Lucali For Eggplant Lovers

[Jim Kelly-Evans]

Eggplant, particularly Eggplant Parmigiana, is a favorite dish of mine. They were out of eggplant at Al Mare during our recent visit. Isoletta offers a small, starter-sized portion, but Lucali knocks the ball out of the park with their ample and delicious offering. We were also impressed with the specials blackboard offering, among other items, truffle-flavored dishes including a rigatoni in cheese sauce. We started with a special salad of greens, pistachio nuts and blue cheese in a tangy vinegrete. Dan had a grilled fish with a side salad and I had the eggplant. Pizza? Yes, but Lucali is more than a pizzaria! (They have a full bar and a large wine list, which we did not sample having had evening cocktails at our villa.)

Lucali is more than a pizzaria!

The original Lucali that I loved before it became the internet darling was a pizza place. You could get pizza or pizza. If you wanted wine to go with it you had to go to the shop down the street. I also love a good eggplant parm.
