About this restaurant

  • Charming
  • Good for special occasions
  • Neighbourhood gem
If you are seeking not just a great meal, but a great dining experience, you need look no further than Luca’s Ristorante Somerset. Tucked away on Rt. 27 between Princeton and New Brunswick, Luca’s Somerset is an oasis of authentic regional Italian cuisine. Offering modern adaptations of traditional dishes from Ischia, here you can enjoy hand-cut ravioli stuffed with Chef Andrea’s latest mouth-watering combinations, a selection of fish entrees so fresh that they evoke the Mediterranean Sea, or a filet of such quality that it is paralleled only by the accoutrement that accompany it. Our dining room décor is uniquely Ischitana, and goes to show that here at Luca’s Somerset, we understand that the difference is in the details. When you are done with it all, take in the cozy setting with a delicious dessert made from scratch, and the perfect cup of locally micro-roasted espresso or cappuccino. So please, be our guest.

    Love the flavors here, always unique! I had the Valentino — the pesto was just the right amount of cream and the cavatelli was cooked perfectly. My brother had the cinquanta — I had a bite and the Marsala sauce was heavenly. We finished off with the Pompei dessert which came out piping hot and paired with gelato — ended the dinner perfectly.

    Wonderful experience. Very authentic Italian dishes and extremely generous portions. The bead basket is great. The bruchetta and calamari were top notch. Great service too. Worth the drive up from Princeton.

    I have been to Luca’s at least six or seven times. Each meal has been amazing, whether I have one of the pastas or pizzas. This restaurant is hands down the best combination of great food and great value that is here in NJ!

    As always, the food and the service were exceptional. From appetizer to dessert everything was delicious. One of our guests said “I rarely will take any food home from restaurants but I am certainly going to bring home whatever Oso Buco that I have left. It is really good”.
