"The service at this restaurant, which includes a mandatory 22% fee, varied between minimal and insensitive, and was not worth the cost. One member of our group was very hungry upon arrival. We were promptly offered water, and later received a complimentary glass of Prosecco. However, fifteen minutes after being seated, we had still not met our server. After flagging someone down, we inquired about bread service, which was only offered after dietary restrictions were checked (as the spread was pork-based). Once given the all-clear, a cake and lard were brought to our table. When one guest requested a dark beer and some plain bread or bread sticks due to low blood sugar, they were informed that Luca does not serve bread or dark beer. Our server later returned to take our order, mentioning that she may be deaf or simply couldn't hear us. Unfortunately, the music was not lowered despite this, making communication difficult. After a 10-minute wait, our appetizers arrived, including a salumi platter that featured a generous amount of bread. While tasty, the experience would have been improved if there had been better communication between us and the waitstaff. The main dishes were brought out simultaneously and were generally good, though lacking a focus on local ingredients. The presentation of the starters and pizzas was impressive, while the pastas were average and one dish (corn ravioli) was unappetizing. Despite receiving high praise, we learned to be cautious of staff recommendations at Luca, as they have seemingly changed from previous visits. My husband and I plan to return in hopes of experiencing the greatness we remember, but it appears that Luca may have lost its touch."

Wonderful food prepared with excellence! Service was great and our waitress had good ideas on wine pairing. Love the fact they add in the tip… just pay the bottom line.

The food at this restaurant is exceptional, but the dessert was a bit disappointing. The service is great and the atmosphere is wonderful, but the prices are a little high.

25 years ago it was one of our favorites but, like us, it is past its prime. The dinner came right on top of the salad and we had to split our own plate (would be happy to pay extra for them to split in the kitchen). Poor wine list. Seems to be going through the motions. Not bad but not anything special anymore. View menu

We drive by this place all the time and finally came in and were blown away. From our server who was very kind and gave wonderful recommendations to the Burrata Stuffed Chicken Parm, 10/10 experience. The homemade pasta is flavorful and cooked to the perfect level…. We left absolutely stuffed. Would recommend for Italian lovers.

Luca has consistently been great. We booked reservations on short notice were able to get in with relatives from out of town. We all loved our meals as well as the service and the ambiance of the restaurant. This was my 4th trip to this restaurant I have never been disappointed with anything there. I highly recommend it will certainly keep returning.
