Charming
Neighbourhood gem
Good for special occasions

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.

We had an absolutely wonderful meal during restaurant week. Three excellent courses of the very best quality. The PEI mussels, shaved brussel sprout salad ,mushroom pasta, short rib/polenta , chicken burrata Parmesan all were spectacular. Service was very good . It was crowded and somewhat loud but we had an excellent table near window . A great value for such a gourmet dinner. We will definitely be back.

The food had amazing flavor and I did not leave hungry with just the resturant week menu. Service was top tier and ambiance was nice. I think the plating on the first two courses made me feel like I was missing something, but it all came out to a filling dinner.
