Chef Frank Bonanno dug into his Sicilian heritage and east coast roots to create this authentic, rustic Italian eatery. Luca has amazing personal touches from the daily made breads and pastas to the meats and cheeses cured in house, to the charcoal drawing of Bonanno’s son (and the restaurant’s namesake) that hangs in the dining room. Luca is heartwarming and satisfying from the wood-fired pizzas to the hand-rolled pastas to the perfectly seared proteins. It’s not your ordinary pile-of-pasta-and-sauce Italian joint; it’s the real (and tasty) deal.

Just ate here for the first time. I was hoping it would live up to the largely positive reviews. It did. We were party of four and every appetizer and entree was delicious. Given the quality and quantity of the food the prices were more than reasonable in my opinion. I haven't said that about a restaurant in quite a while.
