About the Business

The story of Luci Ancora & Ristorante Luci is a romantic one, as all good Italian stories are. With a passion for food and wine, cultivated by the experience of living in and around Naples, Italy, the Smith Family began their coincidental culinary and viticulture education when Kennedy was in office. It was the 1960's. With an opportunity to live abroad, newlywed Al & Lucille Smith packed their things and moved to Via Petrarca, Naples, Italy, the scenic neighborhood just outside the bustling city center overlooking the beautiful Bay of Naples.

For 11 years, Al & Lucille spent their time raising their growing family of six children immersing themselves in the Italian way of life. Enjoying friends and family amidst seasonal cuisine and a veritable selection of wine - these times around the table would be the inspiration for what would later become the Luci Restaurants.

Established in 1987.
