"mmmmm yummy! I used to train close to Camden and this was the place to eat real authenic tasting Italian food. The Boggi family who run it are also great hosts!"

"We visited this restaurant last night (5/5/07). Based on the comments elsewhere on this site I was really expecting something quite special. I was very disappointed.

Although acceptable, the food was mediocre at best, the decoration is circa 1979 and in need of a huge overhaul. The service was friendly and helpful however. I wished we had chosen somewhere else to eat. Moral - everyone has a different idea as to what constitutes good quality interesting food so perhaps it isn't wise to trust other peoples' judgements!"

"This is a really charming restaurant. The tables and chairs are out of a Austrian tavern and there's nothing new about it - but that's its charm - for there is nothing pretentious about it either. You get warm and friendly service AND it's totally sincere.

The food is reliably good - I’ve eaten here on occasions over the last seven years and I’ve never had one bad meal. I remember once when I was slim and lithe I tentatively ordered just a green salad and sauté potatoes as a main course. Without a flicker of the eyelid they served it as if I’d ordered Langoustine.

It’s the one restaurant where I have never resented leaving a tip.It's quiet, respectful and cosy and - unlike many of the asinine eating places in London - it breathes. The ambience is of happy Italian family... of the sweetest kind."

"La dolce vita.

At Trattoria Lucca I was treated like royalty like a king in an unknown territory. The food was out of this world. In my opinion the best place to eat by a long way. Also when I ate there on a Friday night behind the bar worked the splitting image wolverine from x-men look-alike not just a look-alike a great person to talk to very down to earth and extremely funny."

""It has been there as long as I can remember, run by 3 or more generations of the Boggi family. Always a friendly place and the food is good (good value too). It moved up market about twenty years ago, being more cheap & equally cheerful in those days. There are numerous regular customers which is always a good sign.""

""Trattoria Lucca for me is the best place in London to eat. I'm a food critic and Lucca is a real taste of Italy which is hard to find in London.""
