• Italian • Central

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.

    Food was good, service was good but for the price it would be better to be able to have more than just one tea with unlimited water making it watered down tea. Other tea places that charge less allow for two or more different teas (per person) during the duration of the tea, making for a more pleasant experience worthy of the price.

    Great place. Great service. I explained that I want a not sweet not dry wine and what they suggested was perfect. They understood the assignment. We got full so fast though, be prepared to bring home left overs.

    We sat at the counter and really enjoyed chatting with the chef throughout our meal. It felt like we were hanging out at his house, eating at the kitchen island while he cooked. The chef recommended the camote asado, callo de hacha al horno, enmoladas de pollo, and the taco de suadero. Our favorite bites were the enmoladas de pollo and the taco de suadero. The tortillas and sauces are so good! We also had the birria de borrego which was really good but not quite worth the price compared to the other dishes we enjoyed.

    I am Mexican, from Jalisco and Michoacán. 100% de Agave has a wonderful menu that satisfies both the Tex-Mex, Mexican American fans, alongside those of us who prefer a menu that reminds of us our mama’s home cooking. Top notch happy hour and service, plus an under-rated brunch.
