🥂 60 YEARS OF BOBBY!🍷

Some people celebrate turning 60 with a nice dinner at Cafe Lucci.

Bobby went to Albania. 🇦🇱😂

Today we’re celebrating our owner, founder, w**e director, dad, resident comedian, professional storyteller, and the man who has been keeping Café Lucci well-fed, well-poured and laughing for the last 31 years.

If you know Bobby, you know there’s always a joke, always an opinion, and ALWAYS a bottle of w**e involved. 🍷

Since Bobby was born in 1966, we figured there was only one appropriate way to celebrate his 60th:

🍾 BOTTLES OF W**E FOR $19.66! 🍾

While Bobby is off celebrating in Albania, we’ll be doing what he taught us best here at Café Lucci — opening bottles.

Come have one for Bobby. Have two if you really like him. 😉

Happy 60th Birthday, Bobby! ❤️
Here’s to 60 years of stories, laughs and w**e — and 31 incredible years of Café Lucci.

Gëzuar! 🥂🇦🇱

🇮🇹 This Week’s Special at Café Lucci 🇮🇹

Transport your taste buds to the sun-soaked coast of Sicily with our Pollo alla Siciliana.

Tender chicken breast is finished in a delicate white w**e sauce and topped with vibrant Castelvetrano olives—the famous buttery green olives from Sicily—along with sweet peppers, capers, fresh herbs, and garlic. Served with crispy roasted potatoes, it’s a dish that’s both bright and comforting, capturing the flavors of Southern Italy in every bite.

The mild, buttery Castelvetrano olives are what make this classic so memorable, adding a rich Sicilian touch that perfectly balances the briny capers and savory white w**e sauce.

Available all week at Café Lucci. Join us for and enjoy a true taste of Sicily. 🍷✨
