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.

    We did the High Tea service before the Stockshow parade. The tea service was absolutely lovely! We got to pick one tea flavor each and chose the champagne option. The scones, tea sandwiches and pastries were so good along with the cream, curd and preserves to go along with the scones. The service was impeccable and the hotel was still decorated for Christmas and was absolutely beautiful. I can’t wait to do this again!! So fun with the girls!!

    My experience at Luca has changed the course of history, bent the fabric of space and time, and shifted the paradigm in my favor. After a meal here, I am reminded of life’s beauty and pleasure. The burrata and prosciutto added genomes to my DNA and I am now superior in all aspects of life and the beyond. The Saint Pair cocktail gave me the heavenly visions. The pappardelle bolognese linked my consciousness with the infinite knowledge of all things. 10/10 would return

    Mondays because of the special can be vibrant and loud. Food can also come out not too hot, but the volume of business makes that acceptable. Jonathan is the most informed, profession and friendly server you could ask for. This is a must visit!
