like we couldn't get the usual rare, medium or well-done scope of options. When it arrived, it was not the Prime Rib I was accustomed too but a charred thin steak with overboard seasoning. Being a man and a birthday party honoree, I decided to not complain or send it back as such would have been a very rude, unappreciative gesture to my host, I thought. What I learned here is this is not a place known for Prime Rib or steaks as it is an Italian eatery, stick with pizza and pasta dishes for the best satisfaction. Lesson learned.

Our server was really nice and even though she forgot the extra bread and water fill ups - we were treated nicely. And our food came out in perfect timing. Our food came with a side and also soup so we ordered the lobster bisque. I liked the taste of it but the lobster and onions were diced up and there was so much of it that it just didn't taste good. Onto the entrees I ordered the chicken Marsala and it came with two good sized chicken breasts and I opted for the fettuccine Alfredo on the side. Overall I give it a 7/10 - it hit the mark but wasn't impressive. We also ordered the Parmesan crusted 8 oz filet for $35. We asked for medium but it came out medium rare. Was a bit bland but we ate it. Overall we won't be back for a while but it's a good place to try when you want some Italian from an old school joint.

I know they have a lot of different games, such as VR machines, duckpin bowling, darts etc but if you come at any point in the daytime it is usually so overrun with children that having a drink or adult time is strange. If you go too late on a weekend you can run into a much younger party vibe. The bar itself is so nice and large, and they have a ton of options for cocktails and other options. The food has been consistently pretty good for us from burgers to nachos to grilled cheese. We've never had a problem with the service and love coming back here, like I said you just have to pick your poison when thinking what type of atmosphere you want to be in.

We came to do duckpin bowling after visiting Mechanical Pins in Indy last weekend. We had fun…read morealthough there isn't a way to play by the traditional rules of 3 rolls per turn. We talked about how we would absolutely come back to Public Bar & Rec UNTIL we received the check and saw we were charged 20% gratuity for the GAME as well as the food/drinks. We ordered four soft drinks without refills and our waitress checked on us once more during the hour. No food was ordered and we needed zero assistance. Absolute insanity that there is gratuity added to the games that are supposed to be part of the draw and environment and that you are already paying for. It's not like she was manually fixing the pins for us each roll or something. Mechanical Pins charged by the hour and even encouraged food to be brought in from the food court next door or from anywhere else or to order from their own bar. No gratuity was automatically added for the entertainment. This would have been fun for the $45 advertised but we walked out paying $80. We asked the two young ladies at the front as we were leaving if that was the norm for them to charge gratuity on the games and were told yes. However, their website states differently and says it is for parties of more than 8 people. We were a family of four and not there for a party.

We chose Carrabba's due to its proximity to us. We ordered raspberry, flavored, iced tea, Caesar salad, Sacchetti appetizer, and Lasagne. My partner ate some of the Sacchetti appetizer as her dinner. I say some because it was room temperature. The server asked how our food tasted and we told her the appetizer was not hot or even warm. The manager came over and asked if we wanted a new one. We did not want a new one and we're happy to find out that they took it off the bill. The lasagna was just OK and regrettably. I ordered a take-home for the $10 deal before I was able to taste it as my dinner that night. My soup and my partner salad was brought out first and very shortly after about two minutes the rest of our food came out. We were disappointed because we did not finish our first course at that time. My soup came with a teaspoon and not a soup spoon. The raspberry iced tea did not have a lot of flavor. We asked our server about this, and she said that the manager changed the sign in the back from six pumps of flavoring to two pumps of flavoring recently. Two pumps was not enough.

TheCaesar salad was a bit of a disappointment with soggy lettuce.my humble suggestion would be to just stick to two sides and cut the price accordingly. Three sides are too many for a big dinner like that As for the appetizer of the shrimp scampi, the broth was beautiful a lot of garlic, very flavorful however, the shrimp was cooked beyond recognition . Is everyone knows shrimp needs to be cooked very delicately and lightly Overall there's a lot of potential there but the steak needs to be a higher quality cut with marbling and more tender in this cost rage. I can get a much better steak for less at Texas roadhouse or Texas Corral

I wouldn't get it again. We also got the farfalle alla buttera and we added shrimp. Both the shrimp and chicken unfortunately were over cooked. The sauce was on the bland side. Just wasn't for us this time around. We also got a spicy peach tini- it was pretty good but had too many jalapeño seeds on it.
