Surprise!! That's what we said on our first visit to the Restaurant. With 35 years of experience as a Chef I don't often eat at Restaurants. Tonight we enjoyed a delightful Italian meal with salad and pasta. Coffee and dessert were a great finish to our meal. Give it a try!!
Truly, best family owned place in St. Paul. People working here are not just " nice" but they know how to create an atmosphere of genuine care for customers and proven to be a solid team that holds themselves to the highest standards of authentic italian homemade cuisine. Visit Luci Ancora and you will find here the most delicious experience at a reasonable price. Ora I.
Cocktails were very nice. We both enjoyed ours. Our service was also very pleasant. The food was nothing to write home about. Atmosphere was okay.
$$$ white table cloth dining experience. Locally Italian family owned a gem in the St Kate U area. Reservation recommended.
Stumbled upon this place by pure coincidence and we are so glad we did. The food was amazing and it’s a perfect spot for a date night or just grabbing a nicer dinner with friends. My date got the daily 4 course tasting meal and I got pasta and Caesar salad and every bite of food that we had was amazing. Our server was also so kind and funny!! We had a wonderful experience and will definitely be coming back.
