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.

    Amazing food! Couldn't be more satisfied (unless it was half the price but still worth it regardless).

    I went with two girlfriends. We shared a salad, a pasta dish and a pizza. Everything was delicious and it was just the right amount of food. We sat in the small front room by the bar. At first the music was too loud, but after a couple of requests, they turned it down enough for us to hear each other. Definitely will be back.

    We had a table of 5 people and all of our meals were outstanding. The pasta dish with fresh burrata was amazing and the short rib was delicious. We had a glass of complimentary bubbly to start and a hazelnut mousse at the end. The wine list was very good and our appetizers were excellent. The service was top notch! I highly recommend Luca but make a reservation, every table was full!

    As always reliable, food was excellent (had the braised short rib and the paparadelle! The service excellent and the atmosphere, I love that the tables are not so close to each other. The music was fun, but a bit loud, could be at level 2 than 3. Always consistent and consistently good. Would love to see a wider menu for wine by the glass! Perhaps a Tuscan wine by the glass?

    We were going to Luca's as a late Valentines date. Made a 5:30 reservation. We had to call them to let them know we would be late because of an accident on the highway. They told us that was not a problem, the next booking for the table wasn't until 7:30. We got there at 5:45. They seated us right away and brought us water while we looked at the menu. The restaurant is very cute. You can see the kitchen from your table. Our server took our app and dinner order. We had the house made burrata, which was delicious. Highly recommend. It came with a tomato jam that was really good. I ordered the Burrata Stuffed Chicken Parmesan, and my husband had the Manicotti. The manicotti came with a spicy sausage sauce that was amazing. Both dinners were very good. Around 7:00, we noticed a couple members of the staff watching us. I think they were trying to estimate how much longer we would be. It made us feel rushed, so we declined dessert. I would go back. The food was amazing, the restaurant was very cute, you could see the kitchen from your table. I love that! Great atmosphere. Definitely try the Burrata!

    Delicious food, great service. The homemade pasta is so good. Hazelnut mousse at the end was a delight. This was our first time but we’ll be back.

    It was a wonderful experience, the environment and atmosphere were warm and welcoming and intimate. It was a little nosey but that’s nothing the restaurant or staff could do about, I think everyone else was just excited for a fun night out. They sat us down and offered to take our coats and scarfs. We had Sydney has our server they were wonderful and explained everything to my cousin and I (as it was our first time). They offered us some champagne to start the night off and were so sweet and accommodating to us needing time to go over the menu. The appetizer was amazing and our food was beautiful and well done. Everything tasted amazing and they took such care to clear the table and wipe down the table and even gave us new silverware between our courses. And to finish off the night our server even packed our meals for us. I highly recommend this restaurant if you want a amazing night out.
