🍝 MANFREDI RAGU — Comfort Food, the Lucca Way. 🇮🇹
There’s something special about a dish that’s been given time to develop its flavor.
Our Manfredi Ragu starts with slow-cooked braised beef short rib, cooked until incredibly tender and rich, then tossed with house-made wide, ruffled pasta designed to catch every bit of that savory ragu.
The result? Tender beef that practically falls apart, silky pasta, and deep, slow-cooked flavor in every forkful. ❤️🍷
Come settle in, pour a glass of wine, and experience a true Italian comfort dish at Lucca Italian Chophouse.

🥩🔥 Ah yes… the famous Lucca Tomahawk Ribeye.
This isn’t just dinner—it’s a steak experience.
An impressive 42 oz. Tomahawk Ribeye, aged a minimum of 35 days to develop incredible tenderness and deep, concentrated beef flavor. Beautiful marbling renders as it cooks, creating that rich, buttery flavor and melt-in-your-mouth tenderness that makes this steak one of Lucca’s most talked-about dishes.
Perfectly cooked, boldly presented, and definitely worthy of a picture before that first bite. 📸🥩
Come hungry. Bring your appetite. The Tomahawk awaits at Lucca Italian Chophouse. 🍷🔥
