ucca, a city in the Tuscany region of Italy, has inspired some fine Italian

cuisine right here in our center city! Located in the middle of the country,

Lucca is equidistant from the shores of the sprawling Mediterranean Sea

and rolling Italian hillsides. As such, the Lucca of downtown Canton will have the best

of both worlds from its Italian namesake – a combination of fresh fish and exquisite

meats and game.

Lucca is opening this July at 228 Fourth Street NW, in downtown Canton. Chef JoshSchory’s first solo restaurant venture will serve authentic Italian foods created from thefreshest, locally sourced ingredients imaginable.

Schory hopes to build his restaurant around gourmet delights of local flavor and the surge ofdowntown Canton’s “foodie” mentality. “This town has so much potential. More and morepeople are coming downtown to experience culinary fare and to try new things. I’m alwaysimpressed by what people order, their willingness to try something new,” said Schory. “That’swhat I hope to bring to the downtown dining landscape – help people embrace their culinarysensibilities.”

Schory attended New England Culinary Institute and did an externship with restaurants throughout Vermont. He trained with Charlie Trotters in Chicago, Ill., and worked at a variety of restaurants and country clubs. Most recently, he served as sous-chef at Fedeli.

On the launch menu is a full range of appetizers, including calamari with cherry peppers androasted garlic aioli, specialty bruschetta combinations and mussels served tableside in babycast-iron skillets. Salads range from an heirloom tomato and house-pulled mozzarella Caprese,and a roasted portabella salad, to a traditional Caesar, with light, flavorful “broken” dressingand anchovies.

Diners will find a touch of TUSCANYin downtown’s new LUCCA

$1.56 million raised in 2011 ... $101,000 more than last year!

A joyous victory party took place at The New Peter Shears Downtown restaurant in downtown Cantonin May to celebrate the 2,800 generous donors who “pARTicipated” in bringing ArtsinStark’s annualarts campaign to the goal mark.

The 2011 Annual Arts Campaign raised a total of $1,556,000 – the highest amount in ArtsinStark’s40-year history. Campaign chair Karen Belden announced that the campaign had made goal for thesixth year in a row and raised $101,000 more than 2010.

“This campaign was a fight to the finish,” said Belden, “It reminded me of just how generous the peopleof Stark County can be.” To celebrate, campaign chair Karen Belden led volunteers in a friendly “poetry slam” competition accompanied by the playful percussion of Elec Simon, just back from his tourwith the Broadway show STOMP.

“People are investing in us because they see the impact the arts have on economic development,” saysArtsinStark board vice chair Mark Wright. “Given the amazing success of the last six years, we think thatone day we can be raising $2 million annually for the arts here.”

The majority of the monies raised, 74% or $1.2 million, will go back out into the Stark County com-munity by way of ArtinStark grants next year. The first $1 million in grants goes to the seven largestarts groups: the Canton Ballet, Canton Museum of Art, Canton Palace Theatre, Canton Symphony,Massillon Museum, Players Guild Theater and Voices of Canton. The next $200,000 is awarded insmaller grants to 100 Stark County schools, non profits, and artists. The remaining dollars go towardputting more live music, public art, and artist studios in the downtown center cities around StarkCounty; running the 330,000 square foot Cultural Center for the Arts; and the completion of the new20/20 Vision ten-year plan for arts and economic development.

Arts Campaign reaches goalfor sixth consecutive year

A margherita pizza will be an ongoing menu staple, but specialty thin crust piz-zas will abound as well for lunch and dinner. For now, the pizzas will becooked on a piastra cooking stone with applewood chips to add a smoky fla-vor, and Schory hopes to put a true wood-fired oven into the kitchen next year.

Lucca’s wide variety of pasta entrees will include the house-made gnocchi inmarinara sauce (Schory’s own recipe), linguini with fresh littleneck clams, buc-catini and meatballs, and pasta pomodoro with fresh tomatoes and olive oil.The pasta will be fresh made in Ohio City, but after a successful launch, Schorywill try his hand at pasta making himself.

He’ll round out the dinner menu with herb-crusted rack of lamb, accompaniedby pan-fried gnocchi, and a filet with fresh horseradish and pine nut gremola-ta.

At lunchtime, Lucca’s signature salads will be offered as wraps with steak andchicken, and served with fresh-cut fries, white bean salad or fruit. A homemademeatball sub, “Tuscan” burger and grilled vegetable wrap are also availableat lunchtime.

How fresh is fresh? Lucca will have a simple but delectable menu of Italian clas-sics, but it’s the daily specials that will bring customers back for more. “I’mgoing to use as many local, fresh products as I can get my hands on. I want toshow people authenticity in Italian cooking, and authentic Italian means usingthe freshest, never frozen, produce, fish and game,” said Schory. And he’s look-ing to bring game galore to the menu, including elk, venison, boar and squab,for starters. Other specials will include a daily array of flat breads, antipastoselections, risotto and ravioli.

Lucca is opening at the location previously occupied by Iris Restaurant, and forfans of Iris, there will be many familiar faces (and some new ones!) amongLucca’s seasoned service staff and his classically-trained culinary staff.

While keeping the open, comfortable ambiance of the space, he’s adding dra-matic touches to make the atmosphere his own: new, wide-plank hardwoodfloors, warm hued walls with a subtle stucco pattern, a new server station toincrease serving efficiency and flow, and some special occasion seating in thedownstairs wine-room.

The bar will have a full lineup of cocktails and libations, Peroni Italian beer ontap, and a wide range of both budget-friendly and connoisseur-quality wines.

Lucca will be open for lunch from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. daily, and from 5 to 10 p.m.for dinner (with possible extended kitchen hours for special events). The bar willbe open until 2 a.m. nightly. Between 2 and 5 p.m. he’ll offer an abbreviatedbar menu including appetizers, flatbreads and pizzas.
