"Definitely one of our favorite restaurants in the area!! We love Luca’s and have taken many friends there and now they request we go back when we see them! Staff is very professional and friendly. To start the meal they bring over a ceramic box filled with warm, small triangles of foccacia with a filling between the layers. The type varies and is always my absolute favorite! You also get round delicious rolls, also warm. It is served with a sundried tomato pesto and a flavored olive oil. Yum! Too many restaurants serve cold bread. Always a pet peeve of mine!Two of us started with the polenta app and the other two had the degree Bruschetta! Delicious! The polenta was four nice size squares of polenta with a peach agridulce, which has a sweet and sour note, topped with hazelnuts and ricotta salata. The bruschetta is like a nice size pizza covered in heirloom cherry tomatoes! My friend thought the cheese that was melted under the tomatoes was the best she has had! She said it was so much better than what she has had on pizzas. The brick oven crust also adds another dimension of flavor and texture!For entrees one had veal saltimbocca, which he loves and gets almost every time he goes, two had pasta dishes which are always excellent because they make all their own pasta and I had an amazing special! It was a lobster tail split and served over a homemade papparadelle pasta with corn and peas in a truffle cream sauce! OMG was that delicious! For dessert we had the passion fruit sorbet and my friends the tiramisu. Also excellent. Matt was our server and he was very attentive ! All was wonderful and I can’t wait to go back!!"
