Neighbourhood gem

Charming

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.

Are you pasta-curious? Imagine serving (and eating!) pillowy pasta that you’ve filled and shaped with your own floury fingers. In this private, hands-on class at Luca, you and three friends will learn the art of making several types of pasta and pairing them with the perfect sauces. For two hours, join Luca’s Executive Chef Abby McCarty in our kitchen, where we’ve been lovingly rolling, stretching, shaping, pressing, and saucing pasta by hand since 2002. After crafting your pasta, enjoy a celebratory meal featuring your own creations—and take home a Luca chef’s apron as a keepsake! Priced at $800 for four (plus tax and fees), this experience makes a perfect holiday gift for any would-be pasta fondler!

We were the last table on a Tuesday night and you would have thought we were the first table on a Saturday night. From the complementary Prosecco to the fantastic Charcuterie board to the even better pasta(I’m from the east coast and it’s great pasta) Cat our server was the best.

In a time when restaurants struggle with consistency, good service, and even just keeping staff on site, a trip to Luca is such a restoration of faith in great service, phenomenal food, and a great experience. The atmosphere was lively but not chaotic in this recent visit (have dined there more than 30 times). A warm and cozy fire pit option for waiting or even eating outside decompresses the crowd waiting to eat. despite the packed restaurant, ever single one of the staff were good humored, pleasant and the consummate professionals. As alway, the food was perfect. This is the best burrata i’ve eaten around the world and the wild mushroom fusilli remains a gold mine. thanks to Frank and jacquline and the entire crew for such a wonderful evening. again.
