We were planning on spending the evening exploring for pretty Christmas lights in our "extended neighborhood", so we decided to order take out from Lucci's Deli in Huntington Beach. We had never been there, but their ads looked good, the prices were reasonable and they are close by. So, we figured we'd give them a try.

The Garlic Bread looked good, but could have used a little more garlic and butter. The Lasagna was just excellent. It was rolled, rather than layered; and just brimming with meat and cheese, and had a great tasting sauce. The Chicken Parmesan was pretty good, but not memorable (a little thin on the chicken breast). The Paradise Pasta ( with chicken, broccoli, basil, olive oil, garlic and Romano Cheese) was just ok. It really needed more chicken and Romano Cheese. The Meat Balls were magnificent- tender, flavorful meat and a great marinara sauce. The cookies were prettier than they were delicious.

Today's Lucci's Deli Take Out dinner gets two thumbs up from the 3 Tubby Tummys!

We found some beautifully decorated houses on our self-guided tour, and have included pictures of some of our favorites.
