"Lucca North End in Boston presents itself as a promising Italian cuisine experience, but it somewhat misses the mark. The Branzino, a dish usually known for its delicate flavor, was notably bland, lacking the expected zest and seasoning. As for the Duck Confit appetizer, it was unremarkable. While not necessarily bad, it failed to leave a lasting impression, which is disappointing considering its potential as a dish. Additionally, the Grappa, an Italian staple, was underwhelming. It’s safe to say that anyone familiar with authentic Italian Grappa might find this version lackluster. Overall, Lucca North End might be suitable for a casual meal, but for those seeking an exceptional Italian culinary adventure, it might not live up to expectations. My rating: decidedly mediocre."
