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.

Overall nice experience and quality food, but we won’t be going back. They charged $5 for an ice cube for a bourbon. Seriously? It’s frozen water! We used to dine there for under $150, now the tab is $220. Unacceptable and not worth it.

Despite a 30 minute delay on our reservation due to a kitchen issue during the Valentines Day rush, we were met with amazing service at every turn. Our server at the bar tag teamed the wine pairing skillfully while the bartender was also very attentive. Food was good to great during the prix fixe menu with only a miss on 1 dessert - olive cake was dry. Pasta, burrata, fish and beef were all great. Will return to hit the regular menu for sure.
