Having been in business for over 10 years, Lucca Bar & Grill has found what Benicia was looking for: An establishment with a friendly atmosphere, great food and drinks, and lasting friendships. We are proud of the fact that our clientele includes locals of all walks of life as well as visitors to Benicia. Lucca is owned and operated by Jan Lucca, a third generation Benician and his wife Carol.
Here at Lucca we serve Gastro-Pub Style cuisine. We offer a full service bar, with an extensive cocktail menu using seasonal fresh fruits and herbs. We provide 20 beers on draft that we like to rotate from time to time to keep things exciting. In addition, for the wine lovers, we have a wine list with 35 wines in an array of varietals. A majority of our wines are from right here in California. We are also the home of Benicia’s only Beer Garden which offers outdoor dining as well as outdoor music venue, featuring craft cocktails and the same 20 beers as the Bar & Grill . Stop by and enjoy all we have to offer. Cheers!
Sonya Battersby – General Manager
Sonya comes to Lucca with 20 years of experience in the bar and restaurant business. Having started her journey in southeastern Wisconsin, she moved here to finish her college degree at Sacramento State with a major in criminal justice and a minor in business. Upon arriving in California she met Jan Lucca, then owner of O’Leary’s Irish Pub, and after a short time of bartending, she became manager and transitioned to the GM role at Lucca. Sonya enjoys choosing the beers and wines on our menus. Whether you are a beer or wine person you will always find a nice glass or bottle of wine or beer that accompanies our food dishes. Her vast knowledge in mixology is used to create our house cocktails, and recently she has decided to take the cocktails in a new direction and create seasonal ones as well.
