• Italian • Central

Booked 25 times today

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.

I’ve eaten here quite a few times and have never had a bad meal. The rib eye cap dinner is outstanding, but I departed and ordered the ribs last night. They were fall off the bone good!! Portion sizes are perfect and service is always attentive. This is one of my “go to” restaurants when I head to the Stapleton area. One area of caution. They changed their well bourbon for their Old Fashioned. It’s a terrible choice, so be sure to specify your own bourbon.

As usual the food was amazing. It can get pricey especially with a group of 4 or more, ordering alcohol impacts this as well. Must have items: black cod lettuce cups, Nobu Taco, black truffle sea bass, Anticucho lamp chops, & the shishito peppers. For dessert the shaved ice is amazing
